UNSPSC 31191511: Steel wool

UNSPSC 31191511 Steel wool (Commodity) shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal scope. The code's recent postings include structural steel procurement, substation components, aluminum products, copper sulfate, custodial supplies, and pest control services—none of which constitute steel wool or abrasive cleaning products. The single record that bears tangential relevance is the City of Fort Worth's RFP for aluminum, iron, rebar, and steel materials (RFP 26-0222, due July 23, 2026), which targets structural metal supply on an as-needed basis but addresses fabricated steel shapes and reinforcement rather than steel wool specifically. State and local jurisdictions posting under this code in recent months include the City of Fort Worth, Texas; Orange County and Pasco County, Florida; Cobb County, Georgia; Pinellas County School District, Florida; and Williamson County, Texas—a mix of counties, cities, and school districts with no clear pattern of repeat solicitation for steel wool products.

Geographic activity spans Texas, Florida, and Georgia based on recent postings, though none of these jurisdictions appear to be buying steel wool as a distinct commodity. The code's posting volume does not support a determination that state and local procurement under this category is active or substantial at this time. Firms evaluating this code should monitor future solicitations from facilities and maintenance departments that might use steel wool for equipment cleaning, rust removal, or surface preparation, but the recent opportunity dataset provides no concrete examples of active demand for the product line.
