UNSPSC 31102011: Brass centrifugal casting

Brass object cast from centrifugal molds

UNSPSC 31102011 Brass centrifugal casting is a Commodity code, though the recent state and local solicitation activity tagged under it reflects pump repair, maintenance, and parts replacement services rather than casting manufacture. The City of Atlanta Department of Watershed Management posted a multi-step sealed bid process in May 2026 seeking qualified vendors to provide comprehensive repair, maintenance, installation, and parts replacement for nine classifications of pumps across its facilities, including vertical turbine, horizontal split case, submersible, centrifugal, vertical chopper, progressing cavity, piston type positive displacement, Watson Marlow, and vacuum and hydraulic pumps. The scope requires full-service support including procurement, installation, disassembly, detailed inspection, transportation, repair to original equipment manufacturer standards, reassembly, startup services, and detailed photographic reporting. Vendors must own or have full access to a functional machine shop, field service equipment, and personnel certified in pump shaft alignment, welding, and machinist work, with confined space entry training. All work must comply with OSHA standards, lock-out/tag-out procedures, and manufacturer safety recommendations. 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. Watson Marlow work requires manufacturer-certified distributors; Flygt work requires Xylem manufacturer-certified distributors.

The code shows minimal recent state and local activity — the City of Atlanta solicitation represents the only documented opportunity in the block provided. The City of Atlanta Department of Watershed Management, a municipal water utility in Fulton County, Georgia, posted this Invitation for Bid with a response deadline of May 29, 2026, through a prequalification phase followed by formal sealed bidding. A Pre-Solicitation Conference was scheduled to provide additional details. The solicitation contains no disclosed award value or budget range, no set-aside designations, and no identified incumbent vendors. Payment terms offer a five percent discount for payment within 10 days, otherwise net 30 calendar days. The mismatch between the code name (brass centrifugal casting) and the actual procurement (pump service and repair) suggests the code may be misapplied to this opportunity in the source system, limiting the relevance of this data point for assessing brass casting demand at the state and local level.
