UNSPSC 11111808: Common clay

UNSPSC 11111808 Common clay (Commodity) covers clay supplied to state and local government arts, recreation, and educational programs—specifically, prepared pottery clay delivered to municipal pottery studios and similar facilities on regular replenishment cycles. The City of Orlando's recent IFB for pottery supplies to support a municipal pottery studio demonstrates the actual scope: clay ordered on forty-five-day cycles in bulk quantities (4,000 to 5,000 pounds per order), stored on-site in municipal facilities, and used to feed operational pottery wheels and kilns. Issuing bodies under this code are typically municipal recreation or parks departments operating dedicated arts facilities. The City of Orlando appears as the primary recent buyer, with the contract structured as a one-year term plus four optional twelve-month renewals; the City retains the right to award to multiple responsive bidders and requires fixed pricing that includes all shipping costs, F.O.B. Destination, with expedited emergency delivery available at City-approved surcharges.

Recent activity is confined to Florida. The City of Orlando posted IFB 27-0025 for pottery supplies due November 5, 2026, with a Veteran Business Enterprise preference applying in evaluation and Small and Local Business Enterprise participation also considered. The solicitation requires standard insurance (Workers' Compensation, Commercial General Liability of $1 million combined single limit, Comprehensive Automobile Liability of $1 million combined single limit), submission of multiple compliance and disclosure forms, and maintenance of a local service representative for technical assistance. No other state or local opportunities under this code appeared in the recent-opportunities block; the code shows minimal activity in state and local procurement pipelines.
