UNSPSC 23161606: Foundry molds

UNSPSC 23161606 Foundry molds is a Commodity code that in recent state and local procurement activity covers the supply and delivery of sand and equivalent materials for emergency and ongoing operational use, though the concrete scope diverges sharply from the code's nominal industrial focus. The Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners solicited sand delivery for sandbag operations through an ITB posted in March 2026, requesting contractors capable of supplying multiple sand types on an as-needed basis to various County locations with rapid response times — 24 hours for non-declared emergencies and four hours for declared emergencies. Pricing is fixed per ton including all delivery, fuel surcharges, equipment rental, and related fees. Contractors must carry comprehensive general liability insurance ($1,000,000 per occurrence, $2,000,000 general aggregate), automobile liability ($1,000,000 combined single limit), workers' compensation, and specialized coverages including pollution liability and cyber liability ($1,000,000 each where applicable), with Additional Insured endorsements naming the County; E-Verify compliance and Florida drug-free workplace certification are mandatory. The code shows limited recent activity under its stated nominal scope — foundry mold production and supply do not align with the sandbag sand procurement actually posted under this classification.

The Hillsborough County opportunity stands as the only recent state and local solicitation supporting this code's recent activity, posted March 4, 2026, with response due March 27, 2026. The contract runs three years with an estimated value of $617,490.00, with no guaranteed minimum purchases and payment within 45 days of invoice. The mismatch between the code name and the actual work being procured suggests either misclassification at the County level or that this code captures a broader range of sand and aggregate supply than its foundry-mold designation implies in practice. The geographic footprint currently reflects only Florida activity. Absent additional recent opportunities under the code's stated industrial scope, the code shows sparse relevant activity for foundry-mold vendors.
