UNSPSC 31101712: Bronze permanent mold casting

Bronze object cast from permanent molds

UNSPSC 31101712 Bronze permanent mold casting is a Commodity code that reflects a significant mismatch between its nominal scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The most recent opportunity posted under this code—the City of Atlanta Department of Watershed Management's May 2026 pre-advertisement notice for pump repair and maintenance services—involves no casting work whatsoever. The solicitation covers repair, maintenance, installation, and parts replacement across nine classifications of pumps (vertical turbine, horizontal split case, submersible, centrifugal, vertical chopper, progressing cavity, piston displacement, Watson Marlow, and vacuum/hydraulic), with vendors required to operate functional machine shops, perform OEM-standard repairs, conduct shaft alignment and welding work, and supply parts within 24–72 hours. The lack of casting-specific opportunities in the recent block signals that this code sees little relevant state and local procurement activity in its actual commodity scope.

The single recent opportunity under the code comes from a municipal water authority in Georgia. The City of Atlanta's watershed management division posted an IFB (following a prequalification phase) with a response deadline of May 29, 2026, seeking vendors capable of full-service pump support including procurement, installation, disassembly, inspection, transportation, repair to OEM standards, reassembly, and startup services. No contract value was disclosed. Vendors must own or have full access to a machine shop, provide personnel certified in pump shaft alignment, welding, and machinist work, and hold permit-required confined space entry training; Watson Marlow work must be performed by manufacturer-certified distributors, and Flygt work by Xylem-certified distributors. The solicitation imposes 90/10 parts-availability requirements (90 percent within 24 hours, 10 percent within 72 hours), a one-year warranty, and itemized annual reporting to the Chief Procurement Officer. No set-aside designations were noted. The code does not report activity outside Georgia in the available recent-opportunities block.
