UNSPSC 11101924: Lead concentrate

An intermediate lead product produced by a variety of processes --including flotation, leaching, gravimetry, etc.-- applied to lead ore.

UNSPSC 11101924 Lead concentrate, a Commodity code, does not align with recent state and local procurement activity posted under this designation. The three most recent opportunities tagged to this code involve structural metals procurement (aluminum, iron, rebar, and steel), law enforcement equipment, and irrigation system installation — none of which correspond to lead concentrate sourcing. The City of Fort Worth RFP 26-0222, due July 23, 2026, solicits non-exclusive supply agreements for structural metals on an as-needed basis, requiring five years' minimum vendor experience, 48-hour delivery capability, and a 30 percent small business participation goal; evaluation weights cost at 15 percent and vendor experience and past performance at 25 percent. This reflects actual buying patterns under the code in recent postings, though the disconnect between the code designation and the work solicited suggests potential classification inconsistency in the source data.

State and local buyers posting under this code span city procurement offices (Fort Worth), state-administered cooperative purchasing vehicles (Sourcewell on behalf of Minnesota and participating Pacific Northwest counties), and smaller municipal departments (DeBary, Florida). Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Florida, with secondary activity in Washington state and the upper Midwest through the Sourcewell cooperative purchasing network. The code shows limited recent activity aligned to its nominal commodity scope, with only one substantive opportunity (the Fort Worth metals RFP) that remotely connects to industrial materials procurement. Business development professionals evaluating this code should verify classification before pursuing; the low signal-to-noise ratio and category misalignment suggest either sparse legitimate lead-concentrate demand at state and local level or systematic tagging errors in the underlying opportunity database.
