UNSPSC 73181107: Zinc alloy barrel plating service

Procured zinc plating services using barrel plating methods

UNSPSC 73181107 Zinc alloy barrel plating service, a Commodity code, shows limited alignment between its nominal scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The two most recent opportunities posted under this code involve park infrastructure projects—irrigation system improvements and stormwater treatment equipment demolition—neither of which involves zinc alloy plating work. The irrigation project, solicited by the City of DeBary, Florida through a competitive bid process, centers on converting an existing irrigation system to a Hunter controller platform with associated piping and components; the stormwater project, solicited by the City of Ocala acting through Marion County via ITB, requires demolition and removal of an alum treatment system at Tuscawilla Park. Both are civil infrastructure work substantially unrelated to metal finishing or plating services, suggesting either a data classification error or that the code does not currently reflect active state and local demand for zinc alloy barrel plating.

Recent activity is limited to Florida jurisdictions. The City of DeBary's Rob Sullivan Park Irrigation Improvements (Bid 03-15) carried an engineer's estimate of $90,000 and required completion within 45 calendar days, with a mandatory pre-bid conference held on March 25, 2015, and bids due April 10, 2015. The City of Ocala's Tuscawilla Alum Treatment System Removal (ITB ENG/260395) offered a non-mandatory pre-bid meeting and site visit on March 17, 2026, with bids due April 2, 2026, and required five years of documented stormwater equipment demolition experience. No recent opportunities soliciting zinc alloy barrel plating services appear in the source material, limiting ability to characterize active issuing-body or geographic patterns under this code.
