UNSPSC 11101910: Manganese lumps

A type of refined manganese ore sized to meet market demand.

UNSPSC 11101910 Manganese lumps, a Commodity code, shows minimal state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The recent opportunities tagged to this code involve structural steel, aluminum, iron, rebar, and law enforcement equipment procurement—none of which are manganese lumps or manganese-containing products. The City of Fort Worth's RFP 26-0222 (posted June 24, 2026, due July 23, 2026) solicits non-exclusive supply agreements for aluminum, iron, rebar, and structural steel on an as-needed basis, requiring vendors to demonstrate five years' experience and maintain 48-hour delivery capability to Fort Worth locations. A second opportunity, Sourcewell's cooperative RFP #061626 (posted May 12, 2026, due June 16, 2026), procures law enforcement equipment for participating entities across multiple states and Canadian jurisdictions. Neither opportunity involves manganese ore or lumps, suggesting the code has been misapplied in recent state and local sourcing or that manganese lumps are not a current procurement priority within the available opportunity set.

The geographic activity centers on Texas (Fort Worth) and the Pacific Northwest (Washington state, through Sourcewell's multi-state cooperative vehicle), with no evidence of manganese lump procurement in either region. No issuing bodies are repeat buyers for manganese under this code based on recent records. If your firm competes in ferroalloy or raw metallurgical materials, this code should be monitored with caution; the recent opportunities do not support active demand for manganese lumps at the state and local level. A third opportunity, the City of DeBary's irrigation system project, is similarly unrelated to the code's scope.
