UNSPSC 31121520: Ductile iron shell mold machined casting

Ductile iron object cast from shell molds that has been machined

UNSPSC 31121520 Ductile iron shell mold machined casting is a Commodity code that covers ductile iron pipe components, fittings, and related parts sourced by state and local water utilities and public works departments. State and local governments procure under this code primarily large-diameter ductile iron pipe sections, gland retainers, tapping sleeves, saddles, spools, and repair parts used in water distribution infrastructure. The issuing bodies are predominantly county water resource departments and municipal public works agencies, with Gwinnett County, Georgia appearing as a repeat buyer across multiple informal written quotations (IWQs) since May 2026 and the City of Dallas and City of Southlake, Texas establishing longer-term supply agreements.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Texas. Gwinnett County Department of Water Resources has posted five separate IWQs since May 2026 for ductile iron parts and spools—including IWQ 130376 for ductile iron spools (posted May 13, 2026, due May 18, 2026), IWQ 131138 for ductile iron repair parts (posted May 13, 2026, due May 18, 2026), IWQ 137554 for large diameter ductile parts (posted September 2, 2026, due September 8, 2026), and IWQ 138607 for large diameter ductile pipe parts (posted September 14 and 16, 2026, due September 18, 2026). The City of Dallas issued an IFB for a five-year ID/IQ master agreement for ductile iron pipe to support Water Utilities (posted May 14, 2026, due June 12, 2026), and the City of Southlake sought utility parts and supplies on an RFP basis with awards anticipated to multiple vendors (posted July 24, 2026, due August 21, 2026). Gwinnett County IWQs typically specify FOB Destination Prepaid and Allowed delivery to the DWR Central Facility in Lawrenceville, Georgia, require unit pricing inclusive of delivery costs to two decimal places, demand three project references and non-collusion certifications, and reserve the right to split awards or issue single-vendor contracts.
