UNSPSC 31341105: Low alloy steel welded or brazed sheet assemblies

UNSPSC 31341105 Low alloy steel welded or brazed sheet assemblies (Commodity) describes fabricated steel components and assemblies that state and local governments procure for operational and maintenance needs across departments and facilities. Recent solicitations show purchasing activity focused on raw steel materials, flat stock, tubing, rod, and sheet metal in specified dimensions rather than finished welded or brazed assemblies per se; the code appears to capture the broader category of steel fabrication inputs and components used by state agencies, correctional facilities, transportation departments, and local utilities. Issuing bodies include state transportation cabinets, state departments of corrections, municipal governments, and county procurement offices. The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet has posted multiple RFBs for master agreements supplying steel and other metals to fleet and equipment operations, while the Illinois Department of Corrections solicited specific steel sheet, tubing, rod, and fabricated components for grill manufacturing at Shawnee Correctional Center, and Ware County (Georgia) on behalf of the Georgia Forestry Commission sought steel supplies for workshop use.

Recent activity concentrates in Kentucky, Georgia, Illinois, and Texas. Kentucky Transportation Cabinet issued RFBs (RFB60526000005041 and RFB60526000005042) on March 31 and April 7, 2026, respectively, with April 14, 2026 bid deadlines, seeking master agreements for steel and other metals supply with unit pricing, delivery charges per mile, and contract terms extending through April 30, 2027 with optional renewal periods. The Illinois Department of Corrections posted solicitation 26422DNRLNDMGB50988 on February 3, 2026, with a February 11, 2026 deadline for steel sheet metal, tubing, rod, and fabricated grill components at Shawnee Correctional Center. The Georgia Forestry Commission (through Ware County) solicited steel materials on February 12, 2026, due February 19, 2026, for delivery within four weeks and quoted per foot, square foot, or piece with shipping included. No set-asides or socioeconomic designations appear in these solicitations; all qualified vendors meeting insurance and submission requirements are eligible. Master agreement structures with requirements-based pricing and extended option periods dominate the recent Kentucky activity, while facility-specific, time-bound material procurements characterize the Illinois and Georgia opportunities.
