UNSPSC 73181111: Precious metals plating service

Use of precious metals (platinum, gold, silver, etc.) to coat parts using various coating processes

UNSPSC 73181111 Precious metals plating service is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The two most recent opportunities posted to this code — Rob Sullivan Park Irrigation Improvements (City of DeBary, Florida, IFB, April 10, 2015 response date) and Tuscawilla Alum Treatment System Removal (City of Ocala, Florida, ITB, April 2, 2026 response date) — involve irrigation system installation and stormwater equipment demolition respectively, neither of which aligns with precious metals plating work. The code appears to be a misclassification in the underlying procurement records; the opportunities are construction and demolition services, not metal finishing or plating operations.

State and local procurement activity under this code does not reflect work actually matching the UNSPSC definition. Business development professionals should verify whether the code is being used accurately by Florida municipalities or whether a different code tier or commodity better captures the actual scope of work their firm pursues.
