UNSPSC 15131504: Iridium

UNSPSC 15131504 Iridium, a Commodity code, does not align with the state and local procurement activity currently posted under it. The sole recent opportunity sourced shows Alameda County Water District issuing an Invitation for Bids (IFB) for provision and delivery of gasoline and diesel fuel — a fuels commodity that falls outside the scope of iridium, a precious metal. The mismatch suggests either a coding error in the posted opportunity or material misalignment between the UNSPSC classification and actual purchasing intent. State and local procurement offices typically tag fuel supply contracts under commodity codes specific to refined petroleum products rather than specialty metals.

The Alameda County Water District IFB (IFB252635), due May 15, 2026, requests 55,000 gallons annually of unleaded regular gasoline and Renewable Diesel R99, plus 8,500 gallons of Type 2-D diesel fuel, with deliveries to five District facilities in Fremont, Newark, and Union City, California. Qualified bidders must demonstrate a minimum of five years' experience as established refiners, wholesalers, or distributors, with pricing structured as a daily OPIS-indexed adjustment to the San Jose rack price. No set-aside designations are specified. Without additional recent opportunities aligned to the iridium code's nominal scope, the code shows minimal relevant state and local procurement activity for business development professionals evaluating precious metals or specialty-metal procurement lines.
