UNSPSC 73121803: Structural clay products manufacturing services

UNSPSC 73121803 Structural clay products manufacturing services is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure pottery supplies and related maintenance services for recreation and education programs. The City of Tucson Parks and Recreation Department's recent RFQ No. 226100 illustrates the scope: vendors supply clay materials (including Bmix, Black Mountain, and Half/Half blends), glazes, colorants, Mason Stains, dry glazes, and stroke and coat glazes, along with maintenance services for electric and gas kilns and pottery wheels at multiple recreation centers. The code captures both consumable supplies and equipment maintenance work that support public arts and recreation activities. Issuing bodies under this code include municipal parks and recreation departments; the recent record shows activity at the city level, though the broader code may extend to school districts and special-purpose arts or recreation districts seeking similar pottery program support.

The City of Tucson Parks and Recreation Department posted RFQ No. 226100 on June 28, 2022, with proposals due July 13, 2022, at 2:00 pm, for an initial one-year contract term with four optional renewals. The solicitation permitted award by individual line item, group of line items, or in total at the city's discretion. No specific budget was stated in available documents, though the detailed pricing schedule reflects a significant annual investment in pottery supplies and equipment maintenance. The record shows Arizona activity under this code; recent opportunities in other states or jurisdictions are not documented in the available source material.
