UNSPSC 11191604: Non ferrous alloy scrap

Scraps made of non-ferrous alloys

UNSPSC 11191604 Non ferrous alloy scrap is a Commodity code covering the pickup, processing, and recycling of scrap metal and related materials generated at state and local government facilities. State and local buyers use this code to solicit collection and recycling services for ferrous and non-ferrous metals, mixed metals from landfills and recovery stations, e-waste with recoverable metal content, and appliance scrap. The issuing bodies include county governments, county departments of waste management and recycling, and county service authorities. Counties across California, Georgia, Florida, and Minnesota have posted recent solicitations under this code or closely related commodity classifications. Representative recent work includes Sacramento County Department of Waste Management and Recycling's collection and recycling of unprocessed mixed metals and waste appliances from two county facilities (Kiefer Landfill and North Area Recovery Station) under IFB 2026GEN0053, with bids due June 9, 2026; Ventura County's metal recycling services for scrap metal at county facilities under RFB 6527, with bids due June 24, 2026 at 5:00 p.m.; Ventura County's e-waste recycling under RFB 6528, with bids due June 24, 2026 at 5:00 p.m.; and Clayton County, Georgia's e-waste disposal services under ITB 26-65, with bids due June 25, 2026.

Pricing in these solicitations is typically structured as a revenue-share or commodity-indexed formula tied to published market indices such as the American Metal Market (AMM) monthly averages, with the contractor paying the county based on current scrap metal or recovered commodity values at the time of pickup rather than charging a service fee. DeKalb County, Georgia's steel plates contract (ITB 2026-082, bids due July 23, 2026) differs in structure, requesting sealed bids for fabricated hot-rolled steel plates for roadway projects with a minimum 20% Local Small Business Enterprise (LSBE) subcontractor participation requirement. Sourcewell, a Minnesota cooperative purchasing vehicle, posted RFP 26RFP112426 for material processing and recycling equipment with related products and services on behalf of its Participating Entities, with proposals due November 24, 2026. Contractors typically must furnish collection containers or roll-off boxes, pick up loaded containers within 24 hours of notification, weigh loads on certified scales, and maintain monthly settlement reports. Insurance requirements commonly include general liability coverage of $1 million to $2 million, commercial automobile liability, workers' compensation, and in some cases pollution or cyber liability coverage. California solicitations require compliance with prevailing wage requirements under California Labor Code Chapter 1. Geographic activity spans California (Sacramento, Ventura counties), Georgia (DeKalb, Clayton counties), Minnesota (Sourcewell), and Florida (Solid Waste Authority of Palm Beach County's integrated waste-to-energy facility procurement under RFEI27501JH, letters of interest due November 18, 2026).
