UNSPSC 31341609: Stainless steel bonded sheet assemblies

UNSPSC 31341609 Stainless steel bonded sheet assemblies is a Commodity code that encompasses raw stainless steel sheet stock procured by state agencies for operational and construction support. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice has posted multiple IFBs for sheet metal and metal plate raw materials, including a specific solicitation for 14-gauge Type 304L stainless steel sheets conforming to ASTM A240 standards with 4' x 8' dimensions, indicating the code reflects actual procurement of fabrication-ready metal stock rather than finished assemblies. Issuing bodies under this code are principally state departments—the TDCJ in particular shows repeat buying activity for sheet metal commodities to support facility operations and maintenance, with opportunities posted through state procurement portals such as the Bonfire procurement system.

Recent activity centers on Texas state agencies. The TDCJ IFB IW240459 (posted March 10, 2026, with bid opening January 29, 2026) solicited stainless steel sheets with two amendments clarifying material type and dimensions; a second TDCJ IFB IW258604 (posted July 14, 2026, due July 28, 2026) solicited raw materials including sheet metal and metal plate under the same framework. The code shows limited geographic spread beyond recent Texas postings; the source does not document active procurement of this commodity in other states or by local jurisdictions such as cities, counties, or school districts during the review period. Both TDCJ solicitations were posted on the agency's Bonfire procurement portal, with registration through Euna Procurement and contact through Candice Johnson (Candice.Johnson@tdcj.texas.gov).
