UNSPSC 31361100: Bonded plate assemblies

UNSPSC 31361100 Bonded plate assemblies, a Class code, encompasses the supply of metal structural components and raw materials including I-beams, metal plates, and fabricated steel products that state and local governments procure for facilities maintenance, infrastructure repair, and asset protection. Recent solicitations show a mix of straightforward materials procurement (bare steel stock and standard structural components) alongside custom steel fabrication services, reflecting the code's broad coverage of both commodity-level metal goods and value-added manufacturing. Issuing bodies soliciting under this code include state agencies (Illinois Department of Agriculture), county governments (Ware County, Georgia on behalf of the Georgia Forestry Commission), municipalities (City of Tucson, City of Philadelphia, Mississippi), and regional workforce-development authorities (Texas Workforce Commission). The City of Tucson represents a notable repeat buyer pursuing comprehensive steel fabrication services for custom doors, cages, anti-vandalism boxes, and safety infrastructure, with HUD Section 3 Program requirements mandating 25% of total labor hours performed by Section 3 Workers.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Illinois, Georgia, Arizona, and Mississippi. Representative opportunities include the Illinois Department of Agriculture's April 2026 Basic Ordering Agreement for eight 4-inch by 7.7-pound by 15-foot I-beams at $375 each and two 4-foot by 8-foot metal plates at $450 each (Solicitation 26406AGRBLDG4B52030, IFB, due April 30, 2026, contract value $3,900); the State of Georgia's February 2026 solicitation for steel stock for the Georgia Forestry Commission shop in Dry Branch (Solicitation 42000GFC0000445, IFB, due February 19, 2026); and the City of Tucson's March 2026 RFP 240080 for steel fabrication services including mobile welding, machining, and metal finishing with a one-year initial term plus four one-year renewal options and Section 3 compliance requirements. Delivery timelines typically range from 30 days to six weeks, and vendors generally must supply clean, rust-free, oil-free materials with transportation included in quoted prices.
