UNSPSC 11101922: Aluminum powder or flakes

UNSPSC 11101922 Aluminum powder or flakes is a Commodity code that in recent state and local solicitations appears primarily as a component material within broader metal-supply agreements rather than as a standalone procurement category. The City of Fort Worth's RFP 26-0222, posted June 24, 2026 with a July 23, 2026 response deadline, frames aluminum as part of a non-exclusive supply agreement for structural metals—aluminum, iron, rebar, and steel—to be delivered on an as-needed basis to city-designated locations within 48 hours of order placement. Vendors must demonstrate a minimum of five years' experience supplying these materials in various grades and finishes, maintain sufficient inventory or binding supplier access, and comply with ASTM International, ANSI, and AISC standards. The city has established a 30 percent small business participation goal, requiring certified small business firms headquartered in Tarrant, Wise, Johnson, Parker, or Denton County to receive at least 30 percent of awarded contract value. The Fort Worth opportunity emphasizes cost (15 points), small business participation (25 points), vendor experience and past performance (25 points), delivery capabilities (20 points), and business location within city limits (15 points) under best-value criteria under Texas Local Government Code Section 252.043. Initial contract term is one year with options for up to five additional one-year renewal periods.

Recent activity under this code is sparse and geographically limited. Beyond Fort Worth, the available opportunities show little direct relevance to aluminum powder or flakes procurement—a City of DeBary, Florida irrigation system improvement project (IFB 0315, response deadline April 10, 2015) and a Sourcewell cooperative law enforcement equipment RFP (RFP 061626, June 16, 2026 deadline) do not align with the code's nominal scope. The Fort Worth metals-supply RFP represents the primary recent state and local solicitation activity genuinely matching the code's classification, and it frames aluminum as a material input rather than a specialty powder or flakes product. Texas shows the strongest current activity under this code; broader procurement patterns across other jurisdictions remain unclear from available recent postings.
