UNSPSC 31351304: Inconel riveted tube assemblies

UNSPSC 31351304 Inconel riveted tube assemblies, a Commodity code, does not match the work being solicited under this code in recent state and local opportunities. The three most recent postings tagged to this code involve coiled aluminum for license plate production at Colorado Correctional Industries and pallet rack wire decking for the Los Angeles Superior Court—neither inconel rivets nor tube assemblies. The Colorado Department of Corrections has posted two closely related IFBs (IFB1CFAA20260001792 and IFB1CFAA20260001791) seeking 350,000 pounds of 3105H21 aluminum alloy coil material with specific tensile strength, yield, and embossing properties for license plate manufacture. The Los Angeles Superior Court issued a separate RFQ for 606 wire decking units, 52 by 42 inches with 2,500-pound load capacity per unit. These solicitations reflect commodity procurement by state correctional facilities and county court systems rather than the specialized fastener assemblies the code nominally describes.

Activity under this code is concentrated in the Mountain West and California. The Colorado Department of Corrections appears as a repeat buyer, issuing the two aluminum coil solicitations with bid deadlines of May 18, 2026 (IFB1CFAA20260001791) and May 22, 2026 (IFB1CFAA20260001792, with public bid opening May 26, 2026). The Los Angeles Superior Court posted the pallet decking RFQ with response due May 7, 2026. Neither issuing body identified incumbent vendors in available materials. The Colorado procurements offered a 5% price preference to Service Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses with federal certification; the Los Angeles Court noted no formal set-asides in posted documents. The scope and frequency of recent opportunities suggest this code designation may reflect a tagging error or outdated taxonomy mapping rather than active procurement of inconel riveted tube assemblies under state and local vehicles.
