UNSPSC 30266211: Cobalt ingot

Ingot made from cobalt

UNSPSC 30266211 Cobalt ingot, a Commodity code, covers the procurement of raw cobalt metal in ingot form for industrial applications. State and local governments purchase cobalt ingots primarily for manufacturing and materials-processing operations, battery production, aerospace component fabrication, and specialized metal-working applications where cobalt serves as an alloying agent or primary material. The code captures both virgin and recycled cobalt ingot stock sourced through metals suppliers and distributors. Issuing bodies soliciting under this code span state departments managing inventory for manufacturing operations, municipal utilities with metal-working or equipment-fabrication needs, and county-level facilities and special-purpose districts supporting industrial operations or infrastructure projects.

The source material contains no recent state or local procurement opportunities tagged to this code. Without posted RFP, RFQ, IFB, or ITB records, geographic concentration and representative recent solicitations cannot be characterized. Cobalt ingot procurement at the state and local level appears to occur infrequently or through standing contracts with metals suppliers rather than through competitive solicitations captured in public opportunity notices.
