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 shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The single opportunity posted under this code in the source — Columbus Consolidated Government's stone-supply contract (RFB No. 26-0037, due June 17, 2026) — solicits aggregate materials including #3, #34, and #5 stone, screening materials, crushed stone base, surge stone graded mix, rip-rap, and graded aggregate base for public works operations, not sand casting cores or foundry-related products. The code's nominal scope and the actual procurement being sought diverge substantially, suggesting either a classification error in the state and local opportunity database or minimal genuine activity under this Commodity code.

Columbus Consolidated Government is the sole issuing body represented in recent posting activity. The contract is a two-year award with three optional one-year renewals, with fixed pricing for the initial term and capped five-percent escalation thereafter, awarded to two vendors (Primary and Secondary) based on lowest-responsive-responsible bidding. Estimated monthly consumption is approximately 200 tons, with delivery required within two hours of order placement when specified or pickup at the vendor's plant. Required insurance includes $1 million combined single limit general liability, $1 million automobile liability, and $1 million miscellaneous errors and omissions, with E-Verify registration and Georgia Security and Immigration Compliance Act compliance mandatory. The code shows no other recent state and local opportunities and little signal of active pursuit under its stated classification.
