About UNSPSC 12141500
UNSPSC 12141500 Earth metals is a Class code that covers collection, recycling, and supply of ferrous and non-ferrous metals in raw or processed form for waste diversion and construction projects. State and local governments buy under this code primarily through waste management departments seeking metal recycling and recovery services, and transportation and public works agencies procuring metals for infrastructure construction and maintenance. The recent solicitations reflect two distinct procurement streams: waste diversion and recycling services (mixed metals and appliances collected from county facilities), and metals supply for transportation and capital projects (steel plates and components for roadway work). Issuing bodies include county waste management and recycling departments, county public works or purchasing divisions, and regional councils of governments coordinating procurement on behalf of multiple municipalities.
Recent activity spans California, Georgia, and Massachusetts. Sacramento County Department of Waste Management and Recycling issued an IFB (2026GEN0053) on May 14, 2026 with a June 9, 2026 response deadline for collection and recycling of unprocessed mixed metals and waste appliances from two county facilities, with projected tonnages of 10,800 to 11,775 tons annually and pricing tied to American Metal Market monthly scrap iron and steel averages. DeKalb County, Georgia solicited sealed bids (ITB 2026-082) due July 23, 2026 for a three-year multiyear contract to supply hot-rolled steel plates in sizes from 4 feet by 4 feet to 12 feet by 12 feet for roadway projects, with an estimated total of 480 plates and a mandatory 20% Local Small Business Enterprise subcontractor participation requirement. Franklin Regional Council of Governments (FRCOG) posted an IFB (BD261188PURCHPURCH128019) on April 15, 2026 with a May 7, 2026 deadline for calcium and magnesium chloride in bag and liquid form for dust control delivery to multiple towns across five Massachusetts counties.
