UNSPSC 11172100: Cobalt based super alloys

Cobalt-based super alloys have cobalt as their main metal contained

UNSPSC 11172100 Cobalt based super alloys, a Class code, shows minimal alignment between its nominal scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The source contains no solicitations for cobalt-based superalloys or similar specialty metallurgical products. Instead, recent opportunities tagged under this code include mobile welding and fabrication services, coiled aluminum for license plate production, and pallet rack wire decking — none of which involve cobalt superalloys as primary goods or services. The mismatch suggests either a classification error in the source data or that the code is rarely used for state and local purchases matching its name.

The recent opportunities span three states: Colorado (multiple coiled aluminum solicitations from the Colorado Department of Corrections), Florida (mobile welding services from Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners), and California (pallet rack wire decking from the Superior Court of California, County of Los Angeles). The Hillsborough County ITB for mobile welding and fabrication services, due September 16, 2026, is estimated at $207,429.10 for a three-year contract covering on-site equipment repairs. The Colorado Department of Corrections issued multiple IFBs for coiled 3105H21 aluminum alloy in May and August 2026 for license plate production at the CCi Tag Plant. Given the absence of recent cobalt superalloy solicitations and the presence of unrelated commodity purchases, this code presents limited procurement opportunity under its stated definition.
