UNSPSC 11171900: Titanium based super alloys

Titanium-based super alloys have titanium as their main metal contained

UNSPSC 11171900 Titanium based super alloys, a Class code, covers the procurement of specialized metallic materials and finished metal stock that state and local governments source for fabrication, maintenance, and manufacturing operations. Recent state and local solicitations under this code, however, show minimal alignment with the nominal titanium-alloy scope; instead, the activity reflects procurement of coiled aluminum alloys (primarily 3105H21 specification) for license-plate production, along with unrelated equipment such as pallet rack wire decking and mobile welding services. The Colorado Department of Corrections, through its Colorado Correctional Industries division, represents the primary repeat buyer, issuing multiple invitations for bid for 21-gauge aluminum coil stock (350,000 pounds in one solicitation, with smaller quantities in others) to supply the CCi Tag Plant in Canon City. The scope of work under actual recent solicitations diverges substantially from the code's titanium-alloy taxonomy, suggesting either miscoding at the issuing stage or limited current demand for titanium-based materials in state and local contracting.

Geographic activity is concentrated in Colorado, where the Department of Corrections has posted four related coiled aluminum solicitations since May 2026. Secondary activity appears in Florida, with Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners issuing an ITB for mobile welding services (ITB2600389, response date September 16, 2026, estimated at $207,429.10 over three years), and California, with the Superior Court of California, County of Los Angeles posting an RFQ for pallet rack wire decking (due May 7, 2026). The Colorado procurements center on coiled aluminum for license-plate embossing and use IFB notices with response dates in May 2026 and August 2026; materials must meet ASTM coating standards and specific tensile and yield-strength requirements, with deliveries to Canon City on a monthly schedule. The code shows little recent activity genuinely aligned with titanium-based super-alloy procurement at the state and local level; pursuit should focus on opportunities where the issuing body's actual scope explicitly names titanium or comparable advanced aerospace or industrial alloys.
