UNSPSC 11171801: Inconel 600 super alloy

Nickel-based alloy, with the following main characteristics: Ni 72,00 % min., Cr 14,00 to 17,00 %, Fe 6,00 to 10,00 %, balance = minor metallurgical pollutions. This alloy is suitable for high temperature applications where corrosion resistance is important. Frequently used for heat-treating baskets.

UNSPSC 11171801 Inconel 600 super alloy is a Commodity code that shows little recent relevant activity in state and local procurement. The code's nominal scope—specialized nickel-chromium superalloy—does not align with the recent state and local solicitations tagged under it. The Colorado Department of Corrections issued two separate Invitations for Bid (IFB) in May 2026 for coiled aluminum alloy 3105H21 (not Inconel), totaling 350,000 pounds for license plate production at the Colorado Correctional Industries Tag Plant in Canon City, with monthly delivery installments and specific mechanical properties and coating requirements; a third opportunity from the Los Angeles Superior Court sought pallet rack wire decking (also unrelated to the code's scope). The mismatch suggests either tagging inconsistency in the state and local procurement system or that this Commodity code does not currently reflect active buying patterns in the state and local market.

Recent activity centers in Colorado and California, driven by the Colorado Department of Corrections' repetitive aluminum procurement for correctional industries operations and the Los Angeles Superior Court's facility equipment needs. The Colorado IFBs (posted May 5 and May 19, 2026, with bid deadlines of May 18 and May 22, 2026 respectively) were evaluated on lowest-cost basis with a 5% SDVOSB preference and required vendors to meet background checks and facility security protocols. No budget range or incumbent vendors were disclosed. The absence of recent opportunities directly matching the Inconel superalloy scope suggests this code warrants monitoring for activity shifts rather than immediate pursuit.
