UNSPSC 73181106: Plating services

UNSPSC 73181106 Plating services, a Commodity code, shows a misalignment between its nominal scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The code's title references electroplating and metal-finishing work, but the most recent opportunities posted under this code involve irrigation system installation, stormwater treatment equipment demolition, and HVAC system replacement — none of which involve plating or metal-finishing services. The issuing bodies are municipal and state agencies: the City of DeBary and City of Ocala in Florida, and the State of Georgia Department of Driver Services. No recurring buyers appear across the recent records, and no set-aside designations or disadvantaged-enterprise preferences are documented in the solicitations.

Recent activity is concentrated in Florida and Georgia. The City of DeBary posted an IFB on April 13, 2026, for Rob Sullivan Park irrigation system conversion (bid due April 10, 2015 — a historical date inconsistency in the source) with an estimated project cost of $90,000. The City of Ocala issued an ITB (ENG/260395) on April 13, 2026, for Tuscawilla Alum Treatment System equipment demolition and removal, with bids due April 2, 2026, requiring five years of documented stormwater treatment system demolition experience. The Georgia Department of Driver Services posted two RFQs on February 12, 2026, for HVAC system replacement at customer service centers in Brunswick and Douglas, both due March 3, 2026. Given the absence of metal-finishing or electroplating work in the recent solicitations, this code does not reflect active state and local procurement demand in its nominal commodity area and warrants review for tagging accuracy.
