UNSPSC 31361702: Carbon steel riveted plate assemblies

UNSPSC 31361702 Carbon steel riveted plate assemblies (Commodity) shows minimal alignment with recent state and local solicitation activity. The code nominally describes fabricated carbon steel riveted assemblies, yet the recent opportunities posted under this code predominantly solicit raw metals, IT infrastructure services, and facility maintenance materials that bear no relationship to riveted plate assemblies. The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet issued two RFBs in March and April 2026 to establish master agreements for supply of steel and other metals (hot rolled flat bars, rectangle tubes, channels, angles, aluminum sheets, and steel plates in specified dimensions) for fleet maintenance and equipment support, and the Georgia Forestry Commission solicited steel per specific dimensions for its Dry Branch shop. The Illinois Department of Corrections posted a procurement on February 3, 2026, for raw mild steel sheets, tubes, rods, and fabricated components to support grill manufacturing at Shawnee Correctional Center. These opportunities demonstrate that state and local buyers tagged under this code are actually purchasing raw stock metals and semi-finished components in bulk form, not finished riveted plate assemblies. The issuing bodies span state transportation departments, state corrections facilities, and city and county public-works functions.

Activity is concentrated in the South and Midwest, with Kentucky (two master agreements), Illinois, and Georgia posting the most recent opportunities. The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet RFBs (RFB60526000005042 and RFB60526000005041, both due April 14, 2026) establish requirements-based master agreements running through April 30, 2027, with four optional one-year renewals; vendors must quote F.O.B. Destination Freight Prepaid with delivery-cost-per-mile pricing and maintain $1,000,000 Commercial General Liability Insurance. The Illinois Department of Corrections solicitation (26422DNRLNDMGB50988, due February 11, 2026) specified detailed bills of materials for mild steel sheets, tubes, and rods with delivery to Vienna; the Georgia Forestry Commission bid (42000GFC0000445, due February 19, 2026) required clean, oil-free, rust-free steel delivery within four weeks of award to Dry Branch. No budget values, incumbent vendors, or set-aside designations appear in the available documentation. The code shows little relevant recent activity in its stated commodity scope; business development professionals should verify whether their riveted plate assembly offering aligns with the raw-metals and stock-material focus actually driving procurement under this classification.
