UNSPSC 31102405: Iron v process casting

Iron object cast from v process molds

UNSPSC 31102405 Iron v process casting (Commodity) encompasses pump repair, maintenance, installation, and parts replacement services for municipal water and wastewater systems—not ferrous metal casting in the traditional sense. State and local utilities classify these services under this code when sourcing comprehensive pump support contracts that include disassembly, inspection, OEM-standard repair, reassembly, and startup work across multiple pump types. The issuing bodies soliciting under this code are municipal utility departments, particularly water and wastewater authorities managing distributed infrastructure with significant rotating equipment fleets. Work scope includes full-service pump servicing with vendor-owned or vendor-accessed machine shops, certified personnel trained in shaft alignment, welding, and machinist work, parts procurement within defined timeframes (90 percent within 24 hours, remainder within 72 hours), warranty obligations, and compliance with OSHA, lockout/tagout, and confined-space-entry protocols. Vendors must supply their own tools, field service equipment, and safety equipment, and absorb costs for facility inspections and authorized travel.

The City of Atlanta Department of Watershed Management posted a Pre-Advertisement Notice (Solicitation PE66062NONST2026000000372) in May 2026 for pump repair and parts services covering nine pump classifications—Vertical Turbine, Horizontal Split Case, Submersible, Centrifugal, Vertical Chopper, Progressing Cavity, Piston Type Positive Displacement, Watson Marlow, and Vacuum and Hydraulic Pumps. The notice indicates a multi-step sealed bid process with a prequalification phase followed by an Invitation for Bid (IFB), with a May 29, 2026 submission deadline; a Pre-Solicitation Conference will precede the formal IFB. Specific award value was not disclosed. This solicitation represents one of the few recent state and local opportunities tagged to this code, suggesting limited activity. Georgia currently shows the primary geographic footprint for documented pump-services procurement under this commodity code.
