UNSPSC 11172002: Aluminum remelt

Aluminum product consisting of aluminum pieces that have been remelted into specific shapes. The fact that they have been melted twice differentiates them from regular aluminum products

UNSPSC 11172002 Aluminum remelt is a Commodity code encompassing the procurement of processed aluminum coil stock for manufacturing end-use products, primarily by state correctional industries and facility management operations. State and local governments buying under this code purchase finished aluminum coil material to specific alloy, gauge, dimensional, and surface-treatment specifications for downstream production — in the recent cases, license plate manufacturing and warehouse operations. The Colorado Department of Corrections solicits under this code repeatedly for its correctional industries division, while other issuing bodies such as county courts procure related materials through the same taxonomy.

Colorado dominates the recent activity under this code. The Colorado Department of Corrections posted two overlapping IFBs in May 2026 — IFB 2026-0179 (posted May 5, due May 20) and IFB1CFAA20260001792 (posted May 19, due May 23) — both seeking 350,000 pounds of aluminum alloy 3105H21 coil stock in 21-gauge thickness, 11.98–12.00 inch coil width, with Bonderite M-CR 1430 C pretreatment and ASTM B-449-Class 2 conversion coating for the CCi Tag Plant in Canon City. Monthly deliveries of approximately 37,000 pounds per shipment are required on a freight prepaid FOB Destination basis, with responsive bids evaluated on lowest cost and Service Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses receiving a 5% preference on pricing. A single tangential opportunity from the Superior Court of California, County of Los Angeles (posted April 24, due May 7, 2026) solicited pallet rack wire decking rather than aluminum remelt and does not represent typical activity under this code.
