UNSPSC 30265103: Aluminum SAE 3000 series hot rolled coil

Hot rolled coil of various thicknesses produced from SAE 3000 aluminum

UNSPSC 30265103 Aluminum SAE 3000 series hot rolled coil is a Commodity code with limited recent activity directly aligned to its nominal scope. State and local governments buying under this code procure aluminum raw materials and semi-finished forms—coils, sheet, plate, tubing, and substrate blanks—for in-house fabrication, manufacturing, or resale. The recent opportunities show a mix of issuing bodies: the Texas Department of Criminal Justice seeking aluminum tubing under IFB IW257847 (due July 24, 2026); the State of Maine Department of the Secretary of State, Bureau of Motor Vehicles, requesting Alloy 3003-H12 aluminum substrate for reflectorized license plate manufacture through RFQ #29B 26022400000000000207 (due April 3, 2026); and Orange County, Florida, soliciting aluminum sign blanks—street name blades, rectangular signs, stop signs, yield signs, and specialty signage in various sizes—through a five-year requirements IFB Y26-162 (due April 30, 2026). These are direct-procurement opportunities for raw or semi-finished aluminum stock, distinct from finished goods or fabrication services. The remaining opportunities in the block—structural repairs, painting and siding projects, fire hydrants, pallet rack wire decking, and engineering design services—do not align to the code's scope and appear to reflect tagging mismatches in the source data.

The geographic spread of relevant recent activity spans Texas, Florida, and Maine. Texas shows the heaviest concentration, with TDCJ and Orange County representing state agency and county-level demand. The Maine procurement reflects state-level manufacturing input procurement. No standout repeat buyers emerge across multiple opportunities within this narrow window; each buyer appears once. The code shows sparse recent activity overall—only three opportunities with genuine alignment to aluminum raw materials or semi-finished stock procurement. This signals either low baseline demand for state and local aluminum procurement, narrow seasonal or project-driven buying cycles, or heavy reliance on cooperative purchasing vehicles and existing blanket orders not visible in active RFP/RFQ/IFB posting streams. Vendors pursuing this code should track cooperative purchasing agreements and standing supply contracts alongside formal solicitations.
