UNSPSC 11171800: Nickel based super alloys

Nickel-based super alloys have nickel as their main metal contained

UNSPSC 11171800 Nickel based super alloys, a Class code, shows limited recent state and local procurement activity directly aligned with its nominal scope. The two most recent opportunities tagged under this code are coiled aluminum solicitations from the Colorado Department of Corrections — specifically, Colorado Correctional Industries (CCi) — for aluminum alloy material (type 3105H21) used in license plate production, not nickel-based superalloys. A third opportunity from the Los Angeles Superior Court is for pallet rack wire decking, unrelated to either nickel alloys or aluminum stock. The mismatch between the code's stated commodity and the actual recent solicitations indicates minimal current demand from state and local buyers for nickel-based superalloy materials themselves, or a tagging inconsistency in the procurement platforms capturing these records.

The Colorado Department of Corrections issued two separate IFBs (Solicitation Nos. IFB1CFAA20260001791 and IFB1CFAA20260001792) in May 2026, each procuring 350,000 pounds of aluminum alloy coil for the CCi Tag Plant in Canon City, Colorado, with bid deadlines of May 18 and May 22, 2026 respectively. Both solicitations specified delivery in monthly installments on an FOB Destination basis and offered a 5% price preference for Service Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses. No budget ceiling or incumbent vendors were disclosed. The Los Angeles Superior Court's May 2026 wire decking RFQ is unrelated to this code's scope. Based on the available recent opportunities, state and local procurement under UNSPSC 11171800 does not reflect demand for nickel-based superalloys; instead, the code appears misapplied to aluminum stock procurement or rarely used for genuine superalloy sourcing. Activity is concentrated in Colorado and limited to a single repeat buyer (the Colorado Department of Corrections), offering minimal basis for portfolio planning under this code's nominal commodity definition.
