UNSPSC 31121011: Brass v process machined castings

UNSPSC 31121011 Brass v process machined castings is a Commodity code covering cast brass and aluminum components for commemorative, architectural, and water-utility applications. State and local governments use this code to procure machined castings for plaques, signage, and repair parts—work that spans state departments, municipal utilities, and specialized facilities needing precision-cast components. The Texas Department of Public Safety and City of Arlington represent the mix of buyers: state agencies purchasing display and commemorative pieces, and utilities sourcing brass fittings for maintenance and stock replenishment. Specifications often call for secondary finishes (anodized, oxidized, or textured surfaces), custom sizing, and compliance with materials preferences including recycled-content encouragement.

Recent activity is concentrated in Texas. The Texas Department of Public Safety posted an Invitation for Bid (IFB 40526R0025759) on September 25, 2026, for the Legacy Hall Courtyard Display, a three-piece cast-plaque project including a 65-inch diameter cast bronze seal with prismatic detail and two cast aluminum pieces with letter and star components, responses due October 12, 2026. The City of Arlington issued an annual requirements contract solicitation (270041) on September 23, 2026, for brass water repair parts—service line fittings, accessories, and tapping saddles for warehouse stock—with responses due October 22, 2026. Both opportunities specify electronic submission and note strict compliance requirements; Arlington uses Euna Procurement exclusively and will not accept responsibility for bids submitted through other channels.
