UNSPSC 23161701: Sand casting core box

Cores are formed in core boxes when the sand is packed into the boxes and the resulting product is the shaped core.

UNSPSC 23161701 Sand casting core box is a Commodity code that in state and local procurement activity covers the supply of aggregates and stone materials used for construction, maintenance, and public works projects. The single recent opportunity in the data shows Columbus Consolidated Government procuring stone on an as-needed basis — a broad category including #3, #34, and #5 stone; screening materials; crushed stone base; surge stone graded mix; rip-rap types; and graded aggregate base. The code appears to see limited recent state and local activity; the sample contains only one current solicitation. Columbus Consolidated Government is the issuing body, a municipal consolidation in Georgia managing its own public works procurement through direct competitive bidding rather than cooperative purchasing vehicles.

Vendors must carry $1 million combined single limit general liability, workers' compensation per Georgia statute, $1 million automobile liability, and $1 million miscellaneous errors and omissions coverage, with the city named as additional insured. E-Verify registration and Georgia Security and Immigration Compliance Act compliance are required.
