UNSPSC 31341211: Waspalloy riveted sheet assemblies

UNSPSC 31341211 Waspalloy riveted sheet assemblies is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure specialized metal fabrication and assembly services, including mobile welding, sheet metal coil stock, and related metal component repair and production. The recent opportunities show that the code's scope extends beyond the nominal category name to encompass on-site welding and fabrication work for equipment maintenance, bulk coil aluminum for industrial production (particularly license plate manufacturing), and pallet rack components. Issuing bodies include county solid waste management departments, state corrections agencies running industrial production operations, and court systems managing facility infrastructure. The Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners issued an ITB for three-year mobile welding and fabrication services on September 16, 2026, covering on-site repairs at solid waste facilities with an estimated value of $207,429.10 and requiring journeyman welders, apprentices, shielded metal arc welding, gas metal arc welding, and related metal heating and cutting operations. The Colorado Department of Corrections, through its Correctional Industries division, has issued multiple IFBs and RFQs for bulk coiled aluminum (21-gauge, 3105H21 alloy) to supply the CCi Tag Plant license plate production facility, with quantities ranging from 70,000 to 350,000 pounds and delivery to Canon City, Colorado.

Recent activity concentrates in Colorado and Florida. The Colorado Department of Corrections has been the dominant repeat buyer, issuing at least four solicitations since May 2026 (IFB 2026-0179 posted May 5, 2026 with due date May 20; IFB posted May 19, 2026 with due date May 23; and RFQ DQ1CFAA20270000691 posted August 17, 2026 with due date August 26), all seeking coiled aluminum with identical metallurgical specifications for ongoing license plate production. Los Angeles Superior Court issued an RFQ for 606 wire decking units (52" × 42", 2,500-pound load capacity) due May 7, 2026. Colorado solicitations emphasize firm per-pound pricing, FOB destination with freight prepaid, monthly delivery schedules, and compliance with correctional facility access requirements including background checks and security training for personnel. The Hillsborough County opportunity requires Commercial General Liability ($1 million per occurrence), a one-year warranty, and E-Verify compliance. Service Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) preferences appear in Colorado Department of Corrections opportunities (five percent pricing preference when properly certified), and Los Angeles Superior Court does not specify set-asides but permits eligible vendors to claim DVBE or small business status.
