UNSPSC 30103800: Metallic fibers and filaments

A type of manufactured fibers composed of metal, plastic-coated metal, metal-coated plastic, or a core completely covered by metal. Fibers can be drawn from ductile metals such as copper, gold or silver and extruded or deposited from more brittle ones such as nickel, aluminum or iron.

UNSPSC 30103800 Metallic fibers and filaments is a Class code that names sheet metal, steel plate, angle iron, tubing, and related metal stock materials that state and local governments procure for maintenance, repair, fabrication, and construction work. Recent solicitations under the code reflect primary use in equipment repair (mobile welding services, container repairs), facility infrastructure (HVAC ducting, structural support), and waste-management operations (roll-off containers, compactors). The code also captures fabrication inputs for specialized projects such as historical markers and signage systems where metal components form the substrate. State and local issuing bodies span counties, cities, school districts, and special-purpose authorities. Dallas County, the City of Tampa, Gainesville Community Reinvestment Area, Walton County, the City of St. Cloud, Hillsborough County, the Commonwealth of Kentucky, the Colorado Department of Corrections, and the City of Bloomington all posted opportunities under or closely aligned with the code during the past two months. The geographic spread centers on Florida, with secondary activity in Colorado, Kentucky, Illinois, and Arizona.

Recent representative opportunities include the City of Tampa's October 9, 2026 ITB 26-P-00555 for various steel parts (sheet metal, angle iron, diamond plate, tubing, pipe) to support container-shop and waste-to-energy facility repairs, with a 5% bid discount available to certified Small Local Business Enterprises and a one-year contract term with renewal options; the Dallas County October 14, 2026 solicitation (2098114) for steel trash-can receptacle assembly, due October 29, 2026; and Hillsborough County's August 26, 2026 ITB-26-00389 for mobile welding and fabrication services to repair equipment at solid-waste facilities, with unit pricing across labor, steel plate, channel, angle iron, tubing, pipe, and flat bars and an estimated three-year contract value of $207,429.10. The code shows steady demand for standardized metal inputs supporting public-sector maintenance and operations, with most opportunities structured as blanket agreements, unit-priced contracts, or as-needed purchase orders. Set-asides and local preferences appear in specific jurisdictions but are not uniform across the code's activity.
