UNSPSC 11101911: Iron ore pellets

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

UNSPSC 11101911 Iron ore pellets is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this designation show minimal alignment with iron ore procurement. The three most recent postings involve park irrigation system installation (City of DeBary, Florida), structural metals supply (City of Fort Worth, Texas), and law enforcement equipment (Sourcewell cooperative on behalf of Washington counties and other jurisdictions). Only the Fort Worth RFP touches ferrous materials — aluminum, iron, rebar, and steel — but frames the buy as finished structural products for construction use, not ore or ore-based feedstock. State and local procurement bodies do not appear to solicit iron ore pellets as an input commodity; the code's presence in recent opportunities suggests a classification mismatch rather than active demand for the product category itself.

The geographic spread of these postings spans Florida, Texas, and Washington, with the Fort Worth and Sourcewell opportunities representing broader regional or multi-state cooperative vehicles. The Fort Worth RFP (posted June 24, 2026, due July 23, 2026) explicitly targets small business participation at 30 percent of contract value and prioritizes vendors within the five-county Tarrant region; the Sourcewell cooperative (RFP 061626, due June 16, 2026) aggregates demand across Washington counties and opens to national and Canadian vendors. No recent opportunities in the source dataset represent solicitations for iron ore pellets, bulk ore concentrate, or ore-processing services. Firms pursuing activity under this code should verify whether state and local procurement systems are actively categorizing ferrous materials purchases under 11101911 or whether the code's appearance in these records reflects data-entry drift.
