UNSPSC 11101905: Aluminum liquid

An intermediate product derived from processed aluminum ore which can then be casted into one or more aluminum alloys

UNSPSC 11101905 Aluminum liquid is a Commodity code that classifies molten or liquid-form aluminum materials purchased by state and local governments primarily for structural metalwork, fabrication, and construction supply contracts. State and local buyers procure aluminum liquid through non-exclusive supply agreements structured as master purchasing vehicles, typically requiring vendors to maintain inventory or direct supplier access and fulfill orders on short lead times—often 48 hours or less. Issuing bodies include cities, counties, and cooperative purchasing consortia. The City of Fort Worth represents a typical buyer profile, soliciting aluminum alongside iron, rebar, and steel on an as-needed basis with stringent delivery and compliance requirements (ASTM, ANSI, AISC standards) and a mandatory 30 percent small business participation goal for certified firms within five-county Tarrant County region.

Activity under the code is sparse in the recent public opportunities block. The one directly relevant solicitation is the City of Fort Worth's RFP 26-0222 (posted June 24, 2026, due July 23, 2026), which bundles aluminum, iron, rebar, and steel into a single non-exclusive master agreement with one-year initial term and five optional renewals. Two other recent opportunities in the source block—a Sourcewell law enforcement equipment RFP and a City of DeBary irrigation project—do not align with aluminum liquid procurement and appear to be code-classification mismatches. Geographic activity is limited to Texas (Fort Worth) in the clear recent record. Vendors pursuing this code should expect cost-focused evaluation (15 points), heavy weighting on small business participation and past performance (25 points each), and local-preference scoring in major jurisdictions.
