UNSPSC 11101923: Zinc concentrate

An intermediate product in the process of zinc refining. It is derived by the application of a variety of processes --flotation, leaching, gravimetry, etc.-- to zinc ore.

UNSPSC 11101923 Zinc concentrate is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The three most recent opportunities posted under or near this code involve irrigation system construction, structural steel and aluminum materials supply, and law enforcement equipment procurement—none of which involve zinc concentrate or mineral extraction products. The City of DeBary, Florida's Rob Sullivan Park Irrigation Improvements project (Bid 03-15, due April 10, 2015) sought irrigation infrastructure installation; the City of Fort Worth's RFP 26-0222 (due July 23, 2026) targets aluminum, iron, rebar, and steel supply on an as-needed basis; and Sourcewell's RFP 061626 (due June 16, 2026) establishes a cooperative purchasing vehicle for law enforcement equipment across multiple jurisdictions including Washington state counties and agencies nationwide. These solicitations reflect construction, materials supply, and equipment procurement rather than mineral commodities.

The code appears to carry a classification mismatch or remains largely inactive in recent state and local procurement. Activity is dispersed across Florida, Texas, and Washington state through city procurement offices and a regional cooperative purchasing vehicle, but the opportunities posted do not reflect zinc concentrate purchasing or mining-related commodity procurement. A vendor pursuing this code should verify whether state and local agencies in their target markets actively procure zinc or mineral concentrates under this taxonomy, as the recent opportunity record does not support material activity in the category.
