UNSPSC 31102010: Copper centrifugal casting

Copper object cast from centrifugal molds

UNSPSC 31102010 Copper centrifugal casting is a Commodity code that in practice encompasses pump repair, maintenance, and parts replacement services across multiple pump classifications used by municipal water and wastewater systems. The City of Atlanta Department of Watershed Management's May 2026 pre-advertisement notice for repair and parts services for nine pump groups—including centrifugal, vertical turbine, horizontal split case, submersible, and specialty pump types—illustrates the actual scope of work: vendors provide full-service support covering procurement, installation, disassembly, inspection to OEM standards, transportation, repair, reassembly, startup, and detailed reporting. Issuing bodies under this code include municipal water and wastewater departments operating centralized procurement processes for equipment maintenance. Successful vendors must own or have full access to functional machine shops, field service equipment, personnel certified in pump shaft alignment and welding, and staff trained in permit-required confined space entry; all work must comply with OSHA standards, lock out/tag out procedures, and manufacturer safety requirements. 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 submit itemized annual purchase reports.

The City of Atlanta Department of Watershed Management posted solicitation PE66062NONST2026000000372 on May 8, 2026, with a May 29, 2026 response deadline for its multi-step sealed bid process beginning with prequalification, followed by a formal Invitation for Bid. The solicitation does not disclose an award value or budget range. Specific manufacturer partnerships—Watson Marlow pumps requiring manufacturer-certified distributors and Flygt pumps requiring Xylem-certified distributors—establish technology-specific infrastructure requirements. Payment terms include a five percent discount for payment within 10 days, otherwise net 30 calendar days, with vendors responsible for their own tools, equipment, safety gear, and inspection costs.
