UNSPSC 11101913: Iron ore fines

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

UNSPSC 11101913 Iron ore fines is a Commodity code that sees minimal relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The single applicable opportunity in the recent record is the City of Fort Worth's RFP 26-0222 (due July 23, 2026) for a non-exclusive agreement to supply aluminum, iron, rebar, and steel materials on an as-needed basis — a broad metals procurement that names iron among several product categories but does not isolate iron ore fines as a distinct line item. The Fort Worth solicitation requires vendors to demonstrate a minimum of five years' experience selling structural steel, aluminum products, iron products, reinforcing steel, expanded metal, and grating in various grades, dimensions, lengths, and finishes, with 48-hour delivery to City-designated locations and a 30 percent small business participation goal for certified firms in Tarrant, Wise, Johnson, Parker, or Denton County. The other recent opportunities in the block (Sourcewell's law enforcement equipment cooperative and the City of DeBary's park irrigation project) are unrelated to iron ore fines or metals supply and do not support the code's scope.

Fort Worth remains the only identifiable state or local issuer with a recent live solicitation touching this code, and the Texas jurisdiction dominates the recent-activity record. The code itself sees limited procurement volume at the state and local level — iron ore fines are primarily a raw-materials feedstock for steel mills and heavy manufacturing, not a common direct purchase by municipalities, counties, or school districts. Firms pursuing state and local metals supply should monitor the Fort Worth RFP and similar municipal blanket-purchase agreements for metals and structural materials, but should not expect iron ore fines to appear as a standalone commodity code in routine city or county procurement.
