UNSPSC 30265200: Aluminum strips and ingots

Strips and ingots of various cross sections produced from aluminum

UNSPSC 30265200 Aluminum strips and ingots is a Class code covering raw and fabricated aluminum materials for state and local infrastructure, facility, and operations projects. Recent solicitations show state and local procurement bodies treating this code as encompassing both raw aluminum ingots, tubing, and plate stock, and fabricated aluminum components such as perforated panels for specialized applications. Harris County is soliciting fabrication and delivery of perforated aluminum panels for a rehab shelter; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice is requesting aluminum tubing as raw materials; and the Texas Education Agency posted a cooperative purchasing contract addendum involving metal plate and sheet metal. Issuing bodies span county governments (Harris County), state departments (TDCJ, TEA), and the broader state and local ecosystem. The code shows activity from specialized procurement needs—shelter rehabilitation, correctional facilities operations, and statewide educational cooperative purchasing—rather than routine commodity orders.

Recent activity is concentrated in Texas, with the TDCJ IFB for aluminum tubing due July 24, 2026, and Harris County's rehab shelter perforated panels solicitation (IFB2026000058) due October 28, 2026. The TEA statewide cooperative purchasing addendum (IW245992) posted April 27, 2026, with an April 23 due date, demonstrates ongoing aggregated demand across multiple school districts. The code shows sparse but active procurement in the regions served, with most recent opportunities appearing in mid-2026. Bidders should register on procurement portals such as the TDCJ Bonfire Hub and monitor county and state agency websites for fabrication specifications and raw-material quantity requirements; response windows are typically two to four weeks.
