UNSPSC 30265503: Ductile iron billet

Billet of various cross sections produced from ductile iron

UNSPSC 30265503 Ductile iron billet is a Commodity code that describes raw ferrous metal stock; however, the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under this code does not reflect actual ductile iron billet purchasing. Instead, the single posted opportunity in the dataset shows Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners soliciting mobile welding and fabrication services—labor-intensive repairs and on-site metalworking—which falls outside the scope of raw material commodity procurement. The mismatch suggests either a classification error in the county's tagging system or a very narrow band of actual ductile iron billet demand in state and local procurement.

The one representative opportunity is Hillsborough County's ITB2600389 for Mobile Welding Services, posted August 26, 2026, with bids due September 16, 2026. The three-year contract, estimated at $207,429.10, covers on-site welding repairs and fabrication at Solid Waste Management Department facilities, including shielded and gas metal arc welding on roll-off containers, loaders, backhoes, and stationary cranes. Pricing is structured as unit rates for labor (journeyman welders and apprentices) and materials (steel plates, channels, angle iron, tubing). This activity originates in Florida and represents county-level procurement of services rather than material supply. Given the single entry and its categorical misalignment with ductile iron billet sourcing, the code shows little relevant recent activity for firms supplying raw ferrous metal stock to state and local governments.
