UNSPSC 31321302: Carbon steel riveted bar stock assemblies

UNSPSC 31321302 Carbon steel riveted bar stock assemblies (Commodity) appears in state and local procurement records tagged to steel and metal supply solicitations, though the recent opportunities listed under this code do not align with riveted bar stock assemblies as a discrete product. The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet and Illinois Department of Corrections have posted RFBs and solicitations for raw steel materials—flat bars, tubes, angles, sheet metal, and rods—for fleet maintenance, equipment fabrication, and correctional facility operations. The Ware County purchasing office on behalf of the Georgia Forestry Commission solicited steel to specification for shop use. The Texas Workforce Commission and City of Irving postings tagged to this code describe IT infrastructure services and professional IT support, which fall outside any reasonable interpretation of steel or metal commodity procurement. State and local buyers under the genuine steel-material solicitations include transportation departments, corrections agencies, and municipal facilities management, with no single jurisdiction appearing as a dominant repeat buyer in the recent sample.

Activity on this code concentrates in Kentucky, Georgia, Illinois, and Texas, with Kentucky's Transportation Cabinet issuing two master-agreement RFBs (RFB60526000005042 and RFB60526000005041, both due April 14, 2026) for steel and other metals to support fleet and equipment needs, and the Illinois Department of Corrections posting a solicitation (26422DNRLNDMGB50988, due February 11, 2026) for mild steel sheet, tube, rod, and fabricated components for grill manufacturing at Shawnee Correctional Center. The Georgia Forestry Commission procurement (42000GFC0000445, due February 19, 2026) required steel delivery within four weeks. Kentucky's RFBs structured awards as master agreements with initial terms through April 30, 2027, and four optional one-year renewals; vendors must quote F.O.B. Destination Freight Prepaid and provide delivery costs per mile, with $1,000,000 minimum Commercial General Liability Insurance required. None of the steel-focused solicitations disclosed budget ranges or incumbent vendors. The code shows sparse and geographically dispersed state and local activity, with the two misaligned IT solicitations suggesting tagging errors rather than actual commodity demand.
