UNSPSC 31141701: Plastic blow moldings

UNSPSC 31141701 Plastic blow moldings is a Commodity code that encompasses injection molding equipment and related manufacturing machinery used by state and local institutions. The recent activity under this code reflects institutional procurement of specialized plastic processing equipment rather than finished blow-molded products. The University of Southern Mississippi's Procurement and Contract Services, soliciting a 110-ton electric injection molding machine with specific capacity and dimensional constraints, illustrates the kinds of manufacturing capital equipment state and local entities acquire under this classification. Educational institutions, particularly those with polymer research or processing laboratories, represent the primary buyer segment for equipment in this category.

The solicitation called for F.O.B. Destination Freight Allowed pricing with firm pricing for the contract period and standard university payment terms of 2% discount if paid within ten days or net 45 days. No contract value, budget range, or set-aside designations were disclosed. Limited recent opportunities are visible under this code, with the University of Southern Mississippi representing the only identified recent state or local buyer in the available window.
