UNSPSC 11101919: Copper matte

UNSPSC 11101919 Copper matte is a Commodity code that represents raw or semi-finished copper material inputs, yet the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show minimal alignment with its nominal scope. The City of Fort Worth's RFP 26-0222 (due July 23, 2026) solicits aluminum, iron, rebar, and steel materials on an as-needed basis for municipal use — structural metals rather than copper derivatives. The Sourcewell cooperative RFP #061626 (due June 16, 2026) covers law enforcement equipment across multiple Washington counties and national participating entities, which is unrelated to copper matte procurement. A third opportunity from the City of DeBary, Florida addresses park irrigation system installation, also outside copper-matte scope. The City of Fort Worth posting is the only recent solicitation with concrete relevance to metals procurement, and it emphasizes structural steel and aluminum stock rather than copper products, requiring vendors to demonstrate five years' experience, maintain 48-hour delivery capability, and meet a 30 percent small business participation goal for Tarrant County–area certified firms.

Geographic activity centers on Texas (Fort Worth), Washington (Sourcewell's multi-county cooperative), and Florida, though the code shows no clear concentration of actual copper-matte purchasing. The Fort Worth RFP, the most recent metals-related opportunity, uses best-value evaluation with 15 points for cost, 25 points for small business participation, 25 points for experience and past performance, 20 points for delivery capabilities, and 15 points for local business location. Sourcewell's law enforcement equipment RFP and DeBary's irrigation project represent mismatch tagging rather than active copper-matte demand. State and local procurement under this code appears minimal or inconsistently tagged; firms considering this Commodity code should verify actual buying patterns with individual jurisdictions before committing resources to pursue generic copper-matte supply agreements.
