UNSPSC 31122001: Aluminum squeeze machined casting

Squeeze casting made of aluminum that has been machined

UNSPSC 31122001 Aluminum squeeze machined casting is a Commodity code that in practice covers specialized high-performance conductor materials for utility infrastructure projects rather than discrete machined castings. State and local utility authorities solicit under this code for advanced aluminum-based transmission conductor systems, particularly composite-core wire used in transmission line reconductoring and capacity expansion work. The scope encompasses engineered conductor products delivered to specification with associated installation support services and quality-assurance components. Issuing bodies are typically municipal and regional utility authorities managing generation, transmission, and distribution infrastructure.

Kissimmee Utility Authority posted IFB 26055JG on September 24, 2026, requesting sealed bids for high-temperature Aluminum Conductor Composite Core (ACCC) transmission conductor wire for three transmission line reconductor projects totaling 162,000 feet of primary wire and 11,000 feet of system spare wire, with individual delivery windows spanning August 2027 through February 2028 and bids due October 27, 2026 at 2:00 PM EST. The solicitation requires firm-fixed pricing inclusive of materials, labor, freight, and taxes, with a two-tiered pricing format incorporating a base product price and adjustable tariff cost component with defined caps and refund mechanisms. Award criteria specify lowest responsive and responsible bid; the successful vendor must furnish a 100% performance bond following award and comply with FEMA disaster assistance provisions, Clean Air Act, Federal Water Pollution Control Act, and contract work hours and safety standards. Questions close October 13, 2026 at 2:00 PM EST via VendorLink. The recent opportunity block contains only this single solicitation; geographic concentration and issuing-body patterns cannot be characterized from one posting.
