UNSPSC 31121811: Brass ceramic mold machined castings

UNSPSC 31121811 Brass ceramic mold machined castings is a Commodity code tracking cast brass and aluminum components, including decorative and functional plaques, seals, and water system repair parts that state and local governments source for facility displays, infrastructure maintenance, and capital projects. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers using this code for commemorative cast plaques with 3D detail and specialized finishes, as well as brass service line fittings and tapping saddles for water utility stock replenishment. The issuing bodies include state agencies—particularly the Texas Department of Public Safety—and municipal utilities, with city water departments as repeat buyers for routine component replenishment. Work ranges from one-time design-and-fabrication projects for institutional displays to standing annual requirements contracts supporting ongoing infrastructure operations.

Activity concentrates in Texas, where the Texas Department of Public Safety posted an Invitation for Bid (IFB) for the Legacy Hall Courtyard Display (solicitation 40526R0025759, due October 5, 2026) specifying three cast pieces—a 65-inch diameter bronze seal with 3D prismatic star detail and dark oxide background, a cast aluminum piece with 41 solid letters in Times New Roman, and a second aluminum piece with two 6-inch prismatic stars—with lump-sum pricing covering design, materials, labor, and installation. The City of Arlington, Texas simultaneously solicited bids for an annual requirements contract for brass water repair parts (solicitation 270041, due October 22, 2026) covering brass service line fittings, accessories, and tapping saddles for warehouse stock, with electronic submission strongly encouraged. Compliance with state DPS requirements includes E-Verify, drug-free workplace certification, intellectual property transfer, seven-year record retention, and CJIS security compliance for the state opportunity; the municipal contract emphasizes use of the City's Euna Procurement platform for all solicitation notices and addenda.
