UNSPSC 11101907: Copper cathode

Copper ore that has been processed and purified to 99 percent purity and formed into multi ton cathode shapes

UNSPSC 11101907 Copper cathode is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally covers raw copper cathode material for industrial processing or resale, yet the three most recent opportunities tagged under this classification involve structural metals procurement (aluminum, iron, rebar, and steel), law enforcement equipment, and park irrigation system installation—none of which concern copper cathode supply. State and local governments do procure base metals, but the recent activity captured here does not reflect that scope. The City of Fort Worth's RFP 26-0222 (due July 23, 2026) seeks non-exclusive supply agreements for aluminum, iron, rebar, and steel on an as-needed basis with a 30 percent small business participation goal for firms certified and located in Tarrant, Wise, Johnson, Parker, or Denton County—a direct materials procurement, but ferrous and aluminum commodity rather than copper. The remaining two records (a Sourcewell cooperative law enforcement equipment RFP and a Florida park irrigation project) bear no relationship to the code's nominal scope.

Geographic activity and repeat buyers cannot be reliably characterized from this dataset. The Fort Worth opportunity represents the sole relevant recent procurement under this code, placing Texas as the only state with identifiable recent copper or base metals activity—though even this example is tangential. Sourcewell's law enforcement cooperative and the DeBary irrigation project appear to be miscoded. The source does not support a conclusion that copper cathode procurement is an active category in state and local solicitations as of mid-2026, nor does it reveal patterns of repeat buyers or broader geographic concentration. Firms evaluating this code should seek independent confirmation of actual copper cathode demand in their target jurisdictions, as the recent-opportunities record suggests limited or misclassified activity.
