UNSPSC 30264705: Stainless steel SAE 400 series cold rolled coil

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

UNSPSC 30264705 Stainless steel SAE 400 series cold rolled coil is a Commodity code for raw stainless steel material in coil form used in manufacturing and fabrication operations. State and local governments procure this material primarily through departments of criminal justice, transportation agencies, and other operations-focused state entities that manufacture or fabricate metal components and equipment in-house. Recent solicitations show demand for stainless steel sheet and plate materials to support ongoing facility operations, with the material specifications typically conforming to ASTM standards (such as ASTM A240 for Type 304L stainless steel) and delivered in standard dimensions such as 4' × 8' sheets or as coil stock. Issuing bodies are concentrated among state-level departments—primarily the Texas Department of Criminal Justice and Texas Department of Transportation—rather than municipal or county governments, reflecting the capital-intensive nature of in-house metal fabrication and the scale of work performed by larger state operations.

Texas dominates recent activity under this code, with at least two recent IFB solicitations posted by the Texas Department of Criminal Justice in 2026: IW240459 (posted March 10, 2026, due January 29, 2026) for stainless steel sheet Type 304L conforming to ASTM A240, and IW258604 (posted July 14, 2026, due July 28, 2026) for raw materials including sheet metal and metal plate to support TDCJ operations. The March 2026 solicitation required acknowledgment of two bid amendments modifying sheet dimensions and material type specifications. Bidders must register through the TDCJ Bonfire procurement portal, and ESBD set-asides apply to at least some of these procurements. No other states appear in the recent-opportunities block, and no dollar values are disclosed in the available solicitation materials.
