UNSPSC 73121501: Ferrous alloy production services

UNSPSC 73121501 Ferrous alloy production services, a Commodity code, covers metals collection, recycling, and supply work that state and local governments procure to support waste management operations, facility maintenance, and infrastructure projects. Recent solicitations show that the code captures collection and processing of scrap metals and appliances, supply of finished steel products (pallets, rebar, structural steel), and fabrication of miscellaneous metals for construction. Issuing bodies include county waste management departments, city procurement offices, and county infrastructure programs. Sacramento County Department of Waste Management and Recycling, the City of Fort Worth, Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners, and Solano County have all posted opportunities under this code within the past four months, indicating activity across multiple jurisdictions and use cases—from routine recycling logistics to specialized emergency-response equipment and federally funded flood-protection projects.

Recent opportunities span California, Texas, and Florida. Sacramento County issued a competitive bid (Solicitation 2026GEN0053, due June 9, 2026) for collection and recycling of unprocessed mixed metals and waste appliances from two facilities, with projected tonnages of 10,800 tons in 2024 and 11,775 tons in 2025, priced as a percentage of American Metal Market monthly scrap iron and steel prices. The City of Fort Worth posted an RFP (26-0222, due July 23, 2026) for non-exclusive supply of aluminum, iron, rebar, and steel on an as-needed basis with a 30 percent small business participation goal. Hillsborough County issued a sealed bid (ITB 5-ITB-26-00197, due April 3, 2026) for galvanized finished steel pallets with an estimated two-year value of $70,264.60. Solano County solicited miscellaneous metals fabrication and installation for a federally funded flood-protection project (due March 9, 2026), requiring Davis-Bacon prevailing wage compliance and federal procurement standards. Opportunities reflect both routine supply and specialized infrastructure work, with response deadlines clustered in the second quarter of 2026.
