UNSPSC 11101922: Aluminum powder or flakes

UNSPSC 11101922 Aluminum powder or flakes (Commodity) encompasses structural and fabrication-grade aluminum products that state and local governments procure for construction, maintenance, and infrastructure projects. In practice, recent solicitations show state and local buyers acquiring aluminum as part of broader materials supply agreements covering multiple metal categories—aluminum sheet, plate, extrusion, and other formed products alongside iron, steel rebar, and related structural materials. The City of Fort Worth's RFP 26-0222, posted June 24, 2026 with a July 23 response deadline, exemplifies the scope: the city seeks a non-exclusive as-needed supply agreement for aluminum, iron, rebar, and steel in various grades, dimensions, lengths, and finishes, requiring vendors to demonstrate five years' experience and maintain 48-hour delivery capability to city-designated locations. Cities are the primary issuing bodies under this code, with individual municipal procurement offices managing blanket or requirements-based supply contracts rather than project-specific purchases.

The most recent activity concentrates in Texas, with Fort Worth the visible incumbent buyer. The geographic spread of recent opportunities is narrow; the source shows no additional state or local aluminum powder and flakes solicitations posted in the past three months. The Fort Worth RFP establishes evaluation criteria weighting cost (15 points), small business participation (25 points), vendor experience and past performance (25 points), delivery and order-fulfillment capability (20 points), and business location within city limits (15 points), with a 30 percent small business participation goal for vendors certified in Tarrant, Wise, Johnson, Parker, or Denton County. The contract runs one year with up to five one-year renewal options, and vendors may request quarterly price adjustments tied to the Product Price Index subject to city approval.
