UNSPSC 30264501: Stainless steel SAE 200 series cold drawn bar

Cold drawn bar of various cross sections produced from SAE 200 series stainless steels

UNSPSC 30264501 Stainless steel SAE 200 series cold drawn bar is a Commodity code covering raw metal bar stock and related materials that state and local governments procure for fabrication, infrastructure repair, and equipment manufacturing. Recent solicitations under this code show state and local buyers acquiring stainless steel angle and square tube stock, diaphragm plates, anchor bolts, post base plates, and sheet metal materials for operational needs ranging from traffic sign infrastructure to water treatment facility upgrades. The issuing bodies span state departments (Texas A&M University System, State of Illinois, Texas Water Development Board, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Texas Department of Transportation), city procurement offices (City of Detroit, City of Tucson), and smaller municipal utilities (City of Lavonia, Georgia). The code sees activity across multiple customer departments—public works, criminal justice operations, water utility infrastructure, transportation, and facilities maintenance—indicating steady procurement cycles driven by maintenance, replacement, and capital improvement projects.

Recent opportunities show geographic concentration in Texas and the upper Midwest, with notable activity from the Texas A&M University System (stainless steel diaphragm plates, ITB TAMUS-ITB-26-0547, due October 28, 2026), State of Illinois (stainless steel angle and square tube blanket order agreement, due September 11, 2026), City of Detroit Department of Public Works (anchor bolts, post base plates, and drive caps, RFQ 547916, initially due August 12, 2026, reposted as REBID due September 17, 2026), Texas Water Development Board (temperature sensors and related mounting materials, IFB ESBD_548214, due August 25, 2026), and Texas Department of Criminal Justice (raw sheet metal and metal plate, IFB IW258604, due July 28, 2026). The blanket order agreement structure employed by Illinois and multiple IFB postings by Texas agencies indicate procurement patterns favoring framework agreements and competitive sealed bidding. Delivery requirements typically call for domestic sourcing, compliance with industry standards (ASTM specifications where applicable), and thirty-day delivery windows from purchase order receipt; many solicitations emphasize Detroit-based vendor preferences, HUB participation goals, or prevailing wage compliance where applicable.
