UNSPSC 31132208: Warm forged heat treated and cold sized brass forging

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

UNSPSC 31132208 Warm forged heat treated and cold sized brass forging is a Commodity code that covers manufactured brass forgings produced through warm forging, heat treatment, and cold sizing processes for use in mechanical assemblies, fittings, and hardware applications across state and local infrastructure and equipment systems. State and local procurement offices acquire these components as inputs to larger construction, maintenance, and equipment-assembly projects rather than as end products; the forgings themselves are typically specified in bids for plumbing systems, hydraulic assemblies, industrial machinery repair, or custom fabrication work. Issuing bodies across the state and local procurement landscape — including state departments of transportation, county public works offices, cities, and municipal utilities — source these components indirectly through construction contracts, equipment procurement, and maintenance agreements rather than purchasing the forgings directly as standalone commodities.

The source provided contains no recent state and local contract opportunities tagged to this code, making it difficult to characterize current geographic concentration, active issuing bodies, or near-term pursuit targets. The code appears to see limited direct procurement activity at the state and local level, likely because brass forgings are specified as bill-of-materials inputs within broader RFPs and RFQs for infrastructure projects, plumbing systems, or equipment repair rather than as standalone solicitation line items. Firms pursuing this commodity should monitor construction and facilities-maintenance RFPs issued by state transportation departments, county public works agencies, and municipal utilities for opportunities where brass forgings are part of the scope of work.
