UNSPSC 31231203: Brass machined plate stock

UNSPSC 31231203 Brass machined plate stock is a Commodity code that in state and local practice encompasses brass components and fittings for water infrastructure repair and maintenance. The City of Arlington, Texas is actively soliciting under this code for brass service line fittings, accessories, and tapping saddles to replenish water warehouse stock, indicating that municipalities acquire brass water repair parts as consumable inventory to support ongoing system operations rather than as raw machined plate material. State and local water utilities and municipal public works departments are the primary issuing bodies for this code, procuring brass components to maintain distribution networks and reduce service interruptions.

The City of Arlington posted an IFB (Solicitation Number 270041) on September 23, 2026 for an annual requirements contract covering brass water repair parts, with responses due October 22, 2026. The city encourages electronic submission and requires sealed paper bids to be labeled with company name, solicitation number, and title; late submissions are not accepted. Arlington exclusively uses Euna Procurement for solicitation distribution, and bids received through other channels risk non-compliance due to incomplete specifications or missing addenda. The source does not identify additional recent opportunities or geographic spread beyond Texas at this time.
