UNSPSC 31102400: V process castings

Objects formed to or near their desired shape by introducing molten metal into v process molds

UNSPSC 31102400 V process castings is a Class code that in recent state and local procurement activity covers pump repair, maintenance, and parts replacement services across multiple pump classifications, not manufacturing of castings per se. The City of Atlanta Department of Watershed Management's May 2026 solicitation (PE66062NONST2026000000372) illustrates the actual scope: vendors provide full-service support including procurement, installation, disassembly, detailed inspection, transportation, repair to original equipment manufacturer standards, reassembly, startup services, and documentation for nine pump groups ranging from vertical turbine and horizontal split case pumps to progressing cavity, piston displacement, and vacuum/hydraulic pumps. Successful bidders 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 OSHA compliance and permit-required confined space entry training required. The scope includes specific manufacturer requirements — Watson Marlow work must be performed by manufacturer-certified distributors, and Flygt work by Xylem-certified distributors — establishing technology-integration and infrastructure demands that filter the vendor pool significantly. Issuing bodies soliciting under this code include municipal departments responsible for water and wastewater infrastructure; the Atlanta opportunity represents a city-level purchasing pattern that likely reflects activity across similarly sized water and utility authorities.

The most recent documented activity centers on Georgia, with the City of Atlanta's multi-step sealed bid process (prequalification phase followed by Invitation for Bid, response deadline May 29, 2026) as the primary reference point. The solicitation requires vendors to supply 90 percent of required parts within 24 hours and the remaining 10 percent within 72 hours, maintain a one-year warranty on parts and services, and submit itemized annual purchase reports to the Chief Procurement Officer. Payment terms offer a five percent discount for payment within 10 days, otherwise net 30 calendar days. A Pre-Solicitation Conference will be held to provide additional detail. No set-aside designations or incumbent vendors are identified in the available documentation, and the specific award value or budget range is not disclosed. Vendors are responsible for supplying their own tools, equipment, and safety equipment, and may be required to reimburse the City for authorized travel and lodging expenses for onsite facility verification visits within 30 days of invoice receipt.
