UNSPSC 11111609: Basalt

UNSPSC 11111609 Basalt, a Commodity code, nominally describes a mineral product, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows little relevance to basalt sourcing or supply. The single recent opportunity explicitly tagged to the code—Fort Worth's RFP 26-0222 for structural metals including aluminum, iron, rebar, and steel—solicits ferrous and non-ferrous construction materials with no basalt component. The City of Fort Worth issued this RFP on June 24, 2026, with proposals due July 23, 2026, seeking a non-exclusive supply agreement on an as-needed basis with a 30 percent small business participation goal for firms certified and located in the Fort Worth metropolitan area. Vendors must demonstrate a minimum of five years' experience supplying structural steel, aluminum, reinforcing steel, expanded metal, and grating in various grades and finishes, maintain inventory or supplier access for 48-hour delivery, and carry $1 million commercial general liability and $1 million automobile liability coverage. The City weighted evaluation at 15 points for cost, 25 points for small business participation, 25 points for vendor experience and past performance, 20 points for delivery capabilities, and 15 points for business location within Fort Worth City Limits. This code shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its stated commodity scope and appears to be a taxonomy mismatch in the issuing body's classification system.

The geographic spread reflected in the single relevant opportunity is limited to Texas. No other recent state and local opportunities in the source materials match the basalt code's nominal scope or show procurement pattern across multiple jurisdictions. The mismatch between the code's name and the actual work being solicited suggests either miscoding at the point of solicitation or that basalt procurement under this code is not currently active in state and local markets tracked through recent postings.
