UNSPSC 30264403: Carbon steel SAE 1500 series hot rolled coil

Coil of various sizes produced from SAE 1500 hot rolled carbon steel

UNSPSC 30264403 Carbon steel SAE 1500 series hot rolled coil is a Commodity code that in recent state and local procurement activity maps primarily to welding services and mobile equipment repair rather than steel material procurement itself. The Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners' ITB for mobile welding and fabrication services illustrates the actual buying pattern: sealed competitive bidding for on-site repairs using shielded metal arc, gas metal arc, and gas tungsten arc welding techniques on heavy equipment (roll-off containers, loaders, backhoes, excavators, stationary cranes) and facility infrastructure at solid waste management locations. Pricing structures unit costs for labor (journeyman and apprentice welders, emergency response), materials (steel plates, channels, angle iron, tubing, pipes, flat bars), and equipment fabrication rather than bulk coil steel inventory. Issuing bodies soliciting under this code include county departments with equipment-intensive operations; the Hillsborough County Solid Waste Management Department example represents typical county government procurement for equipment maintenance and repair services contracted on a three-year, fixed-estimate basis ($207,429.10 in that instance).

Recent solicitation activity concentrates in Florida, with the Hillsborough County opportunity posted August 26, 2026 with response due September 16, 2026. The Texas Workforce Commission opportunity posted June 24, 2026 appears miscoded to this UNSPSC and involves IT infrastructure and workforce systems rather than steel or welding services, making it atypical for the code's actual scope. The Hillsborough County ITB represents the most concrete recent signal: a three-year contract with mandatory Commercial General Liability ($1 million per occurrence), Workers' Compensation, and Professional Liability coverage, a one-year warranty on all repairs, E-Verify compliance, and drug-free workplace certification under Florida Statute 287.087. Service response requirements include four-hour call response during business hours and 24-hour emergency repair completion, with pricing subject to annual CPI adjustment.
