UNSPSC 11172003: Aluminum iron alloy

An alloy consisting of a blend of aluminum and iron.

UNSPSC 11172003 Aluminum iron alloy is a Commodity code that encompasses welding and fabrication materials as well as raw aluminum stock for industrial processing and manufacturing. Recent state and local solicitations under this code show demand for coiled aluminum alloy used in correctional industries manufacturing, specifically 3105H21 aluminum in 21-gauge thickness for license plate production, as well as welded materials and components for equipment repair and facility maintenance. The issuing bodies span state correctional departments, county solid waste management agencies, and municipal courts, indicating the code captures both manufacturing inputs and repair-related metalwork across diverse public operations.

The Colorado Department of Corrections, through its Colorado Correctional Industries division, represents the primary recent activity, with three solicitations posted between May and August 2026 for coiled aluminum to supply the CCi Tag Plant in Canon City. These include IFB 2026-0179 (due May 20, 2026, later reissued May 23, 2026) requesting 350,000 pounds of coiled 3105H21 aluminum alloy and a follow-on bid (due August 26, 2026) for 10,000 and 70,000 pound coil quantities with identical metallurgical specifications. The Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners in Florida posted an ITB for mobile welding services (ITB-26-00389, due September 16, 2026, estimated at $207,429.10) covering minor facility welding repairs on solid waste equipment. The Los Angeles Superior Court solicited pallet rack wire decking (due May 7, 2026) unrelated to the code's scope. Activity concentrates in Colorado and Florida; no recent opportunities appear in other states within the available records.
