UNSPSC 31121406: Aluminum plaster mold machined castings

UNSPSC 31121406 Aluminum plaster mold machined castings (Commodity) captures state and local procurement of finished aluminum components, though recent activity shows the code applied to traffic and street signage blanks—flat aluminum stock items that have been sheared, punched, and deburred to specification rather than machined castings. Orange County, Florida is the primary recent buyer under this code, soliciting anodized aluminum sign blanks including street name blades, rectangular signs, diamonds, stop signs, yield signs, and specialty signage in various sizes, all manufactured to Aluminum Association specification 5052H38. Scope includes delivery within thirty calendar days of order and all packaging, transportation, and unloading cost absorption by the vendor. Issuing bodies using this code lean toward county purchasing offices procuring operational supplies for public works and traffic engineering divisions.

Orange County, Florida dominates recent activity. The county issued IFB Y26-162 on April 21, 2026 for a five-year requirements contract covering 45 line items with estimated quantities ranging from 250 to 10,000 units per item. The response deadline was April 30, 2026 through the OpenGov e-Procurement Platform. Respondents must provide unit costs for all line items, certificates of insurance with minimum limits of $1,000,000 general and auto liability, E-Verify documentation, and three references for similar projects within ten years. Award will be made on an all-or-none basis to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. Service Disabled Veteran Businesses may receive preference of up to 8% depending on total bid amount. The contract includes Producer Price Index escalation provisions with a maximum annual increase of 4% after the initial one-year period. No budget ceiling appears in the available documentation; the five-year quantities and 45 line items suggest substantial contract value.
