UNSPSC 31102103: Steel ceramic mold casting

Steel object cast from ceramic molds

UNSPSC 31102103 Steel ceramic mold casting (Commodity) shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The single recent opportunity posted under this code — the City of Atlanta Department of Watershed Management's May 2026 IFB for pump repair and maintenance services — involves no steel ceramic mold casting work whatsoever. The solicitation covers nine classifications of pump repair, parts replacement, machine shop services, field installation, and OEM-standard reassembly across vertical turbine, horizontal split case, submersible, centrifugal, chopper, progressing cavity, piston-type positive displacement, Watson Marlow, and vacuum and hydraulic pump types. The mismatch between the code and the actual work being bought suggests either a tagging error or that steel ceramic mold casting does not currently drive state and local demand in this dataset.

The opportunity identified is the City of Atlanta Department of Watershed Management (Fulton County, Georgia), which released a pre-advertisement notice on May 8, 2026 with an IFB response deadline of May 29, 2026. The contract requires vendors to operate a functional machine shop, hold OEM certifications (particularly for Watson Marlow and Xylem Flygt pumps), and demonstrate personnel certified in pump shaft alignment, welding, machinist work, and confined space entry. All work must meet OSHA standards and manufacturer safety recommendations, with parts-delivery requirements of 90 percent within 24 hours and 10 percent within 72 hours, plus a one-year warranty on parts and services. A prequalification phase precedes formal bidding. No contract value, set-aside designations, or repeat-buyer pattern emerges from the available recent-opportunities block for this code.
