UNSPSC 31132202: Cold forged heat treated brass forging

Forging made of brass that is forged at a cold temperature and has been heat treated

UNSPSC 31132202 Cold forged heat treated brass forging is a Commodity code covering brass forgings that undergo cold-forming and heat-treatment processes, a specialized metal-working product with limited visibility in recent state and local procurement activity. State and local governments purchase these components primarily as part of larger mechanical assemblies, equipment systems, or infrastructure projects requiring corrosion-resistant fasteners, hydraulic fittings, plumbing connectors, or valve bodies where brass properties — high strength-to-weight ratio, electrical conductivity, and resistance to saltwater corrosion — outweigh cost considerations. The issuing bodies for such procurements typically include county water authorities, municipal utilities, state transportation departments, and public facilities management agencies responsible for water distribution systems, wastewater treatment plants, and marine or coastal infrastructure.

The source provided contains no recent state and local contract opportunities tagged to this Commodity code, precluding geographic or issuing-body characterization based on posted solicitations. Without posted RFPs, RFQs, ITBs, or IFBs to reference, procurement activity under the code cannot be confirmed or geographically mapped. Firms pursuing this code should monitor cooperative purchasing agreements through established state contracts for industrial metals and fabricated components, track infrastructure modernization RFPs from water authorities and transportation departments in coastal regions where brass corrosion resistance commands premium pricing, and watch for equipment-system procurements where brass forgings appear as specified components in bills of materials.
