UNSPSC 31361111: Waspalloy bonded plate assemblies

UNSPSC 31361111 Waspalloy bonded plate assemblies, a Commodity code, shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The only relevant recent opportunity involves coiled aluminum alloy for license plate manufacturing—a commodity far removed from the waspalloy bonded assemblies the code nominally describes. The Colorado Department of Corrections, through its Colorado Correctional Industries division, issued two substantially identical Invitations for Bid in May 2026 for 350,000 pounds of 3105H21 aluminum alloy coil (21-gauge thickness, 11.98 to 12.00 inches wide) with specific mechanical properties and surface treatment requirements for use at the CCi Tag Plant in Canon City. Both bids required monthly delivery in three truckloads, FOB Destination freight prepaid, with material pretreated with Bonderite M-CR 1430 C and finished per ASTM B-449-Class 2 conversion coating standards. A third recent opportunity—the Los Angeles Superior Court's solicitation for 606 pallet rack wire decking units due May 7, 2026—bears no relationship to either waspalloy bonded plate assemblies or the aluminum-coil procurement and represents misclassification under this code.

The code's recent activity is confined to Colorado, with the Colorado Department of Corrections as the sole issuing body soliciting under it. The two Colorado IFBs (posted May 5 and May 19, 2026) had response deadlines of May 18 and May 22, 2026 respectively, with virtual public bid openings scheduled via Google Meet and anticipated Intent to Award dates of May 21 and May 27, 2026. Bidders were required to submit pricing on a per-pound basis through bidnetdirect.com, provide standard exhibits including W-9 and vendor disclosure statements, meet Colorado Secretary of State good-standing requirements, carry specified insurance, and undergo criminal background checks and facility security compliance if awarded. Service Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses received a 5% preference on quoted pricing. No contract value or budget range was disclosed, and no incumbent vendors were identified. The code shows no meaningful recent procurement activity outside Colorado and little alignment with its stated commodity definition.
