UNSPSC 31361203: Hastalloy X bolted plate assemblies

UNSPSC 31361203 Hastalloy X bolted plate assemblies is a Commodity code that in recent state and local procurement activity covers coiled aluminum alloy stock for specialized industrial applications. The Colorado Department of Corrections, Colorado Correctional Industries division, has posted two nearly identical Invitations for Bid (IFBs) in May 2026 seeking 350,000 pounds of coiled aluminum alloy type 3105H21 in 21-gauge thickness for license plate production at its Canon City tag plant. The aluminum must meet specific mechanical properties—ultimate tensile strength of 17,500 to 20,500 PSI, minimum yield strength of 13,000 to 18,000 PSI, and minimum elongation of 16 percent—and must withstand embossing without breaking or tearing. Material must be pretreated with Bonderite M-CR 1430 C and finished with a conversion coating per ASTM B-449-Class 2 specifications, wound on 20-inch diameter cores with maximum outside diameters of 45 inches and individual coil weights not exceeding 1,500 pounds. Delivery occurs in monthly installments of approximately 37,000 pounds per truckload on a freight prepaid, FOB Destination basis, with receiving limited to Monday through Thursday. Service Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses receive a 5 percent preference on pricing.

The code shows recent activity concentrated in Colorado, with the Department of Corrections as the repeat buyer. The two substantially identical IFBs posted May 5 and May 19, 2026 had bid submission deadlines of May 18 and May 23, 2026 respectively, with virtual public bid openings scheduled via Google Meet. Bidders must submit pricing on a per-pound basis through bidnetdirect.com and complete multiple required exhibits including Offeror Information, W-9, Price Proposal, and Offeror Disclosure Statement. Prior to purchase order execution, awarded vendors must demonstrate good standing with the Colorado Secretary of State, provide proof of required insurance including Workers' Compensation and General Liability with $1 million per occurrence minimum, and comply with Colorado Department of Corrections administrative and security requirements. The code shows limited recent activity overall; a single Los Angeles Superior Court solicitation for pallet rack wire decking posted in April 2026 appears to be tagged with this code but involves shelf and storage infrastructure rather than metal stock or plate assemblies, indicating possible classification misalignment.
