UNSPSC 31121411: Brass plaster mold machined castings

UNSPSC 31121411 Brass plaster mold machined castings is a Commodity code covering fabricated metal components and assemblies for water utility infrastructure — specifically, pipe repair clamps and curb box assemblies procured by municipal water departments. The scope of work under this code, as demonstrated by recent state and local solicitations, includes cast-iron and stainless-steel repair and access components for potable water distribution systems. The City of Madison Water Utility has issued concurrent RFQs for both pipe repair clamps (stainless steel, full-circle, 4-inch to 12-inch diameter) and curb boxes (cast-iron assemblies with brass screws, tar coating, and screw-type shafts). Issuing bodies soliciting under this code are municipal water utilities and their parent finance or purchasing departments, which procure these items through straightforward RFQ processes with firm pricing requirements and local vendor preferences.

Activity under this code concentrates in Wisconsin, with the City of Madison issuing two separate RFQs on March 3, 2026, both due March 17, 2026, at 2:00 PM CST. The pipe repair clamps RFQ (Solicitation 551802026BG) covers 175 units across eleven line items, with acceptable manufacturers including Smith-Blair, Mueller, ROMAC, Ford, Cascade, Hymax, A.Y. McDonald, and JCM. The curb boxes RFQ (Solicitation 5517, posted March 3, 2026) calls for 150 complete assemblies plus 350 component pieces (dust caps, extensions, lids, and rods), with Bingham & Taylor model 94F specified as the acceptable manufacturer. Both solicitations require FOB delivery to 110 South Paterson Street in Madison and base evaluation on cost, quality, warranty, delivery, and past performance, with no explicit set-aside or disadvantaged-enterprise restrictions but a registered local vendor preference available to both respondents.
