UNSPSC 73181108: Tin plating service

Application of tin based coatings to parts

UNSPSC 73181108 Tin plating service (Commodity) shows no recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The four most recent opportunities posted under this code—two irrigation system installations and replacements in Florida, and two HVAC system replacements in Georgia—are unrelated to tin plating services. The City of DeBary, Florida posted an IFB on April 13, 2026, for Rob Sullivan Park irrigation system improvements (due April 10, 2015, with an estimated project cost of $90,000), and the City of Ocala, Florida issued an ITB on April 13, 2026, for demolition and removal of stormwater treatment equipment (due April 2, 2026). The Georgia Department of Driver Services posted two eRFQs on February 12, 2026, for HVAC system replacements at customer service centers in Brunswick and Douglas (both due March 3, 2026).

This code appears to be misclassified in state and local procurement systems, or the opportunities have been tagged incorrectly. The mismatch between the Commodity code's industrial metal-finishing scope and the actual work being solicited—general construction, demolition, and HVAC services—suggests that firms pursuing tin plating contracts should not rely on this code's recent activity as a market indicator. Bidders interested in metal-finishing opportunities should verify the correct UNSPSC classification through their target jurisdictions' procurement portals rather than monitor this code.
