UNSPSC 31361501: Aluminum ultra violet welded plate assemblies

UNSPSC 31361501 Aluminum ultra violet welded plate assemblies is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it show minimal alignment with the code's nominal scope. The source records capture aluminum-related procurements broadly — raw aluminum tubing, aluminum sign blanks, aluminum substrate material for license plates, and aluminum box gutters — but do not consistently reference welded plate assemblies, UV welding, or the fabricated structural assemblies the code nominally describes. Issuing bodies in the recent record include state procurement offices (Maine Department of Administrative and Financial Services, Texas Education Agency, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), a county board of commissioners (White County, Georgia), and a city (Midland, Texas), alongside school districts and special-purpose authorities. However, the work being solicited under this code does not reflect a coherent product category: one opportunity seeks raw aluminum tubing for TDCJ; another targets aluminum sign blanks for Orange County, Florida; a third procures virgin aluminum substrate for Maine's motor vehicle license plate manufacturing; and the remainder of the tagged opportunities address building repairs, engineering services, and educational outreach — categories wholly unrelated to welded plate assemblies.

The code shows low recent activity concentrated in Texas and Florida, with individual opportunities in Maine and Georgia posted between March and July 2026. Representative recent solicitations include the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's IFB IW257847 for raw aluminum tubing due July 24, 2026; Orange County, Florida's IFB Y26-162 for aluminum sign blanks due April 30, 2026; and the State of Maine Department of Administrative and Financial Services' RFQ 29B 26022400000000000207 for virgin aluminum substrate due April 3, 2026. The code's tagging appears to be a classification artifact rather than a meaningful procurement signal — the recent record does not establish demand for aluminum ultra violet welded plate assemblies specifically, and the misalignment between code scope and actual solicitation content suggests limited relevance for vendors focused on that product line.
