UNSPSC 30264907: Aluminum SAE 4000 series cold drawn bar

Cold drawn bar of various cross sections produced from SAE 4000 series aluminum

UNSPSC 30264907 Aluminum SAE 4000 series cold drawn bar is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local solicitations tagged under it do not consistently reflect cold-drawn aluminum bar stock. Instead, the postings show a fragmented mix of aluminum and metal products with minimal overlap: fabricated perforated aluminum panels for a shelter rehab, raw aluminum tubing for a correctional facility, and wire decking for court storage—none of which are SAE 4000 series cold-drawn bar in the strict sense. The issuing bodies span county governments (Harris County), state departments (Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and court systems (Los Angeles Superior Court), suggesting the code is being used loosely as a catch-all for aluminum and metal materials procurement across diverse public agencies. No repeat buyers appear in the recent record, and no small-business set-asides, prevailing-wage requirements, or formal preference programs are explicitly stated in the aluminum or tubing solicitations.

Recent opportunities appear in Texas, Georgia, Wisconsin, California, and Indiana, reflecting scattered geographic distribution rather than concentration in any single region. Representative recent work includes Harris County's October 2026 IFB for perforated aluminum panel fabrication and delivery (due October 28, 2026) and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's July 2026 IFB for raw aluminum tubing (due July 24, 2026, with vendor registration and submission through the TDCJ Bonfire portal). A third posting—the Los Angeles Superior Court's April 2026 solicitation for pallet rack wire decking—illustrates how the code absorbs metal-goods procurements outside traditional bar stock, with 606 wire decking units specified at 52 inches by 42 inches, 2,500-pound load capacity, due May 7, 2026. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope (cold-drawn aluminum bar) and the actual work being bought (fabricated panels, tubing, and unrelated metal goods) suggests vendors pursuing this code should expect bid opportunities for aluminum products and raw materials broadly rather than engineered bar stock to specification.
