UNSPSC 31231405: Copper shim stock

UNSPSC 31231405 Copper shim stock is a Commodity code covering thin copper sheet material used as spacers or alignment devices in mechanical assemblies and construction applications. State and local governments purchase copper shim stock primarily for facility maintenance, equipment repair, infrastructure alignment work, and specialized industrial projects where precise spacing or leveling is required. The sourcing base includes state departments of transportation and facilities management, county public works offices, municipalities managing aging infrastructure, and school districts maintaining HVAC and mechanical systems.

The recent-opportunities block contains no posted solicitations under this code, indicating minimal visible procurement activity in the state and local market at present. Without recent RFP, RFQ, IFB, or ITB records to reference, geographic concentration and issuing-body patterns cannot be characterized from current market signals. Practitioners should monitor cooperative purchasing catalogs and regional purchasing cooperatives where consumable supplies like shim stock may be aggregated, and track state DOT and county facilities maintenance bid calendars for indirect opportunities bundled into larger construction or equipment-service contracts.
