UNSPSC 23161605: Foundry ladles

UNSPSC 23161605 Foundry ladles, a Commodity code, shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The single recent opportunity tagged under this code—Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners' ITB2600073 for sand delivery to support sandbag operations—falls outside the nominal scope of foundry equipment and does not represent typical purchasing under the category. The mismatch suggests either a coding error in the county's procurement system or that this Commodity code is not actively used by state and local bodies for its intended purpose. No related foundry-ladle procurement is evident in current state and local solicitations.

Hillsborough County, Florida posted the only recent opportunity on March 4, 2026, with a response deadline of March 27, 2026. The county sought sand supply and delivery on an as-needed basis for sandbag operations across multiple locations, with a three-year estimated contract value of $617,490.00 and no set-asides specified. This procurement—essentially a materials-delivery contract requiring 24-hour response times for non-emergencies and four-hour response for declared emergencies—bears no relationship to foundry equipment procurement and does not signal active demand for foundry ladles or related metallurgical equipment in the state and local market.
