UNSPSC 31102901: Aluminum gravity permanent mold casting

Gravity permanent mold casting made of aluminum

UNSPSC 31102901 Aluminum gravity permanent mold casting is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure aluminum sign blanks and related traffic signage products manufactured to specification. The recent activity shows counties soliciting pre-manufactured aluminum signs—street name blades, rectangular signs, diamonds, stop signs, yield signs, and specialty signage—in various sizes, all sheared, punched, deburred, and finished to Aluminum Association specifications. Suppliers are expected to deliver finished goods ready for installation, with compliance to anodized aluminum standards and no exposed raw edges. Orange County, Florida, a county government, is the identified issuing body in the recent record, posting requirements contracts for aluminum sign blanks across 45 line items with five-year quantities ranging from 250 to 10,000 units per item. The code appears to track procurement of manufactured aluminum signage rather than foundry or casting services, despite the abstract code name.

Orange County, Florida drove the recent activity, posting an Invitation for Bid (IFB Y26-162) for aluminum sign blanks due April 30, 2026, with electronic submission through the OpenGov e-Procurement Platform and a question deadline of April 7, 2026. The county requires unit pricing for all 45 line items, current certificates of insurance with minimum limits of $1,000,000 general and automobile liability, E-Verify compliance documentation, and three references for similar projects within the past ten years. Delivery is due within thirty calendar days of order at the Orange County Public Works - Traffic Engineering Division in Orlando, Florida, with F.O.B. point and all transportation costs in the bid price. The contract runs five years with Producer Price Index escalation (maximum 4% annually after year one), and award goes to the lowest responsive and responsible respondent on an all-or-none basis. Service Disabled Veteran Businesses may receive preference up to 8% depending on total bid amount. No specific incumbent vendor is named.
