UNSPSC 30102402: Non ferrous alloy rods

UNSPSC 30102402 Non ferrous alloy rods (Commodity) covers materials and supplies sourced through state and local procurement, though recent opportunities tagged with this code show limited relevance to the nominal scope. The code appears in state and local solicitations for welding materials, coiled aluminum stock for manufacturing, and facility supplies, but recent opportunities also include unrelated goods such as pallet rack wire decking. When opportunities do align with the code's nominal scope—such as the Colorado Department of Corrections' purchases of 3105H21 coiled aluminum alloy for license plate production—the work involves procuring mill-finished or specialty-coated metal stock in high volumes for in-house manufacturing or repair operations. State and local issuing bodies using this code include corrections departments, county solid waste management agencies, and court facilities; the Colorado Department of Corrections appears as a repeat buyer across multiple coiled aluminum solicitations.

Recent opportunities cluster in Colorado and California. The Colorado Department of Corrections issued at least three separate invitations for bid (IFB) between May and August 2026 for coiled aluminum (3105H21 alloy, 21-gauge) totaling 350,000 to 420,000 pounds for the Colorado Correctional Industries Tag Plant in Canon City, with delivery in monthly installments, firm per-pound pricing, and a five percent preference for Service Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses. The Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners in Florida posted an invitation to bid (ITB) on August 26, 2026 for mobile welding and fabrication services—a related but distinct commodity—estimated at $207,429.10 over three years with response due September 16, 2026. The Superior Court of California, County of Los Angeles, solicited quotes for 606 wire decking units on April 24, 2026 with response due May 7, 2026, though this opportunity falls outside the code's typical scope. Activity under this code remains sporadic; no clear pattern of standing annual buys or multi-jurisdiction competition has emerged in recent months.
