UNSPSC 31101817: Ductile iron shell mold casting

Ductile iron object cast from shell molds

UNSPSC 31101817 Ductile iron shell mold casting is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local activity tagged under it centers on pump repair, maintenance, and parts services rather than casting procurement. The City of Atlanta Department of Watershed Management posted a Pre-Advertisement Notice in May 2026 for multi-step sealed bid procurement of comprehensive repair, maintenance, installation, and parts replacement services for nine classifications of pumps—including vertical turbine, horizontal split case, submersible, centrifugal, vertical chopper, progressing cavity, piston-type positive displacement, Watson Marlow, and vacuum and hydraulic pumps. Vendors must demonstrate full-service capability including disassembly, detailed inspection, repair to OEM standards, reassembly, startup, and photographic documentation; own or access a functional machine shop with field service equipment; and maintain personnel certified in pump shaft alignment, welding, machinist work, and permit-required confined space entry. The contract requires 90 percent of parts supplied within 24 hours and the remainder within 72 hours, a one-year warranty on parts and services, and compliance with OSHA standards, lock-out/tag-out procedures, and all applicable safety codes.

The recent opportunity appears concentrated in Georgia, with the City of Atlanta as the issuing body. The City posted the Pre-Advertisement Notice on May 8, 2026, with a prequalification deadline of May 29, 2026, followed by a formal Invitation for Bid. Watson Marlow pump work must be performed by manufacturer-certified distributors, and Flygt pump work by Xylem manufacturer-certified distributors. Vendors may use approved subcontractors but remain solely responsible for all work. The City reserves the right to adjust quantities without penalty and is under no obligation to award exclusively to a single bidder or commit to a minimum contract amount. No specific award value or budget range is disclosed. A Pre-Solicitation Conference will be held to provide additional details prior to the formal IFB phase.
