UNSPSC 31101612: Bronze sand casting

Bronze object cast from sand molds

UNSPSC 31101612 Bronze sand casting is a Commodity code covering cast metal products—primarily bronze and aluminum plaques, seals, and decorative castings—that state and local governments procure for commemorative, functional, and infrastructural applications. State and local issuing bodies under this code include state departments, cities, and municipal utilities soliciting cast metal components for display, signage, and repair-parts inventory. The Texas Department of Public Safety and City of Arlington are recent buyers, though the represented opportunities show the code's scope spans both custom commemorative castings and standardized replacement parts in brass or cast metals.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas. The Texas Department of Public Safety posted an IFB (Solicitation Number 40526R0025759) for the Legacy Hall Courtyard Display on September 25, 2026, with responses due October 12, 2026, specifying three cast plaques—a 65-inch diameter cast bronze seal with 3D prismatic star, a cast aluminum piece with 41 solid letters spelling organizational values, and a cast aluminum piece with two 6-inch prismatic stars, all with specifications encouraging recycled materials in manufacture and packaging. The City of Arlington posted an IFB (Solicitation Number 270041) on September 23, 2026, with responses due October 22, 2026, for an annual requirements contract covering brass service line fittings, accessories, and tapping saddles to replenish water warehouse stock. Vendors responding to Texas opportunities must navigate state-specific compliance—including E-Verify, CJIS security, workers' compensation, intellectual property transfer, and seven-year record retention—and submission through state or city platforms (DPS Online Bid Room or Euna Procurement).
