UNSPSC 31341705: Low alloy steel bolted sheet assemblies

UNSPSC 31341705 Low alloy steel bolted sheet assemblies, a Commodity code, covers raw and fabricated steel materials—sheet metal, tubes, rods, bars, and finished components—that state and local governments procure for fleet maintenance, equipment fabrication, infrastructure repair, and facility operations. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers requesting specific gauges and dimensions of mild steel sheets, tubes, and rods, along with fabricated subassemblies such as grates, handles, and heat deflectors for production or repair purposes. Issuing bodies include state transportation departments, state correctional facilities, county procurement offices on behalf of state agencies, and municipal shops. The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet and Illinois Department of Corrections appear as active repeat buyers, with the Cabinet soliciting master agreements for ongoing fleet and equipment needs and the Corrections Department sourcing materials for facility fabrication projects.

Recent activity clusters in the Southeast and Midwest. The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet issued two RFBs in March and April 2026 for master agreements supplying hot-rolled flat bars, rectangle tubes, channels, angles, aluminum sheets, and steel plates, with bids due April 14, 2026, and a tentative award date of April 30, 2026. The Illinois Department of Corrections posted a solicitation on February 3, 2026, due February 11, 2026, for 12 sheets of 48" x 96" mild steel, 62 sheets of 3/16" gauge, 23 sheets of 12 gauge, 21 sticks of 3" OD tubing, fabricated components including grates and heat deflectors, and delivery to Vienna, Illinois. The State of Georgia, through Ware County, solicited steel for the Georgia Forestry Commission shop in Dry Branch with a February 19, 2026, deadline. Solicitations consistently require F.O.B. Destination Freight Prepaid delivery, Commercial General Liability Insurance of $1,000,000 per occurrence, and product specifications quoted per foot, square foot, or piece; none specify set-aside designations.
