UNSPSC 30264702: Stainless steel SAE 400 series hot rolled coil

Hot rolled coil of various thicknesses produced from SAE 400 stainless steels

UNSPSC 30264702 Stainless steel SAE 400 series hot rolled coil is a Commodity code covering specialty ferrous metals and metal stock that state and local governments buy for equipment fabrication, infrastructure repair, and facility maintenance. The recent opportunities under this code diverge from the nominal scope: the posted solicitations target finished metal components—diaphragm plates, angle and square tube stock, anchor bolts, base plates, and sheet metal plate materials—rather than the raw coil product the code name suggests. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under the code include university systems, state departments, municipal public works and transportation agencies, and criminal justice operations. The Texas A&M University System, the State of Illinois, the Texas Water Development Board, the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, the City of Detroit, and the City of Tucson represent the recent buyer mix.

Geographically, the code shows recent activity concentrated in Texas and the Upper Midwest, with secondary activity in Michigan and Georgia. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas A&M University System's ITB TAMUS-ITB-26-0547 for stainless steel diaphragm plates due October 28, 2026 (submitted via AggieBid portal); the State of Illinois Blanket Order Agreement for stainless steel angle and square tube materials with proposals due September 11, 2026; the Texas Water Development Board's IFB for temperature sensors, cables, and mounting equipment due August 25, 2026 (single-source specification with exact brand requirements); the Texas Department of Criminal Justice IFB IW258604 for sheet metal and metal plate materials due July 28, 2026; and the City of Detroit's RFQ 547916 for anchor bolts, post base plates, and drive caps for traffic sign shop operations due August 12, 2026, with a mandatory Detroit Based Business Certification requirement and three-year contract term. The City of Detroit reissued the same RFQ as REBID 547916 in September after the initial August posting.
