UNSPSC 23161607: Foundry sand

UNSPSC 23161607 Foundry sand is a Commodity code that covers sand supplies for emergency response and operational use. In state and local procurement, this code captures the supply and delivery of bulk sand for sandbag operations, flood mitigation, and similar contingency needs. Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners and other local jurisdictions use this code to procure sand on an as-needed basis to multiple locations, with delivery and response-time requirements that vary by emergency status. Issuing bodies are typically county governments and municipalities managing emergency preparedness and public works operations. Suppliers compete on unit price (per ton delivered), with contract terms often spanning multiple years to establish standing vendor relationships for rapid activation during declared and non-declared emergencies.

Activity under the code is currently light in the recent solicitation record. Hillsborough County in Florida posted ITB 2600073 on March 4, 2026, with a response due date of March 27, 2026, seeking sand delivery for sandbag operations on an ongoing basis. The County estimated contract value at $617,490 over three years and required bidders to meet 24-hour response times for non-emergencies and 4-hour response for declared emergencies, with comprehensive general liability coverage of $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 aggregate, plus pollution, professional, and cyber liability of $1,000,000 each. No set-asides or disadvantaged-enterprise restrictions were identified. Without additional recent opportunities in the source, the code shows limited visibility across state and local jurisdictions at present.
