UNSPSC 11191502: Basic steel solids

Solids made of basic steels

UNSPSC 11191502 Basic steel solids is a Commodity code covering raw steel materials — flat bars, plates, tubes, angles, rods, and sheet metal in various gauges and dimensions — that state and local governments procure for equipment fabrication, maintenance, and fleet support. The issuing bodies span state transportation departments, state correctional facilities, municipal forestry operations, and county purchasing offices. Work solicited under this code ranges from bulk steel stock for fabrication shops to specialty materials for equipment manufacturing and repair. Vendors supply materials to specifications, typically with competitive pricing on a per-unit, per-foot, or per-pound basis, and must meet delivery timelines and material-condition requirements such as rust-free, oil-free condition upon arrival. The Commonwealth of Kentucky Transportation Cabinet and the Illinois Department of Corrections have been repeat active buyers in the recent cycle.

Kentucky leads recent geographic activity, with the Transportation Cabinet Division of Purchases issuing two RFBs in March and April 2026 (RFB60526000005041 and RFB60526000005042) to establish master agreements for steel and other metals supply, with bid due dates of April 14, 2026, initial contract terms through April 30, 2027, and four optional one-year renewals available. The Illinois Department of Corrections posted a solicitation (26422DNRLNDMGB50988) on February 3, 2026, for raw steel materials and fabricated components — sheet metal, tubing, rods, and grill components — for Shawnee Correctional Center, with proposals due February 11, 2026. The State of Georgia, through Ware County, solicited steel for the Georgia Forestry Commission shop in Dry Branch, Georgia (42000GFC0000445) posted February 12, 2026, with a February 19, 2026 deadline. The City of Irving, Texas and Texas Workforce Commission posted opportunities tagged to this code in April and June 2026, though their summaries indicate IT infrastructure and workforce system services rather than raw steel materials, suggesting potential code misclassification in those records. Kentucky, Illinois, and Georgia show the strongest confirmed recent activity aligned to the code's actual commodity scope.
