UNSPSC 11191500: Metal solids

Metal solids are made of sheet and tube ends, from cutting operations, which cannot be used for further production

UNSPSC 11191500 Metal solids is a Class code covering fabricated metal plate products that state and local governments procure for infrastructure and construction projects. DeKalb County, Georgia's recent solicitation demonstrates the concrete scope: hot-rolled steel plates with custom fabrication including lifting holes, lift bars, scoring, and stencil cutouts for roadway projects. The issuing body in this case is a county government purchasing department, typical for procurement of bulk material inputs to public works. Solicitations under this code involve sealed bids (ITB notices) with multiyear contract structures, firm pricing for initial periods, and mandatory local small business participation or documented good faith efforts. Contractors must provide professional references for similar projects, comprehensive insurance, and warranty coverage on materials and workmanship.
