UNSPSC 11101920: Pig iron

A product produced during the smelting of iron.

UNSPSC 11101920 Pig iron is a Commodity code that nominally covers pig iron products, yet the recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code show minimal direct alignment with that scope. The City of Fort Worth posted an RFP in June 2026 for aluminum, iron, rebar, and steel materials on an as-needed basis—a broader metals-supply solicitation that mentions iron as one product category among several structural and specialty metals. The City of DeBary, Florida issued a competitive bid in October 2026 for irrigation system improvements at Rob Sullivan Park, which involves controller installation, piping, and related components with no pig iron content. Sourcewell, a Minnesota cooperative purchasing vehicle, posted an RFP for law enforcement equipment on behalf of multiple Washington counties and participating entities nationwide, with no apparent connection to ferrous metals at all. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and these recent postings suggests the code sees little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement.

The geographic spread of recent opportunities spans Florida, Texas, and Washington state, with the Fort Worth metals-supply solicitation the only substantive posting aligned to materials procurement. Fort Worth's RFP establishes a 30 percent small business participation goal for certified firms in Tarrant, Wise, Johnson, Parker, or Denton County and requires vendors to demonstrate five years' experience supplying structural steel, aluminum, and iron products, with 48-hour delivery capability and quarterly price-adjustment options over a one-year initial term plus up to five one-year renewals. The irrigation and law enforcement postings introduce noise into this code's classification rather than signal genuine demand for pig iron procurement at the state and local level.
