UNSPSC 31101600: Sand castings and casting assemblies

Objects and assemblies formed to or near their desired shape by introducing molten metal into sand molds.

UNSPSC 31101600 Sand castings and casting assemblies is a Class code that shows minimal alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The single recent opportunity in the dataset—Columbus Consolidated Government's stone supply contract (RFB No. 26-0037, due June 17, 2026)—solicits aggregates and graded stone for public works use, not sand castings or metal casting assemblies. The nominal code scope covers manufactured cast products (sand castings, casting assemblies), while the opportunity tags a commodity procurement for raw and processed stone materials (crushed stone, rip-rap, graded aggregate base, screening materials) delivered to job sites. This mismatch suggests the code either captures limited state and local casting-procurement activity or is being misapplied to unrelated stone and aggregate solicitations in practice.

Columbus Consolidated Government in Georgia is the sole issuing body represented in recent opportunities. The contract awards to a Primary and Secondary Contractor (the two lowest responsive bidders) and specifies fixed pricing for an initial two-year term, with optional three additional twelve-month renewals and capped five-percent price escalation thereafter. Vendors must provide general liability ($1 million combined single limit), workers' compensation per Georgia statutory requirements, automobile liability ($1 million), and miscellaneous errors and omissions coverage ($1 million), with the city named as additional insured. E-Verify registration and Georgia Security and Immigration Compliance Act compliance are mandatory. The geographic activity is confined to Georgia based on the single posted opportunity. If actual state and local sand casting or metalworking procurement exists under this code, it does not appear in recent solicitations; firms pursuing this code should verify whether activity reflects genuine casting demand or represents a cataloging misalignment.
