UNSPSC 31281509: Zinc stamped components

UNSPSC 31281509 Zinc stamped components is a Commodity code that captures metallic stamped and formed components, though recent state and local solicitations under this code diverge from the nominal zinc focus — the Texas A&M University System's October 2026 solicitation requests stainless steel diaphragm plates, indicating that state and local buyers are using this code to source precision stamped metal components across material types for engineering and operational applications. State and local solicitations under the code remain limited; universities and their system offices appear to be primary issuing bodies, though the recent-opportunities block contains only a single posted solicitation and does not support a characterization of repeat buyers or issuing-body diversity.

The Texas A&M University System posted ITB TAMUS-ITB-26-0547 for stainless steel diaphragm plates on October 12, 2026, with bids due October 28, 2026, requiring electronic submission exclusively through the AggieBid procurement portal. Prospective vendors must register with AggieBid and monitor that system for all addenda, Q&A, and updates; questions route to Sterling Crowdus at soprocurement@tamus.edu or through AggieBid's Q&A function, with technical support at vendorhelp@tamu.edu. The solicitation does not disclose quantities, pricing terms, contract duration, anticipated award date, site visits, pre-bid conferences, set-asides, preferences, or budget. Activity under this code is concentrated in Texas based on the available record; broader geographic spread and issuing-body mix cannot be characterized from the single recent opportunity posted.
