UNSPSC 31341302: Carbon steel ultra violet welded sheet assemblies

UNSPSC 31341302 Carbon steel ultra violet welded sheet assemblies is a Commodity code that covers the supply of fabricated steel sheet metal components and raw steel materials for state and local agency operations. The recent solicitations show that state and local governments are buying steel plate, sheet metal, tubes, rods, and fabricated steel components—typically for maintenance, fleet support, correctional facility operations, and equipment fabrication. Issuing bodies include state departments of transportation, departments of corrections, state workforce agencies, city procurement offices, and special-purpose state commissions. The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet has posted multiple master-agreement solicitations for steel and other metals to support fleet maintenance and equipment fabrication, and the Illinois Department of Corrections solicited steel sheet metal and fabricated components for grill manufacturing at Shawnee Correctional Center, signaling repeat procurement patterns among transportation and corrections agencies.

Activity is concentrated in the South and Mid-Atlantic, with Kentucky and Illinois representing the most recent and highest-volume demand. The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet issued at least two RFBs (RFB60526000005041 and RFB60526000005042) in March and April 2026 to establish master agreements for steel supply, with bid closing on April 14, 2026, and contract periods extending through April 2027 with optional renewal terms. The Illinois Department of Corrections issued solicitation 26422DNRLNDMGB50988 on February 3, 2026, with a due date of February 11, 2026, for raw and fabricated steel components for correctional facility operations. The State of Georgia, through Ware County, solicited steel for the Georgia Forestry Commission shop (solicitation 42000GFC0000445, posted February 12, 2026, due February 19, 2026). Activity in Texas was limited; two opportunities tagged to this code (IW252223 from Texas Workforce Commission and IW246053 from City of Irving) are plainly IT infrastructure and professional services solicitations, not steel fabrication or supply, indicating misclassification by the issuing body rather than relevant commodity demand.
