UNSPSC 20131106: Sintered bauxites

UNSPSC 20131106 Sintered bauxites is a Commodity code with little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The single recent opportunity tagged to this code—Sourcewell RFP #061626, posted May 12, 2026—solicits law enforcement equipment for a cooperative purchasing vehicle, not sintered bauxites or materials in that commodity family. The mismatch suggests either a miscoding of the solicitation or minimal actual demand for sintered bauxites through state and local channels. Sintered bauxites (calcined aluminum oxide aggregates used in abrasive and refractory applications) do not align with law enforcement equipment procurement, and no other recent opportunities in the source demonstrate genuine activity under this code.

Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government unit and service cooperative operating under Washington state law (RCW 39.34), is the issuing body for the single opportunity on record. The RFP closed June 16, 2026, and targets a broad multi-state cooperative base including Washington counties (Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, Yakima) and participating entities throughout the United States and Canada. Given the absence of additional recent opportunities under the code, the geographic spread cannot be characterized from state and local sintered-bauxite procurement patterns alone. Firms evaluating this code should treat it as currently inactive for state and local procurement purposes and monitor for genuine sintered-bauxite solicitations from public bodies in the coming months.
