UNSPSC 31121217: Composite sand machined castings

UNSPSC 31121217 Composite sand machined castings is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local activity under it reflects repair, maintenance, and parts replacement services for industrial pumps rather than the manufacturing or procurement of composite castings themselves. The City of Atlanta Department of Watershed Management posted a multi-step sealed bid solicitation on May 8, 2026 (due May 29, 2026) seeking vendors to provide comprehensive pump repair and parts support across nine pump classifications—vertical turbine, horizontal split case, submersible, centrifugal, vertical chopper, progressing cavity, piston displacement, Watson Marlow, and vacuum and hydraulic units. The scope includes full-service support: procurement, installation, disassembly, inspection, transportation, repair to OEM standards, reassembly, startup, and detailed documentation. Successful vendors 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 training in permit-required confined space entry. All work must comply with OSHA standards, lockout/tagout procedures, manufacturer safety recommendations, and applicable safety codes. Vendors must supply 90 percent of required parts within 24 hours and the remaining 10 percent within 72 hours, provide a one-year warranty on parts and services, and submit itemized annual purchase reports within 15 days of each contract anniversary. Watson Marlow pump work requires manufacturer-certified distributors; Flygt pump work requires Xylem manufacturer-certified distributors.

This code shows limited recent activity in state and local procurement when framed narrowly as composite sand machined castings; the single available opportunity from Atlanta indicates that the code may be mistagged for pump repair and parts services work. Geographic concentration appears limited to Georgia based on available records. The City of Atlanta is conducting a prequalification phase prior to formal Invitation for Bid, with vendor responsibility for all tools, equipment, safety gear, and costs for plant and facility inspections. The City reserves the right to adjust quantities without penalty and is not obligated to award exclusively to a single bidder or commit to a minimum contract amount. Payment terms include a five percent discount for payment within 10 days, otherwise net 30 calendar days. No set-aside designations or incumbent vendors are identified in the available documentation, and no specific award value or budget range is disclosed.
