UNSPSC 31321301: Aluminum riveted bar stock assemblies

UNSPSC 31321301 Aluminum riveted bar stock assemblies is a Commodity code that rarely reflects state and local procurement activity under its stated taxonomy. Recent opportunities tagged with this code involve raw aluminum materials such as tubing, sheet stock, and plate material for manufacturing and construction, but the actual purchases diverge significantly from the code's specific reference to riveted bar stock assemblies. State and local buyers soliciting under this code include the Texas Department of Criminal Justice requesting aluminum tubing for raw materials; the State of Maine Department of Administrative and Financial Services procuring virgin aluminum substrate for motor vehicle license plate manufacturing; Orange County, Florida acquiring aluminum sign blanks in various configurations; and the City of Midland, Texas seeking fire hydrants. The issuing-body mix spans state procurement offices, counties, and municipalities; school districts and transit authorities do not appear prominently in recent activity.

The code shows activity concentrated in Texas, Florida, Georgia, and Maine over the past four months. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Department of Criminal Justice IFB IW257847 for raw materials aluminum tubing with a response due July 24, 2026; Orange County, Florida's five-year requirements contract Y26-162 for aluminum sign blanks with an April 30, 2026 bid deadline under the OpenGov e-Procurement Platform; and the State of Maine's RFQ 29B 26022400000000000207 for virgin aluminum substrate material (Alloy 3003-H12 coils, 70,000 pounds expected purchase) for reflectorized motor vehicle license plates, due April 3, 2026, through the AdvantageME Vendor Self Service system. The code shows no current opportunities that specifically address riveted bar stock assemblies or structural aluminum assembly work, suggesting the code is either underutilized for its intended commodity or mistagged in recent state and local procurement systems.
