UNSPSC 31361101: Aluminum bonded plate assemblies

UNSPSC 31361101 Aluminum bonded plate assemblies (Commodity) covers raw aluminum materials and fabricated aluminum components that state and local governments procure for infrastructure, signage, vehicle licensing, corrections operations, and facility maintenance. The code sees limited recent activity tied directly to the nominal scope; recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code predominantly request raw aluminum tubing, sheet stock, and sign blanks rather than bonded plate assemblies per se. Issuing bodies include state corrections departments (Texas Department of Criminal Justice), state transportation and education agencies (Texas Education Agency, Indiana Department of Transportation), counties (Orange County Florida, Los Angeles County Superior Court), cities (Midland, Tybee Island, Madison), and specialized state offices (Maine Department of Administrative and Financial Services). Work spans raw material procurement for license plate manufacturing, traffic signage blanks, structural repairs, and general maintenance supply contracting.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas (multiple TDCJ and TEA solicitations), Florida (Orange County, Los Angeles County), Georgia (White County, Tybee Island), Maine, and Wisconsin, with scattered activity in Indiana. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Department of Criminal Justice IFB IW257847 for raw materials—aluminum tubing, due July 24, 2026, through the TDCJ Procurement Portal; Orange County, Florida's five-year IFB Y26-162 for aluminum sign blanks (45 line items, 250–10,000 units per item), closed April 30, 2026, through OpenGov; the State of Maine RFQ 29B 26022400000000000207 for virgin aluminum substrate for motor vehicle license plates (70,000 pounds, Alloy 3003-H12, Gauge 20), closed April 3, 2026, through AdvantageME Vendor Self Service; and the City of Tybee Island ITB 2026-107 for South Annex Building repairs including aluminum standing-seam roofing and box gutters, due May 5, 2026. Several recent postings in the opportunities block address unrelated services (design engineering, outreach programs, building repairs using non-aluminum materials) and carry due dates that have passed, suggesting either misdated or miscoded solicitations with limited current relevance to the code.
