UNSPSC 31111603: Brass impact extrusions

UNSPSC 31111603 Brass impact extrusions, a Commodity code, represents fabricated brass components produced through impact extrusion processes — a metalworking technique that shapes brass stock under high-pressure impact to form complex geometries in a single operation. State and local governments procure these components as finished parts or semi-finished stock for integration into larger mechanical assemblies, plumbing fixtures, electrical connectors, automotive subsystems, and industrial equipment. The code captures both solid brass extrusions and hollow forms created by the impact method, where material is forced into dies to achieve dimensional precision and surface finish without secondary machining. Issuing bodies soliciting under this code span state purchasing departments, county maintenance and operations offices, municipal utilities, and independent school districts that source components for capital projects, infrastructure repair, and equipment assembly.

The recent-opportunities block contains no posted state and local procurement records under this code, indicating minimal or no current solicitation activity for brass impact extrusions at the state and local level as of the source date. This silence may reflect that such components are typically purchased as subordinate line items within larger assemblies or finished equipment procurements rather than as standalone commodity buys, or that state and local demand for impact-extruded brass parts is currently being met through existing supplier relationships or different UNSPSC classifications. Without active RFP, RFQ, IFB, or ITB records, no geographic concentration or representative opportunities can be identified.
