UNSPSC 31281504: Iron stamped components

UNSPSC 31281504 Iron stamped components, a Commodity code, encompasses stamped metal parts and assemblies that state and local governments procure for infrastructure maintenance and replacement. Recent solicitation activity shows that municipalities are buying fire hydrants — fabricated metal assemblies that include stamped and formed steel components — for water system upgrades and systematic replacement projects. The code captures the stamped-metal-component segment of these larger equipment procurements, though opportunities may be tagged at the commodity level even when the buying party views the purchase as a complete hydrant assembly rather than a component order. Issuing bodies for this code include city procurement offices acting on behalf of municipalities and counties, with individual public works departments or water authorities driving the technical specifications and delivery requirements.

The City of Midland, Texas, acting on behalf of Mason County, posted an IFB (solicitation 26003721) on March 26, 2026, for the procurement of 71 fire hydrants — 45 units of 4-foot, 20 units of 5-foot, and 6 units of 6-foot models — under the U25-01 Fire Hydrant Replacement Project, with bids due April 9, 2026. The solicitation required itemized unit pricing, descriptive literature, delivery timeframes, brand names, and product numbers, with F.O.B. delivery to Midland and freight prepaid by the vendor. Texas local preference rules applied under Section 271.9051, allowing the City Council to award to a local bidder if the bid fell within five percent of the lowest non-local price. The source shows limited recent activity under this code; the Midland opportunity represents the only documented state-local solicitation in the available dataset, suggesting relatively quiet procurement volume for iron stamped components at the state and local level.
