UNSPSC 11191802: Copper sulphide

Copper sulphide is a by product of nickel production

UNSPSC 11191802 Copper sulphide is a Commodity code with minimal recent state and local procurement activity directly aligned to the code's mineral classification. The recent opportunities tagged under this code center instead on mixed-metal and e-waste recycling services—collection, processing, and revenue-share arrangements for ferrous metals, non-ferrous metals, aluminum, copper cabling, and appliance disposal from municipal facilities, landfills, and public infrastructure. State and local issuers (Sacramento County Department of Waste Management and Recycling, DeKalb County Georgia, Ventura County, Clayton County Georgia, City of Tucson, Commonwealth of Kentucky Transportation Cabinet, Marion County Oregon, and City of Detroit) are soliciting metal recycling contractors on recurring cycles through RFBs, RFQs, and RFPs. The work is fundamentally materials-handling and commodity-sales services rather than raw copper sulphide supply or mineral extraction.

Activity spans California, Georgia, Kentucky, Oregon, and Michigan, with the densest recent posting clusters in California (Sacramento, Ventura) and Georgia (DeKalb, Clayton). Representative solicitations include Sacramento County's RFB for mixed-metals and appliance collection from two facilities, with pricing indexed to American Metal Market monthly averages (response due June 9, 2026); DeKalb County's ITB for hot-rolled steel plates over a three-year term with 20% LSBE participation required (bids due July 23, 2026); Ventura County's paired RFBs for metal recycling and e-waste recycling, both structured as revenue-share arrangements with highest-payment-to-county evaluation (bids due June 24, 2026); and City of Detroit's RFQ for ferrous and non-ferrous scrap metal removal from Public Lighting Department infrastructure on a three-year term with percentage reimbursement to the city (response due February 10, 2026). The code shows active volume in metal and appliance recycling services procurement but does not reflect direct procurement of copper sulphide as a raw material or chemical input.
