UNSPSC 31361705: Low alloy steel riveted plate assemblies

UNSPSC 31361705 Low alloy steel riveted plate assemblies is a Commodity code. State and local governments procure this code infrequently and in highly specialized contexts; recent opportunities show little activity directly aligned with the code's nominal scope of riveted plate assemblies. Instead, the code appears to tag broader raw metal materials and steel stock procurement when jurisdictions lack more granular taxonomy options. The solicitations posted under this code reflect demand for raw steel sheets, tubes, rods, and fabricated metal components to support correctional facility operations, transportation fleet maintenance, and equipment manufacturing rather than finished riveted assemblies. Issuing bodies include state departments of corrections and transportation, county purchasing offices acting on behalf of state agencies, and municipalities—a mix typical of facilities-and-maintenance procurement across state and local government.

Activity concentrates in the South, with recent opportunities from Kentucky (two Transportation Cabinet RFBs for fleet metals support, posted March 31 and April 7, 2026, due April 14), Georgia (Ware County on behalf of the Georgia Forestry Commission, posted February 12, due February 19), and Illinois (Department of Corrections at Shawnee Correctional Center, posted February 3, due February 11). The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet solicitations (RFB60526000005041 and RFB60526000005042) exemplify the code's actual use: master agreements for hot-rolled flat bars, rectangle tubes, channels, angles, aluminum sheets, and steel plates in specified dimensions, quoted F.O.B. Destination Freight Prepaid, with initial contract terms through April 30, 2027, and four optional one-year renewals. The Illinois Department of Corrections opportunity (26422DNRLNDMGB50988) called for mild steel sheets, tubes, and rods with fabricated components (grates, handles, legs, base plates) for grill manufacturing, due February 11. Neither solicitation specified set-asides or budget ranges; awards were to be made on best-value or competitive-quote basis among qualified vendors meeting insurance and submission requirements.
