UNSPSC 31361505: Low alloy steel ultra violet welded plate assemblies

UNSPSC 31361505 Low alloy steel ultra violet welded plate assemblies is a Commodity code. The recent opportunities posted under this code show substantial mismatch between the code's nominal scope and what state and local governments are actually soliciting. Of the six recent opportunities tagged to this code, only one—the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet's steel and metals master agreements—involves raw metal materials procurement aligned with the code's product description. The remaining five opportunities involve IT infrastructure modernization (Texas Workforce Commission), municipal IT services (City of Irving), and institutional steel fabrication components (Illinois Department of Corrections and Georgia Forestry Commission), none of which constitutes welded plate assemblies as the code names them. The code shows limited genuine activity in its stated commodity and does not reflect a sustained procurement stream for the product type.

The single relevant recent opportunity is the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet Division of Purchases RFB 60526000005042 and RFB 60526000005041, posted on April 7 and March 31, 2026 respectively, both due April 14, 2026, establishing master agreements for supply of steel and other metals to support fleet vehicles and equipment. The Kentucky solicitations require vendors to submit product lists detailing hot rolled flat bars, rectangle tubes, channels, angles, aluminum sheets, and steel plates in specified dimensions, with pricing quoted F.O.B. Destination Freight Prepaid and Allowed and delivery costs per mile. Evaluation uses a best-value approach on pass/fail criteria for product completeness and delivery cost competitiveness, with the initial contract period running through April 30, 2027, followed by four optional one-year renewals. Commercial General Liability Insurance of at least $1,000,000 per occurrence is required. No set-asides or incumbent vendors are identified. Business development professionals should treat this code as showing low relevant activity for procurement in its stated commodity and verify coding accuracy with issuing bodies before pursuing opportunities posted here.
