UNSPSC 31102105: Iron ceramic mold casting

Iron object cast from ceramic molds

UNSPSC 31102105 Iron ceramic mold casting is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity posted under this classification. The single identified opportunity—a May 2026 multi-step sealed bid from the City of Atlanta Department of Watershed Management—solicits pump repair, maintenance, installation, and parts replacement services across nine pump classifications (Vertical Turbine, Horizontal Split Case, Submersible, Centrifugal, Vertical Chopper, Progressing Cavity, Piston Type Positive Displacement, Watson Marlow, and Vacuum and Hydraulic). This work requires vendors to operate or access a functional machine shop, field service equipment, and personnel certified in pump shaft alignment, welding, and machinist work, with training in permit-required confined space entry. The scope includes procurement, disassembly, detailed inspection, transportation, repair to original equipment manufacturer standards, reassembly, startup services, and photographic documentation. 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 comply with OSHA standards, lock-out/tag-out procedures, and all applicable safety codes. The issuing body is a single municipal utility department within a metropolitan area.

The code shows little relevant recent activity grounded in iron ceramic mold casting. The Atlanta pump repair solicitation, due May 29, 2026, targets vendors with comprehensive service capability rather than mold casting supply or fabrication. No dollar value or incumbent vendor name is disclosed in the posting. Geographically, the single opportunity is located in Georgia. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited suggests either a coding error in the state or local system or that this Commodity code does not currently reflect active state and local purchasing patterns in this service line.
