UNSPSC 30265703: Ferrous alloy billet

Billet of various cross sections produced from ferrous alloy

UNSPSC 30265703 Ferrous alloy billet is a Commodity code that in recent state and local procurement activity covers hot-rolled steel plates and ferrous metal recovery and processing equipment rather than ingots or raw billets in the traditional metallurgical sense. State and local governments buying under this code are primarily counties and special-purpose waste authorities seeking structural steel products for roadway and infrastructure projects, as well as ferrous metal recovery from waste streams. DeKalb County, Georgia and the Solid Waste Authority of Palm Beach County represent the issuing-body types active in the code: a county purchasing department and a special-purpose district authority. The scope of work divides into two distinct categories: supply of fabricated hot-rolled steel plates cut to specification with lifting hardware and custom features for road construction, and operation and maintenance of advanced metals recovery processing systems that extract ferrous metals from industrial waste streams as a secondary revenue source.

Recent activity centers in Georgia and Florida. DeKalb County posted an ITB on June 29, 2026 for a three-year multiyear steel plates contract (ITB 2026-082), with bids due July 23, 2026, covering hot-rolled plates ranging from 4 feet by 4 feet to 12 feet by 12 feet with custom fabrication including lifting holes, lift bars, and stencil cutouts, totaling an estimated 480 plates over the contract term; the solicitation carries a mandatory 20 percent local small business enterprise (LSBE) subcontractor participation requirement. The Solid Waste Authority of Palm Beach County issued an RFP on June 9, 2026 for equipment, operations, and maintenance of an Advanced Metals Recovery Processing System (RFP 26-206), with proposals due July 16, 2026, processing approximately 150,000 tons of bottom ash annually from waste-to-energy facilities to recover ferrous and non-ferrous metals, under an initial three-year Site License Agreement beginning September 23, 2026. Both solicitations reflect active capital and operational procurement pipelines in the Southeast.
