UNSPSC 31341509: Stainless steel solvent welded sheet assemblies

UNSPSC 31341509 Stainless steel solvent welded sheet assemblies is a Commodity code that covers raw stainless steel sheet materials and related metal plate stock used in state and local government operations and infrastructure projects. Recent solicitations under this code show state agencies procuring stainless steel sheets to ASTM specifications—notably Type 304L stainless steel, 14 gauge, in 4' x 8' dimensions—for use in correctional facilities, water treatment systems, and other operational infrastructure. The issuing bodies are primarily Texas state agencies: the Texas Department of Criminal Justice has posted multiple sheet metal and stainless steel procurement notices, and the Texas Workforce Commission has appeared in the recent opportunity set. School districts, counties, cities, and special-purpose water authorities do not appear prominently in the recent activity for this code.

Activity clusters in Texas, where the Department of Criminal Justice and Workforce Commission have posted the most recent sheet metal and raw materials solicitations. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued IFB IW240459 for stainless steel sheet (Type 304L, 14 gauge, 4' x 8'), with a bid opening scheduled for January 29, 2026, and subsequently posted IFB IW258604 for raw materials—sheet metal and metal plate—due July 28, 2026, using the Bonfire procurement portal with technical contact Candice Johnson (Candice.Johnson@tdcj.texas.gov). A City of Lavonia, Georgia water treatment plant improvement project (sealed bid, May 26, 2026) involved comprehensive facility modifications but did not specify stainless steel sheet as a primary line item in available summaries. The code shows limited recent activity relative to its abstract scope; several opportunities tagged to raw metals or sheet metal in the source appear to address workforce services or IT infrastructure rather than stainless steel sheet assemblies, suggesting potential miscoding in the state systems generating these notices.
