UNSPSC 31361202: Carbon steel bolted plate assemblies

UNSPSC 31361202 Carbon steel bolted plate assemblies is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under it show minimal activity aligned with the code's nominal scope. Of the six opportunities in the source, only one—the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet's RFB for steel and other metals (RFB60526000005042, due April 14, 2026)—involves structural metal supply; the remaining five solicitations tagged to this code actually procure IT infrastructure services, workforce system implementation, municipal IT support, and specialty fabricated steel for correctional facilities and forestry equipment, none of which fit bolted plate assemblies. The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet opportunity does reference steel plates and flat bars as part of a master agreement for fleet vehicle and equipment support, suggesting some demand for structural metal stock among state transportation agencies.

State and local activity under this code appears concentrated in Kentucky and the broader Southeast, with secondary activity in Texas, Illinois, and Georgia. The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet issued two parallel RFBs for steel and other metals (RFB60526000005041 and RFB60526000005042, both due April 14, 2026) establishing master agreements for hot rolled flat bars, rectangle tubes, channels, angles, aluminum sheets, and steel plates with F.O.B. Destination Freight Prepaid pricing and optional one-year renewals through April 30, 2027. The Illinois Department of Corrections solicited raw mild steel sheet metal and tube stock for grill fabrication at Shawnee Correctional Center (due February 11, 2026), and the State of Georgia through Ware County procured finished steel for the Georgia Forestry Commission shop (due February 19, 2026). Issuing bodies remain limited to state departments and divisions—transportation, corrections, and forestry agencies—with no activity from counties, cities, school districts, or transit authorities in the recent window. The code shows sparse current demand and appears misaligned with most opportunities posted under its designation.
