UNSPSC 31361500: Ultra violet welded UV plate assemblies

UNSPSC 31361500 Ultra violet welded UV plate assemblies, a Class code, covers the procurement of specialized fabricated metal components and assemblies, though recent state and local opportunities show minimal activity directly aligned with the code's nominal scope. The Colorado Department of Corrections, through its Correctional Industries division, has posted two nearly identical IFBs for coiled aluminum alloy (3105H21, 21-gauge, 11.98–12.00 inches wide) to support license plate production at the Canon City Tag Plant; this represents manufacturing feed stock and semi-finished goods rather than finished UV-welded plate assemblies. The Los Angeles Superior Court's concurrent RFQ for pallet rack wire decking is wholly unrelated to the code's stated product category. State and local purchasing under this code appears to be driven by niche industrial and correctional operations rather than broad government demand across multiple issuing bodies.

Colorado is the only state showing material recent activity under this code. The Colorado Department of Corrections issued IFB 2026-0179 (posted May 5, 2026, response due May 18, 2026, with bid opening May 19) and IFB1CFAA20260001792 (posted May 19, 2026, response due May 22, 2026) seeking 350,000 pounds of coiled aluminum in monthly deliveries of three truckloads, with material to be pretreated per Bonderite M-CR 1430 C and conversion coated per ASTM B-449-Class 2 to 35 mg/sq. ft., packaged on 20-inch diameter cores not exceeding 45 inches outside diameter and 1,500 pounds per coil. Bidders must submit per-pound pricing through bidnetdirect.com; Service Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses receive a 5% price preference. No incumbent vendor is named, and no contract value is disclosed. Vendors must complete background checks and security training prior to facility access. The code shows no recent opportunities beyond these two Colorado solicitations and the unrelated Los Angeles Superior Court decking bid, signaling limited current market activity in this commodity segment.
