UNSPSC 31351303: Hastalloy X riveted tube assemblies

UNSPSC 31351303 Hastalloy X riveted tube assemblies is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities solicited under it consist almost entirely of coiled aluminum and wire decking products unrelated to the code's nominal scope. The Colorado Department of Corrections issued two near-simultaneous Invitations for Bid in May 2026 for 350,000 pounds of coiled aluminum alloy 3105H21 (21-gauge, 11.98 to 12.00 inches width) for license plate production at the Colorado Correctional Industries Tag Plant in Canon City, with monthly delivery in three-truckload installments on an FOB Destination, freight prepaid basis. The aluminum must meet specific tensile and yield strength thresholds, withstand embossing without breaking or surface tearing, and comply with Bonderite M-CR 1430 C pretreatment and ASTM B-449-Class 2 conversion coating specifications. A third opportunity, issued by the Superior Court of California, County of Los Angeles in April 2026, solicited 606 wire decking units (52 inches by 42 inches, 2,500-pound load capacity) for pallet racking — again, unrelated to the code's stated product line. None of the three recent opportunities involve Hastalloy X riveted tube assemblies or any similar specialty nickel-chromium alloy tubing work.

The geographic activity centers on Colorado and California. The Colorado Department of Corrections represents the sole repeat buyer in the recent records, appearing twice with identical aluminum coil specifications but separate solicitation numbers (IFB1CFAA20260001792 due May 23, 2026, and IFB1CFAA20260001791 due May 20, 2026), suggesting a split or amended procurement. Both Colorado opportunities offered a 5 percent pricing preference to Service Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses with federal certification and required successful bidders to clear Colorado Department of Corrections background checks and comply with facility security protocols including PREA compliance training. The Los Angeles Superior Court opportunity (due May 7, 2026) did not specify set-asides or budget values. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal scope; the tagging appears to reflect a data-entry mismatch rather than actual procurement of Hastalloy X riveted tube assemblies in state and local markets.
