UNSPSC 31351311: Waspalloy riveted tube assemblies

UNSPSC 31351311 Waspalloy riveted tube assemblies is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local solicitation activity, encompasses coiled aluminum and related sheet metal stock used in correctional industries production and facilities operations rather than aerospace or military-grade riveted tube assemblies. State and local governments procuring under this code are primarily purchasing raw or semi-finished aluminum coil material for use in license plate manufacturing, pallet rack components, and similar industrial production. The issuing bodies are state correctional departments and county court systems that operate manufacturing and facilities operations in-house or through correctional industries divisions.

Activity under the code centers in Colorado, where the Colorado Department of Corrections, Colorado Correctional Industries (CCi) division, issued two sequential Invitations for Bid (IFB 2026-0179 variants) in May 2026 for 350,000 pounds of 3105H21 aluminum alloy coil with specified thickness, tensile strength, yield strength, and elongation properties, requiring monthly delivery in approximately three 37,000-pound truckloads to the CCi Tag Plant in Canon City on a firm, per-pound, FOB Destination basis with bid submission by May 18–22, 2026 and virtual bid opening in late May 2026. A secondary May 2026 opportunity from the Superior Court of California, County of Los Angeles, solicited pallet rack wire decking through RFQ via Bonfire with a May 7, 2026 due date, though this item appears peripheral to the code's nominal scope. SDVOSB vendors receive a 5% preference on pricing in the Colorado opportunities. The code shows limited recent activity and geographic spread; no incumbent vendors or budget values are disclosed in available materials.
