UNSPSC 31121911: Brass graphite mold machined castings

UNSPSC 31121911 Brass graphite mold machined castings is a Commodity code encompassing metal castings and repair components for water utility and municipal infrastructure applications. State and local governments procure under this code primarily stainless steel pipe repair clamps, cast iron curb box assemblies with brass hardware, dust caps, extensions, lids, and related water system components. Issuing bodies include municipal water utilities and city purchasing departments acting on their behalf. The City of Madison Finance Department's Purchasing Services, procuring on behalf of the Madison Water Utility, appears as a repeat buyer in the recent opportunity stream, soliciting both pipe repair clamps and curb box assemblies within days of each other in March 2026.

Recent activity centers in Wisconsin, where the Madison Water Utility posted two concurrent RFQs in March 2026: RFQ 5518 for stainless steel pipe repair clamps (175 units across eleven line items, sizes ranging from 4"X8" to 12"X24", due March 17, 2026) and RFQ 5517 for cast iron curb box assemblies with brass fasteners and tar coating (150 complete assemblies, 100 dust caps, 100 extensions, and 100 lids per the Bingham & Taylor model 94F specification, also due March 17, 2026). Both solicitations required FOB delivery to Madison, firm pricing for one year, and evaluation on cost, quality, warranty, delivery, and past performance. The City of Madison extends a local vendor preference to registered local suppliers but does not impose explicit set-asides for disadvantaged enterprises in either RFQ.
