UNSPSC 31101706: Aluminum permanent mold casting

Aluminum object cast from permanent molds

UNSPSC 31101706 Aluminum permanent mold casting is a Commodity code that in recent state and local procurement shows little relevance to its nominal scope. The City of Atlanta Department of Watershed Management's May 2026 pre-advertisement for pump repair and maintenance services — the sole recent opportunity tagged to this code — solicits comprehensive full-service support for nine classifications of industrial pumps, including vertical turbine, horizontal split case, submersible, centrifugal, vertical chopper, progressing cavity, piston-type positive displacement, Watson Marlow, and vacuum and hydraulic pump groups. The work encompasses procurement, installation, disassembly, detailed inspection, transportation, repair to OEM standards, reassembly, startup services, and photographic documentation. Vendors must own or have full access to a functional machine shop, field service equipment, and certified personnel in pump shaft alignment, welding, and machinist work, with training in permit-required confined space entry. All work must comply with OSHA standards, lock out/tag out procedures, and applicable safety codes. Vendors must supply 90 percent of required parts within 24 hours and the remaining 10 percent within 72 hours, provide a one-year warranty on parts and services, and submit itemized annual purchase reports to the Chief Procurement Officer within 15 days of contract anniversary. Watson Marlow work requires manufacturer-certified distributors, and Flygt pump work requires Xylem manufacturer-certified distributors. The code shows minimal recent activity and appears misaligned with its abstract aluminum casting category definition.

The City of Atlanta Department of Watershed Management in Georgia is the sole issuing body visible in recent opportunities under this code. The multi-step sealed bid process includes a prequalification phase followed by an Invitation for Bid with a response deadline of May 29, 2026. Payment terms offer a five percent discount if invoices are paid within 10 days, otherwise net 30 calendar days. No specific award value or budget range is disclosed. Vendors must provide their own tools, equipment, and safety equipment, with all plant and facility inspection costs borne by the vendor; vendors may be required to reimburse the City for authorized travel and lodging expenses within 30 days of invoice receipt for onsite facility verification visits. The solicitation indicates no set-aside designations or disadvantaged enterprise restrictions and reserves the right to increase or decrease quantities without penalty and to award to multiple bidders or none exclusively.
