Market data
What mill prices are doing
Producer price indexes from the Bureau of Labor Statistics track what U.S. mills receive for their metal, with a base period set to 100. They show the direction of prices. The price you pay comes from a supplier's quote.

What you can request
The form takes requests for carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminum, galvanized steel, alloy and tool steel, copper alloys and rebar. It covers plate, sheet, structural shapes, bar, tube, pipe and extrusions, and you can ask for cutting, drilling, bending or mill test reports in the same request. A request can be a single piece for a repair or a standing order for a shop.
Delivery and pickup in the Houston area
Greater Houston spans Harris, Fort Bend, Montgomery, Brazoria and Galveston counties. Give the ZIP code of the shop, plant or job site and not only the city, since a supplier prices delivery from its own yard and the area is wide.
Plants and refineries along the Ship Channel often have their own delivery rules, such as a gate list, safety training for the driver or set receiving hours. Write them in the notes. If the job needs material to a pressure piping or pressure vessel specification, name the specification and ask for mill test reports.
How to write the item list
One line per item, with the grade, the size, the length and the count, gives a supplier what it needs to price the order. These lines show the pattern.
| Item | Example line |
|---|---|
| Wide-flange beam | 12 pcs W8x18 A992 at 20 ft |
| Plate | 2 pcs 1/2 in A36 96 x 240 |
| Square tube | 30 pcs HSS 4 x 4 x 1/4 A500 at 24 ft |
