UNSPSC 30265009: Aluminum SAE 5000 series cold rolled sheet

Cold rolled sheet of various thicknesses produced from SAE 5000 aluminum

UNSPSC 30265009 Aluminum SAE 5000 series cold rolled sheet is a Commodity code for aluminum sheet stock in the 5000 series (marine-grade, non-heat-treatable alloys), but recent state and local solicitations tagged with this code show limited activity directly aligned with the nominal specification. The code appears sporadically in procurement records, with recent opportunities variously requesting aluminum tubing, aluminum sign blanks, and unspecified raw aluminum materials rather than cold rolled sheet stock meeting SAE 5000 series specifications. State and local issuing bodies — including the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Orange County Florida, the State of Maine Department of Administrative and Financial Services, and the Texas Education Agency — have posted solicitations mentioning aluminum products, though the actual specifications and alloys requested diverge from the code's narrow definition.

Activity is geographically dispersed across Texas, Florida, Georgia, Maine, and Wisconsin, with no single jurisdiction dominating recent procurement. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Department of Criminal Justice IFB IW257847 for aluminum tubing (due July 24, 2026), Orange County Florida's sealed bid Y26-162 for aluminum sign blanks meeting Aluminum Association specification 5052H38 (due April 30, 2026, an ITB issued via the OpenGov e-procurement platform), and the State of Maine's RFQ 29B 26022400000000000207 for virgin aluminum substrate material (Alloy 3003-H12) for license plate manufacturing at 70,000 pounds (due April 3, 2026, submitted via AdvantageME VSS). The Maine solicitation most closely aligns with cold rolled sheet procurement, specifying gauge, coating, and coil dimensions, while the Orange County and Texas Education Agency records reflect broader metal supply aggregation. The code sees modest, episodic buying activity rather than sustained procurement momentum; qualification as a commodity buyer under this specification requires close attention to individual solicitation details to confirm material grade alignment.
