UNSPSC 11191611: Tin scrap

Scrap made of tin.

UNSPSC 11191611 Tin scrap (Commodity) covers the collection, processing, and recycling of scrap metals and metal-bearing materials from state and local government facilities, with recent opportunities showing active procurement across mixed-metal collection, ferrous and non-ferrous metal recovery, appliance recycling, and commodity-based revenue-sharing contracts. State and local governments use this code to manage waste streams from landfills, transfer stations, maintenance operations, and municipal infrastructure, structuring contracts as revenue-generating arrangements where contractors pay the jurisdiction based on published commodity pricing (American Metal Market indices, Detroit market prices, or equivalent benchmarks) rather than the government paying for disposal. Issuing bodies include county waste management departments, state transportation cabinets, county purchasing offices, and municipal procurement agencies such as Sacramento County Department of Waste Management and Recycling, DeKalb County Georgia, Ventura County, Clayton County Georgia, the City of Tucson, Kentucky Transportation Cabinet, Marion County Oregon, and the City of Detroit.

Recent activity spans California, Georgia, Kentucky, Oregon, and Michigan. Representative opportunities include Sacramento County DWMR's Metals Collection and Recycling (RFB 2026GEN0053, due June 9, 2026) for mixed metals and appliance pickup from two county facilities at tonnages of 10,800 to 11,775 tons annually with pricing indexed to American Metal Market monthly averages; Ventura County's Metal Recycling Services (RFB 6527, due June 24, 2026) for three-year revenue-sharing contracts where the contractor pays the county based on AMM pricing at pickup; Kentucky Transportation Cabinet's Scrap Metal and Aluminum Recycling (RFB 605 2600000483, due April 7, 2026) for purchase of three commodity classes from highway maintenance with percentage-of-AMM-Chicago-price bidding and multiple awards to responsive vendors; and the City of Detroit's Scrap Metal Removal and Sales (RFQ 543297, due February 10, 2026) for ferrous and non-ferrous metal recovery from Public Lighting Department infrastructure with Detroit-based business equalization credits. Contracts typically run one to three years with optional renewals, require certified scales and documented monthly reporting, impose prevailing wage and comprehensive insurance requirements, and award based on highest revenue return or best financial terms to the jurisdiction.
