UNSPSC 11181503: Indium oxide

Indium oxide is used in some types of batteries, thin film infrared reflectors transparent for visible light (hot mirrors), some optical coatings, and some antistatic coatings.

UNSPSC 11181503 Indium oxide is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The two most recent opportunities tagged under this code — a DeKalb County, Georgia ITB for hot-rolled steel plates for roadway construction and a Solid Waste Authority of Palm Beach County RFP for equipment, operations, and maintenance of an advanced metals recovery processing system — are plainly unrelated to indium oxide procurement. Neither solicitation describes indium oxide as a material, component, or input; the steel-plates ITB is directed at fabricated structural materials for roads, and the metals-recovery RFP addresses processing equipment and operational services for waste-stream metals extraction. The code assignment appears to be a tagging error rather than a reflection of actual state and local buying activity under this commodity classification.

No material state and local procurement activity under UNSPSC 11181503 indium oxide is evident in the recent-opportunities block. Bidders and vendors evaluating this code should monitor for corrected or properly classified solicitations before investing business-development resources against the current posting record.
