UNSPSC 11101912: Iron ore lumps

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

UNSPSC 11101912 Iron ore lumps is a Commodity code that nominally describes raw iron ore extraction products, but state and local government procurement activity under this code shows minimal direct alignment with that scope. The single recent opportunity explicitly tagged with work under this code is the City of Fort Worth's RFP for aluminum, iron, rebar, and steel materials on an as-needed basis, which frames "iron products" as finished or semi-finished structural and reinforcement materials supplied for construction and maintenance rather than raw ore. State and local bodies soliciting under this code appear to be municipal procurement offices and cooperative purchasing vehicles; the Fort Worth opportunity emphasizes vendor experience in supplying structural steel, aluminum, reinforcing steel, expanded metal, and grating to city construction and facilities projects. The issuing bodies shown are a Texas city government and a Minnesota service cooperative (Sourcewell) coordinating on behalf of Washington county governments and other public entities, though the law enforcement equipment opportunity and the Florida irrigation project appear to be mistagged against this commodity classification.

Geographic activity centers on Texas (Fort Worth) and the Pacific Northwest (Washington state counties through Sourcewell), with no indication of broader national spread in the recent record. The Fort Worth RFP, posted June 24, 2026 with response due July 23, 2026, is the most representative current opportunity; it establishes a one-year non-exclusive supply agreement with up to five one-year renewal options, requires minimum five years' vendor experience, mandates 48-hour delivery capability to city locations, and applies a 30 percent small business participation goal for certified firms in five-county Tarrant area. Vendors must carry $1 million commercial general liability and $1 million automobile liability, and may request quarterly price adjustments tied to the Product Price Index. The code shows sparse recent activity directly aligned to its nominal scope; firms targeting state and local iron or steel supply opportunities should monitor municipal RFPs for construction materials and facility maintenance supplies rather than expect procurement under this specific commodity designation.
