UNSPSC 31101707: Magnesium permanent mold casting

Magnesium object cast from permanent molds

UNSPSC 31101707 Magnesium permanent mold casting is a Commodity code that shows minimal recent alignment with state and local procurement activity. The single posted opportunity from the City of Atlanta Department of Watershed Management (May 8, 2026) targets pump repair, maintenance, installation, and parts replacement services across nine pump classifications—Vertical Turbine, Horizontal Split Case, Submersible, Centrifugal, Vertical Chopper, Progressing Cavity, Piston Type Positive Displacement, Watson Marlow, and Vacuum and Hydraulic pumps—rather than magnesium casting procurement. The scope requires vendors to own or access a functional machine shop, field service equipment, and personnel certified in pump shaft alignment, welding, and machinist work, with full-service support including procurement, disassembly, detailed inspection, transportation, repair to OEM standards, reassembly, and startup services. Vendors must supply 90 percent of required parts within 24 hours and the remaining 10 percent within 72 hours, provide one-year warranties on parts and services, and comply with OSHA standards, lock-out/tag-out procedures, and all applicable safety codes. The solicitation does not indicate set-aside designations or incumbent vendors.

The Atlanta opportunity, issued as a pre-advertisement notice with an IFB to follow, represents the only recent state and local activity tagged to this code. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope (magnesium casting) and the work actually being solicited (pump repair and field services) suggests that either the code was misapplied to the opportunity or this Commodity code sees little active procurement in the state and local market. Firms pursuing magnesium casting work should verify current purchasing patterns independently rather than rely on recent opportunities under this code designation.
