UNSPSC 31143203: Metallized injection molding

Injection molded component consisting of various plastic materials with the addition decorative metallic finish applied to its show surface after molding, using an electrostatic evaporative coating process

UNSPSC 31143203 Metallized injection molding, a Commodity code, encompasses specialized injection molding equipment and services for state and local entities. Based on recent procurement activity, the code captures the acquisition of industrial-grade injection molding machinery with precision specifications and ancillary services including installation, training, and technical support. State and local buyers soliciting under this code include higher-education institutions pursuing equipment for research and manufacturing labs, though the recent-opportunities block shows limited activity across the broader issuing-body landscape of state departments, counties, cities, school districts, and transit authorities.

The University of Southern Mississippi posted a sealed-bid IFB (Solicitation 3160008023) on April 26, 2026, with a response deadline of May 12, 2026, for a 110-ton electric injection molding machine to be installed in the Mississippi Polymer Institute Processing Lab. The machine was required to meet strict dimensional and thermal specifications, including a 40mm screw diameter, 171-gram shot size, and maximum barrel temperatures of 800 degrees Fahrenheit, with delivery within 16 weeks, one day of installation and familiarization, three days of training, minimum one-year warranty, and lifetime technical support. Award was to be made to the lowest responsible bidder meeting all specifications under F.O.B. Destination Freight Allowed pricing terms. The source supports limited recent activity under this code; no other state or local opportunities appear in the current record.
