UNSPSC 31341602: Carbon steel bonded sheet assemblies

UNSPSC 31341602 Carbon steel bonded sheet assemblies is a Commodity code that names a highly specific material product, yet the recent state and local solicitations tagged with this code reveal a mismatch between the nominal scope and actual procurement activity. The code appears in opportunities for steel and metal supply across multiple jurisdictions, but the recent records show general steel procurement—including raw steel sheets, tubes, rods, and fabricated steel components—rather than specifically bonded sheet assemblies. State and local buyers posting under this code include the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet, Illinois Department of Corrections, Georgia Forestry Commission, and City of Irving, as well as workforce and IT procurement offices that have tagged unrelated infrastructure solicitations under the same code. The concrete work being solicited ranges from master agreements for bulk steel supply to specialized material requests for equipment fabrication and facility maintenance.

Recent opportunities are concentrated in the South and Midwest. The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet has posted two RFBs for master agreements supplying steel and other metals to its equipment division (RFB60526000005041 and RFB60526000005042, both with responses due April 14, 2026), establishing contracts from award through April 30, 2027 with optional one-year renewals; the Illinois Department of Corrections solicited steel sheet, tube, rod, and fabricated components for grill manufacturing at Shawnee Correctional Center (due February 11, 2026); and Ware County, Georgia solicited steel for the Georgia Forestry Commission shop (due February 19, 2026). The Kentucky master agreements use a best-value RFB approach with pass/fail evaluation of product completeness and delivery-cost competitiveness, require $1 million commercial general liability insurance, and allow multiple awards to support statewide and interagency purchasing. Illinois and Georgia solicitations follow similar competitive bidding structures with specified material requirements, delivery timelines, and condition standards. No set-asides or incumbent restrictions are documented across these recent postings.
