UNSPSC 20131106: Sintered bauxites

UNSPSC 20131106 Sintered bauxites is a Commodity code that shows minimal recent activity aligned with its nominal scope. The two most recent state and local opportunities posted under this code are unrelated to sintered bauxite procurement. The City of Tucson Environmental and General Services Division issued RFP 240011 for EPA-certified refrigerant reclamation services at the Los Reales Sustainability Campus—gas extraction, documentation, and recycling of refrigerants from appliances and HVAC units. Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government cooperative, issued RFP 061626 on behalf of participating county and municipal entities across Washington state, the upper Midwest, and beyond to establish a contracting vehicle for law enforcement equipment available to thousands of public agencies nationwide. Neither opportunity involves bauxite, refractory materials, or industrial minerals.

The code appears inactive for its intended commodity class at the state and local level based on available recent solicitation data. No state or local purchasing activity targeting sintered bauxite—typically used in refractories, abrasives, ceramics, or metallurgical applications—appears in the recent opportunities record. Business development professionals should verify whether state and local procurement offices in target jurisdictions have used alternative codes for bauxite and refractory-mineral purchases, or whether demand in this commodity class remains driven primarily by federal procurement or direct commercial channels rather than competitive state and local solicitations.
