UNSPSC 30264905: Aluminum SAE 3000 series cold drawn bar

Cold drawn bar of various cross sections produced from SAE 3000 series aluminum

UNSPSC 30264905 Aluminum SAE 3000 series cold drawn bar is a Commodity code that covers raw aluminum stock materials in specific alloy and form specifications. The recent opportunities under this code show state and local governments purchasing aluminum in sheet, plate, tubing, and coil forms for manufacturing and maintenance applications. The State of Maine Department of Administrative and Financial Services procured virgin aluminum substrate (Alloy 3003-H12) for motor vehicle license plate manufacturing; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice solicited aluminum tubing as raw materials; and Orange County, Florida contracted for aluminum sign blanks manufactured to Aluminum Association specifications 5052H38. These jurisdictions represent the core buying pattern: state procurement offices, county governments, and departments managing specialized manufacturing or infrastructure operations. The work spans fabrication-ready stock materials, with buyers specifying alloy grade, gauge or thickness, form (coil, bar, tubing, sheet), and coating or finishing treatments.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Florida, and Maine based on recent postings. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued IFB IW257847 for aluminum tubing with a response date of July 24, 2026. The State of Maine's RFQ #29B 26022400000000000207, issued by the Department of Administrative and Financial Services on behalf of the Bureau of Motor Vehicles, requested 70,000 pounds of Alloy 3003-H12 aluminum coil with a quotation deadline of April 3, 2026. Orange County, Florida's five-year requirements contract (Y26-162) for 45 line items of aluminum sign blanks closed April 30, 2026. The issuing bodies include state purchasing offices, state specialized departments (corrections, transportation, motor vehicles, education), and county public works divisions. No incumbent vendors are named in the recent solicitations. Buyers specify technical requirements tightly—alloy, gauge, coating weight, packaging, and delivery terms—and award on low-bid basis, making price and specification compliance the primary decision factors.
