About UNSPSC 11111812
UNSPSC 11111812 Vermiculite is a Commodity code that identifies a specific mineral product used in construction, insulation, and industrial applications. State and local governments procure vermiculite primarily as a raw material or finished product for facility maintenance, renovation, and construction projects. The code captures purchases of vermiculite in various forms—loose fill, boards, blankets, or aggregate—for thermal and acoustic insulation, fireproofing, soil amendment, and lightweight concrete applications. Issuing bodies soliciting under this code span county governments, city public works departments, school districts, and special-purpose facility authorities managing capital projects and maintenance programs.
The recent state and local opportunities block contains a single posted solicitation: DeKalb County, Georgia issued ITB 2026-076 in June 2026 for reconstruction of the DeKalb Tennis Center in Mason Mill Park, Decatur, with bids due July 13, 2026. However, the scope statement centers on IT and low-voltage infrastructure installation—conduit, cabling, pathways, and device terminations—rather than vermiculite procurement or material supply. This mismatch between the code assignment and the actual work described suggests the opportunity was tagged with an incorrect UNSPSC code. No other recent state and local opportunities appear in the source block. The code shows minimal recent solicitation activity aligned with vermiculite as a commodity.
