UNSPSC 31341309: Stainless steel ultra violet welded sheet assemblies

UNSPSC 31341309 Stainless steel ultra violet welded sheet assemblies is a Commodity code covering raw stainless steel sheet materials procured by state agencies for operational and maintenance purposes. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice is the primary recent buyer under this code, soliciting stainless steel sheet materials through competitive sealed bidding. TDCJ's IFB IW240459, posted March 10, 2026, specified 14-gauge Type 304L stainless steel sheets conforming to ASTM A240 standards in 4' x 8' dimensions, with amendments clarifying material specifications and dimensions—a pattern consistent with procurement of raw materials for fabrication, repairs, or equipment manufacture within correctional facilities. The code also captures broader raw sheet metal procurement; TDCJ's concurrent IFB IW258604 (posted July 14, 2026, due July 28, 2026) targets sheet metal and metal plate materials for general operational support. Issuing bodies under this code are limited to Texas state agencies, particularly TDCJ, which appears as a repeat buyer. The recent opportunities block does not support activity from counties, cities, school districts, transit authorities, or other state or local jurisdictions outside Texas state government.

Recent activity is concentrated in Texas. TDCJ's stainless steel sheet solicitation (IW240459) closed January 29, 2026, with bid opening at 3:00 PM that same date; the raw sheet metal and plate solicitation (IW258604) carries a July 28, 2026, response deadline. Both solicitations specify registration and submission through TDCJ's Bonfire procurement portal and note potential ESBD (Economically Disadvantaged Small Business) set-asides. TDCJ requires bidders to acknowledge all amendments and monitor the Electronic State Business Daily for posting updates; award is made to the responsive and responsible bidder offering best value. Contract renewal options are authorized by the Texas Education Agency, though specific award values are not disclosed in available materials. The geographic reach is limited to Texas state operations; the source does not support activity in other states or regions.
