UNSPSC 31132002: Non ferrous powdered metal parts

UNSPSC 31132002 Non ferrous powdered metal parts is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure metal components and fabricated metal products, though recent activity shows the code capturing steel pallet supply contracts that diverge from the nominal "non ferrous powdered metal" scope. The Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners issued an Invitation to Bid (ITB2600197) in March 2026 for galvanized finished steel pallets—new, commercial-grade units with 48-inch by 48-inch dimensions, heavy-duty welded construction, two-way fork entry, and an 8,000-pound uniform floor capacity rated for heavy-duty operational and emergency response applications across four maintenance unit locations. The contract runs two years with no renewal options, calls for delivery within 20 days of purchase order receipt on FOB destination basis, and requires a minimum five-year warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship. Contractors must maintain comprehensive insurance including Commercial General Liability ($500,000 to $2,000,000), Automobile Liability ($300,000 to $1,000,000), Workers' Compensation ($100,000 to $1,000,000), and specialized coverages, with the county named as additional insured; bid and performance bonds are not required. The code shows limited recent state and local activity; the Hillsborough County pallet solicitation represents the primary visible opportunity in the dataset. The estimated project value is $70,264.60 for the two-year period, with price adjustments allowed bi-annually based on the U.S. Department of Labor's Producer Price Index for Finished Goods. Bids were due April 3, 2026, by 2:00 P.M. Eastern Time via the County's Euna Procurement system, with award to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder meeting all specifications on an overall low basis for all line items.
