UNSPSC 11111801: Terra cotta

UNSPSC 11111801 Terra cotta (Commodity) covers pottery supplies and clay for municipal arts programs and pottery studios operated by state and local governments. The City of Orlando's October 2026 Pottery Studio supplies procurement demonstrates the code's actual scope: clay in bulk quantities (4,000 to 5,000 pounds on a forty-five-day cycle), kiln supplies, wheels, and accessory materials to support active ceramic facilities. State and local buyers under this code are primarily municipal recreation or arts departments that operate public pottery studios and programs. The City of Orlando appears to be the primary recent buyer, sourcing fixed-price, inclusive-of-shipping supplies with strict one-week delivery windows for in-stock items and support for emergency expedited shipments.

Activity under this Commodity code is limited. The City of Orlando issued IFB 27-0025 for pottery supplies with bids due November 5, 2026, requesting completion of a one-year base contract with four optional twelve-month renewals; the solicitation applies a Veteran Business Enterprise preference and considers Small and Local Business Enterprise participation. A local service representative and annual reporting in Microsoft Excel format are required. Recent opportunities show Orlando as the identifiable buyer; geographic spread beyond Florida is not supported by the source. The remaining recent records in the data set (Williamson County Purchasing Department relocation notice and Sourcewell law enforcement equipment RFP) are unrelated to terra cotta or pottery supplies.
