UNSPSC 31341101: Aluminum welded or brazed sheet assemblies

UNSPSC 31341101 Aluminum welded or brazed sheet assemblies, a Commodity code, describes fabricated aluminum panel and structural components that state and local governments procure for facility repairs, infrastructure projects, and equipment applications. Recent solicitations show demand for perforated aluminum panels for shelter rehabilitation, raw aluminum tubing for correctional facilities, and metal plate materials for educational cooperative purchasing frameworks. The issuing bodies span county governments (Harris County), state departments (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Texas Education Agency), and special-purpose courts (Los Angeles Superior Court), indicating a mix of operational, capital-improvement, and statewide cooperative purchasing use cases. The code captures both custom fabrication work and raw material supply, though recent postings emphasize raw or semi-finished materials rather than fully welded assemblies.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and surrounding regions, with a July 2026 IFB from the Texas Department of Criminal Justice for aluminum tubing (due July 24, 2026), a June 2026 RFB from the Community Development Authority of the City of Madison, Wisconsin, for exterior building materials including metal components (due July 17, 2026), and an October 2026 IFB from Harris County for perforated aluminum panels for rehab shelter fabrication and delivery (due October 28, 2026). A May 2026 procurement from the Los Angeles Superior Court for pallet rack wire decking (due May 7, 2026) and a Texas Education Agency cooperative purchasing contract addendum (due April 23, 2026) round out recent tagged activity, though the latter two show marginal relevance to welded aluminum assemblies. No dollar values, incumbent vendors, or performance bond requirements specific to aluminum fabrication are disclosed in the available postings. Vendors should monitor Harris County, TDCJ, and statewide cooperative purchasing vehicles in Texas for near-term opportunities.
