UNSPSC 11171900: Titanium based super alloys

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

UNSPSC 11171900 Titanium based super alloys is a Class code that, based on recent state and local solicitations, actually covers procurement of specialized metal alloys and metal products for specific industrial or institutional applications. The Colorado Department of Corrections issued two closely related Invitations for Bid in May 2026 seeking 350,000 pounds of coiled aluminum alloy (3105H21) for license plate production, specified to exact dimensional and metallurgical tolerances including tensile strength, yield strength, elongation, surface coatings, and coil configuration requirements. State and local buyers under this code include correctional agencies operating industrial manufacturing operations; the Los Angeles Superior Court also appears in the recent opportunity block but for pallet rack wire decking, which represents a mismatch with the code's nominal scope. Issuing bodies soliciting under the code span state departments and county-level judicial entities, with the Colorado Department of Corrections appearing as a repeat buyer for commodity metal inputs to its manufacturing division.

Recent activity concentrates in Colorado and California, based on the two most recent opportunities. The Colorado Department of Corrections posted IFB 2026-0179 (posted May 5, 2026, due May 18, 2026 at 4:00 p.m. Mountain Time) and a duplicate or near-identical IFB (posted May 19, 2026, due May 23, 2026) for coiled aluminum alloy, with monthly delivery in three truckloads of approximately 37,000 pounds each to the CCi Tag Plant in Canon City, pricing to be evaluated on a lowest-cost per-pound basis with a 5% price preference for Service Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses. The code shows limited recent activity overall; the third opportunity in the source (Los Angeles Superior Court pallet rack wire decking, RFQ due May 7, 2026) does not align with the titanium-based super alloys or even aluminum alloy scope and may reflect a coding error in the state-local opportunity database.
