UNSPSC 31351402: Carbon steel bonded tube assemblies

UNSPSC 31351402 Carbon steel bonded tube assemblies is a Commodity code covering raw steel stock and fabricated steel components for state and local operations, though recent solicitations show inconsistent alignment with the code's nominal scope. State and local governments use this code to procure steel sheet metal, tube stock, rod, and related raw materials for fabrication, maintenance, and equipment manufacturing across various departments and agencies. The issuing bodies include state transportation departments, correctional facilities, state forestry operations, and municipal governments, with particular repeat activity from Kentucky's transportation cabinet and state-level industrial procurement offices.

Recent opportunities posted between February and June 2026 show activity concentrated in Kentucky and Illinois, with additional solicitations from Georgia and Texas. The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet issued two RFBs (RFB60526000005041 and RFB60526000005042, both due April 14, 2026) establishing master agreements for steel and other metals supply to support vehicle fleet and equipment fabrication, requiring comprehensive product catalogs and pricing on an F.O.B. Destination basis with delivery cost per mile. The Illinois Department of Corrections posted a procurement (26422DNRLNDMGB50988, due February 11, 2026) for specific raw steel stock and fabricated components—sheet metal, tubing, rod, springs, and finished grates and handles—to support grill manufacturing at Shawnee Correctional Center in Vienna. The State of Georgia through Ware County solicited steel for the Georgia Forestry Commission shop (42000GFC0000445, due February 19, 2026), requiring delivery within four weeks and specification of pricing per foot, square foot, or piece. The broader category shows limited true tube-assembly activity; most recent postings tag steel stock, sheet metal, and raw fabrication materials rather than finished bonded assemblies, suggesting either low current demand for completed tube assemblies or ongoing classification inconsistency in state procurement systems.
