UNSPSC 30264803: Stainless steel SAE 400 series hot rolled strip

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

UNSPSC 30264803 Stainless steel SAE 400 series hot rolled strip is a Commodity code that describes raw stainless steel materials in strip form, but the recent solicitations tagged with this code show a broader pattern of state and local agencies procuring fabricated stainless steel components and raw metal materials for operational and infrastructure needs. The Texas A&M University System issued an ITB for stainless steel diaphragm plates (due October 28, 2026), the City of Detroit requested anchor bolts and post base plates for sign shop operations, and the State of Illinois solicited a Blanket Order Agreement for stainless steel angle and square tube stock. These opportunities reflect procurement of both raw and semi-finished stainless steel materials used in facilities maintenance, transportation infrastructure, and utility operations. The issuing bodies include state departments, university systems, municipal governments, and specialized state agencies—a mix typical of state and local procurement across commodity materials.

Recent activity spans Texas, Illinois, Michigan, and Georgia, with Texas appearing as a repeat jurisdiction across multiple solicitations. The Texas A&M University System's ITB for stainless steel diaphragm plates (TAMUSITB270547, due October 28, 2026) requires electronic submission through the AggieBid portal with questions directed to soprocurement@tamus.edu. The State of Illinois BOA for stainless steel angle and square tube (posted August 28, 2026, due September 11, 2026) imposes a $15 fee for minority contractor initiative vendors on contracts exceeding $1,000 and requires $1,000,000 per occurrence liability insurance. The City of Detroit's RFQ for anchor bolts and post base plates (posted July 29, 2026, due August 12, 2026) mandates Detroit Based Business Certification and workforce composition requirements including 50% bona fide Detroit residents, with quotes submitted through Bonfire; a rebid version posted September 9, 2026 (due September 17, 2026) reissued the same scope. The code shows modest but active recent engagement from state purchasing offices and municipal governments focused on materials supply and inventory management for ongoing operations.
