UNSPSC 11111810: Fullers earth

UNSPSC 11111810 Fullers earth, a Commodity code, represents industrial minerals and clay-based materials used in pottery, ceramics, and filtration applications. Recent state and local solicitations under this code show limited activity focused on pottery studio supplies and operations. The City of Orlando's IFB 27-0025, due November 5, 2026, seeks pottery supplies including clay (4,000 to 5,000 pounds on a forty-five-day ordering cycle), glazes, and related materials to support a pottery studio operating twenty electric wheels, nine electric kilns, and associated equipment. Issuing bodies are primarily municipal recreation or arts departments and special-purpose districts; the City of Orlando appears as a repeat buyer with structured procurement cycles and preference for Veteran Business Enterprise and Small and Local Business Enterprise participation. The code sees sporadic activity rather than sustained volume — the recent opportunities block shows one substantive pottery-supply solicitation against three unrelated records (a county purchasing department relocation notice, a sanitary landfill cover-soil procurement, and a cooperative law-enforcement equipment RFP).

Geographic activity is concentrated in Florida (the City of Orlando) based on the recent record. No additional states show relevant activity under this code in the current opportunities block. Response deadlines and procurement cycles vary by issuing body; the Orlando IFB allows a one-year term with four optional twelve-month renewals and requires F.O.B. Destination delivery within one week of order placement for in-stock items, with fixed pricing inclusive of all shipping. Vendors must carry Workers' Compensation, Employer's Liability, Comprehensive Automobile Liability ($1 million combined single limit), and Commercial General Liability ($1 million combined single limit) insurance and maintain a local service representative for technical support.
