UNSPSC 30102200: Plate

UNSPSC 30102200 Plate, a Class code, covers the procurement of plate stock and fabricated plate materials for construction, infrastructure, and operational support. State and local governments buy aluminum plates, steel plates, and related structural plate materials under this code, often as bulk stock for fabrication shops, maintenance operations, and capital improvement projects. The solicitations show a mix of issuing bodies — state transportation departments procuring material for sign shops and aluminum fabrication facilities, and municipal governments acquiring materials incidental to construction projects. The Florida Department of Transportation dominates the recent activity under this code, establishing standing contracts for multiple aluminum plate grades and sizes to support ongoing operations at regional fabrication shops.

The geographic footprint centers on Florida, with secondary activity in Connecticut. The Florida Department of Transportation issued a competitive sealed bid (ITB15208) on February 25, 2026, for aluminum materials including plates, with bids due March 16, 2026, establishing a two-year contract with delivery to the Sign Shop in Lake City and the State Aluminum Structures Shop in Oviedo. All materials must meet Build America Buy America requirements and ASTM standards, with delivery within thirty days of purchase order issuance. The Town of Waterford, Connecticut posted an Invitation to Bid (IFB#26-002) on February 13, 2026, for sidewalk improvements at its Public Safety Complex due March 17, 2026; while nominally a construction project, this opportunity appears unrelated to plate procurement and likely represents a miscoding in the source data. The FDOT procurement shows the strongest current signal for active plate purchasing under this code.
