UNSPSC 31321402: Carbon steel welded or brazed bar stock assemblies

UNSPSC 31321402 Carbon steel welded or brazed bar stock assemblies is a Commodity code that covers raw steel materials and fabricated metal components supplied to state and local agencies for operational and maintenance purposes. Recent opportunities show state and local buyers procuring both raw steel stock — sheets, tubes, rods, and structural shapes in specified dimensions — and finished metal components for equipment fabrication and repair. The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet sought hot rolled flat bars, rectangle tubes, channels, angles, and steel plates for fleet maintenance through master agreements; the Illinois Department of Corrections solicited mild steel sheet metal, tubes, rods, and fabricated grill components for inmate facility equipment; and the Georgia Forestry Commission requested specified steel materials for shop operations. Issuing bodies include state transportation and corrections departments, county purchasing offices acting on behalf of state agencies, and municipal procurement operations, with repeat activity across Kentucky and Illinois driven by standing fleet and facility maintenance needs.

Recent activity concentrates in the Southeast and Upper Midwest, with Kentucky posting two RFBs for master agreements on steel and metals supply in March and April 2026, Illinois posting a solicitation for grill fabrication materials in February 2026, and Georgia posting a steel bid through Ware County in February 2026. The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet Division of Purchases issued RFB 60526000005041 (posted March 31, 2026, due April 14, 2026) and RFB 60526000005042 (posted April 7, 2026, due April 14, 2026) both seeking vendors to establish master agreements for metal supply with unit pricing, delivery charges per mile, and F.O.B. Destination Freight Prepaid terms; the contracts run from award through April 30, 2027, with four optional one-year renewals. The Illinois Department of Corrections issued solicitation 26422DNRLNDMGB50988 (posted February 3, 2026, due February 11, 2026) for raw steel materials and fabricated components to support grill production at Shawnee Correctional Center in Vienna. The Georgia Forestry Commission solicitation 42000GFC0000445 (posted February 12, 2026, due February 19, 2026) requested steel quoted per foot, square foot, or piece with delivery within four weeks and clean, oil-free, rust-free condition on arrival.
