UNSPSC 31351204: Inconel welded or brazed tube assemblies

UNSPSC 31351204 Inconel welded or brazed tube assemblies (Commodity) does not align with recent state and local procurement activity recorded under this code. The three most recent opportunities tagged to 31351204 involve coiled aluminum alloy stock for license plate production and pallet rack wire decking—neither product matches the code's nominal scope of inconel tube assemblies. The mismatch suggests either tagging error in the source data or that this code sees minimal genuine activity in state and local procurement.

The Colorado Department of Corrections issued two substantially similar Invitations for Bid in May 2026 (IFB1CFAA20260001792 and IFB1CFAA20260001791) for 350,000 pounds of 3105H21 aluminum coil in 21-gauge thickness for license plate production at the Canon City tag plant, with bids due May 20–23, 2026 and virtual bid openings scheduled for May 19 and 26. The Superior Court of California, County of Los Angeles posted an RFQ on April 24, 2026 for 606 pallet rack wire decking units (52 by 42 inches, 2,500-pound load capacity) with a May 7 response deadline. These three records constitute the available recent activity under the code. The Colorado solicitations offered a 5% price preference to Service Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses with federal certification and required all vendors to undergo criminal background checks and security training for access to correctional facilities. No geographic concentration is evident—activity spans Colorado and California. No budget ranges or award values are disclosed in the source materials. Business development professionals evaluating this code should verify whether the UNSPSC classification is accurate or whether relevant inconel-tube opportunities are being tagged elsewhere.
