UNSPSC 30264909: Aluminum SAE 5000 series cold drawn bar

Cold drawn bar of various cross sections produced from SAE 5000 series aluminum

UNSPSC 30264909 Aluminum SAE 5000 series cold drawn bar is a Commodity code that describes raw aluminum materials — primarily aluminum tubing, sheets, plates, and blanks — procured by state and local agencies for infrastructure, signage, manufacturing, and facility operations. State and local governments soliciting under this code include state departments of transportation and education, county public works and court systems, municipalities, and special-purpose districts. The work spans aluminum components for vehicle license plates, directional and traffic signage, structural applications in building repairs, and raw stock for in-house manufacturing operations. Recent opportunities show state procurement offices, county governments, and city engineering divisions as primary buyers, with Texas agencies (the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Texas Education Agency, and the City of Midland) and Florida and Georgia jurisdictions appearing most frequently in current solicitation activity.

Recent representative solicitations include the Texas Department of Criminal Justice IFB IW257847 for aluminum tubing (due July 24, 2026), the Orange County, Florida IFB Y26-162 for 45 line items of aluminum sign blanks manufactured to Aluminum Association specification 5052H38 anodized aluminum across a five-year contract (due April 30, 2026), the State of Maine Department of Administrative and Financial Services RFQ 29B 26022400000000000207 for virgin aluminum substrate material (Alloy 3003-H12, Gauge 20) for reflectorized multi-vehicle license plates, 70,000 pounds total (due April 3, 2026), and the City of Midland U25-01 procurement for 71 fire hydrants via Bonfire (due April 9, 2026). Activity is distributed across Texas, Florida, Georgia, and Maine, with additional opportunities in Wisconsin and California reflecting regional demand for metal materials in building repairs and facility equipment. The code shows consistent quarterly activity with proposals delivered electronically through state procurement portals (Bonfire, OpenGov, AdvantageME VSS) and submission deadlines typically one to four weeks from posting.
