UNSPSC 30264805: Stainless steel SAE 300 series cold rolled strip

Cold rolled strip of various thicknesses produced from SAE 300 stainless steels

UNSPSC 30264805 Stainless steel SAE 300 series cold rolled strip is a Commodity code that covers flat stainless steel stock materials in specified gauges and finishes used in fabrication, assembly, and component manufacturing across state and local operations. Recent solicitations under this code show state and local governments purchasing raw stainless steel materials for equipment fabrication, sign shop operations, and specialized component production. The issuing bodies include state agencies (Texas A&M University System, State of Illinois, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), municipal governments (City of Detroit), and regional water authorities (Texas Water Development Board). Scope varies from stock materials for assembly and fabrication (diaphragm plates, angle and square tube, sheet metal and plate) to procurement under blanket order agreements that enable flexible, as-needed purchasing with upfront unit pricing.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and the Upper Midwest, with the most current opportunities originating from the Texas A&M University System (ITB TAMUS-ITB-26-0547 for stainless steel diaphragm plates, due October 28, 2026), the State of Illinois (Blanket Order Agreement for stainless steel angle and square tube, due September 11, 2026), and the City of Detroit (RFQ 547916 for anchor bolts and post base plates, due August 12, 2026). The Texas Department of Criminal Justice and Texas Water Development Board also posted material procurement solicitations in summer 2026. Most opportunities are structured as IFB, ITB, or RFQ formats with response periods of two to three weeks; the Illinois BOA represents a framework-agreement approach enabling multiple purchase orders throughout the contract term. Detroit's procurement requires Detroit-based business certification and enforces workforce composition thresholds (50% bona fide Detroit residents, 25% minorities, 5% women). All recent solicitations emphasize electronic submission through procurement portals (AggieBid, Bonfire/EUNA Procurement) and compliance with state prompt payment, prevailing wage, and insurance requirements.
