UNSPSC 31101611: Brass sand casting

Brass object cast from sand molds

UNSPSC 31101611 Brass sand casting is a Commodity code that captures cast brass and aluminum components, plaques, and water system repair parts that state and local governments procure for infrastructure, commemorative, and maintenance applications. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers sourcing cast bronze and aluminum seals, display plaques with custom finishes, and brass service line fittings and accessories for water distribution systems. Issuing bodies include state departments of public safety, city water utilities, and municipal procurement offices, each managing distinct end uses — ceremonial or heritage displays requiring precision casting and finish work, and routine warehouse stock replenishment for field repairs.

The Texas Department of Public Safety and the City of Arlington represent the recent activity under this code. Texas DPS issued an Invitation for Bid (solicitation 40526R0025759, due October 12, 2026) for the Legacy Hall Courtyard Display, specifying three cast plaques including a 65-inch diameter cast bronze seal with 3D prismatic star, dark oxide finish, and cast aluminum letter assemblies, with lump-sum pricing covering design, materials, labor, and installation. The City of Arlington issued an IFB (solicitation 270041, due October 22, 2026) for an annual requirements contract covering brass service line fittings, accessories, and tapping saddles for water warehouse stock. Both opportunities are in Texas; the geographic concentration and issuing-body diversity suggest this code sees active state and local procurement but remains narrowly deployed relative to broader casting categories.
