UNSPSC 31191510: Abrasive stones

UNSPSC 31191510 Abrasive stones (Commodity) does not align with recent state and local procurement activity tagged under this code. The sole substantive opportunity in the recent record—Columbus Consolidated Government's RFB No. 26-0037, posted May 14, 2026 with bids due June 17, 2026—solicits construction and landscaping aggregates (crushed stone base, rip-rap, graded aggregate base, and screening materials for public works projects), not abrasive stones for grinding, sharpening, or finishing applications. The remaining records are administrative notices unrelated to procurement. State and local governments appear to use this code inaccurately or the category sees minimal direct activity under its intended scope.

Columbus Consolidated Government's stone solicitation in Georgia is the only recent opportunity with substantive scope detail. The city sought two vendors—Primary and Secondary Contractor—under a two-year term with three one-year renewal options, with estimated monthly volume of approximately 200 tons and delivery F.O.B. job site within two hours of order or pickup at vendor plant. Pricing was fixed for the initial two-year term with escalation capped at five percent thereafter, and required insurance included $1 million general liability and workers' compensation per Georgia statute. Given the mismatch between the code's nominal scope (abrasive grinding stones) and actual procurement (bulk construction aggregate), this code warrants low priority for vendors specializing in abrasive products unless further opportunities clarify whether the categorization error is systematic or isolated.
