UNSPSC 31231204: Bronze machined plate stock

UNSPSC 31231204 Bronze machined plate stock is a Commodity code covering machined bronze and brass stock materials, though state and local procurement activity under this code reflects actual demand for brass water system components rather than raw plate stock. The City of Arlington, Texas solicits annual requirements contracts for brass water repair parts—service line fittings, accessories, and tapping saddles—to replenish warehouse inventory for municipal water operations. This code captures the intersection of material specification and end-use application in municipal utilities procurement, where jurisdictions standardize on brass alloys for corrosion resistance and durability in potable water systems.

The recent solicitation activity under this code centers on municipal utilities departments. The City of Arlington, Texas issued an RFQ (Solicitation 270041) with a response deadline of October 22, 2026, for an annual requirements contract covering brass water repair parts. Bidders are required to submit electronically through Euna Procurement; paper submissions are accepted only in sealed envelopes labeled with company name, solicitation number, and title, and late bids are rejected. The City of Arlington emphasizes exclusive use of Euna Procurement for all solicitation distribution and warns that receipt through other channels may result in incomplete specifications or missed addenda. Geographic activity under this code is currently limited to Texas municipal procurement based on available recent opportunities.
