UNSPSC 31361409: Stainless steel welded or brazed plate assemblies

UNSPSC 31361409 Stainless steel welded or brazed plate assemblies is a Commodity code. State and local governments procure stainless steel sheet materials and raw metal plate stock under this code to support operational needs across facilities and infrastructure projects. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice has issued multiple solicitations for stainless steel sheets and raw metal materials, including a recent IFB for stainless steel sheet 14 gauge Type 304L conforming to ASTM A240 standards in 4' x 8' dimensions. The code captures raw material procurement by state agencies and departments rather than fabricated assemblies or finished components; vendors supply stock materials that support facility operations, maintenance, and capital projects. Issuing bodies under this code include state departments with operational infrastructure needs, particularly the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, which appears as a repeat buyer for raw metal materials and stainless steel stock.

Recent activity centers in Texas, with the most visible opportunities posted by the Texas Department of Criminal Justice through the Bonfire procurement portal. The TDCJ IFB IW240459 for stainless steel sheets closed January 29, 2026, with two bid amendments clarifying material specifications and dimensions; a later raw materials solicitation IW258604 posted July 14, 2026, with bids due July 28, 2026, addresses sheet metal and metal plate procurement. These Texas opportunities reflect state agency demand for commodity-grade stainless steel and plate materials to support correctional facility operations. The code shows limited recent geographic diversity in the available opportunities; while the source records activity primarily in Texas, the sparse representation of competing jurisdictions suggests either low procurement volume under this code across other states or limited posting visibility in the available data.
