UNSPSC 11191611: Tin scrap

Scrap made of tin.

UNSPSC 11191611 Tin scrap is a Commodity code describing the purchase of scrap tin and tin-bearing materials by state and local governments. The recent opportunities block shows minimal direct tin-scrap procurement activity; instead, state and local bodies are soliciting broader metal recycling, e-waste recycling, and material processing services that may incidentally involve tin as one component within mixed-metal or electronic-waste streams. The Ventura County metal recycling bid (RFB 6527, due June 24, 2026) and Sacramento County mixed metals collection (2026GEN0053, due June 9, 2026) target ferrous and non-ferrous metals generally, with compensation tied to American Metal Market index pricing; tin may be included in non-ferrous pricing but is not separately itemized. Counties, municipalities, and cooperative purchasing entities (such as Sourcewell) dominate the recent activity. The issuing bodies include Sacramento County Department of Waste Management and Recycling, Ventura County, Clayton County Georgia, DeKalb County Georgia, and Sourcewell (a Minnesota cooperative serving multiple local government entities). A waste-to-energy facility RFI from Palm Beach County (RFEI27501JH, due November 18, 2026) solicits design-build-operate-maintain services for a mass-burn WTE facility processing 2,550 tons per day of municipal solid waste but does not isolate tin recovery.

Geographic activity centers on California (Sacramento, Ventura counties), Georgia (DeKalb, Clayton), Minnesota (Sourcewell), and Florida (Palm Beach), with no standout concentration in tin-specific procurement. Representative opportunities show state and local governments buying integrated metal and e-waste recycling services bundled as revenue-sharing arrangements or competitive-bid contracts, rather than purchasing tin as a discrete commodity. The Sacramento County IFB (2026GEN0053) solicits mixed metals and appliance collection from two facilities with projected tonnages of 10,800 to 11,775 tons annually; Ventura County's bids (RFB 6527 and RFB 6528, both due June 24, 2026) award to the vendor offering highest revenue return on metal and e-waste streams priced by published commodity indexes. The Sourcewell cooperative RFP (26RFP112426, due November 24, 2026) targets material processing and recycling equipment with related products and services as a cooperative purchasing vehicle for multiple participating entities. No opportunities in the block itemize tin scrap as a standalone procurement line item or specify tin-only volumes, pricing, or performance metrics.
