UNSPSC 30102205: Stainless steel plate

UNSPSC 30102205 Stainless steel plate, a Commodity code, encompasses raw stainless steel materials — plate stock, angle, square tube, and diaphragm plates — that state and local governments procure for infrastructure, equipment fabrication, and facility operations. Recent state and local solicitations show this code applied to stainless steel diaphragm plates for university systems, stainless steel angle and square tube framework agreements for state procurement, and raw sheet metal and metal plate for correctional facilities and water treatment upgrades. Issuing bodies include state agencies (Texas A&M University System, State of Illinois, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Texas Water Development Board), municipal governments (City of Detroit, City of Tucson), and regional authorities. A small number of opportunities in the recent block carry explicit Detroit-based business certification requirements or state workforce composition mandates, though most do not specify set-asides or preference programs.

Recent activity clusters in Texas and Illinois. The Texas A&M University System posted an ITB for stainless steel diaphragm plates due October 28, 2026, requiring registration and electronic submission through the AggieBid portal with questions directed to soprocurement@tamus.edu.
