UNSPSC 31281510: Tin stamped components

UNSPSC 31281510 Tin stamped components is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local activity it captures involves procurement of fire hydrants and related water infrastructure components rather than discrete stamped metal parts. The City of Midland, Texas, acting on behalf of Mason County, solicited bids in March 2026 for 71 fire hydrants (45 units of 4-foot, 20 units of 5-foot, and 6 units of 6-foot models) conforming to attached technical specifications, with delivery F.O.B. to Midland and freight prepaid. Bidders submit itemized pricing by unit, descriptive literature, proposed delivery timeframes in calendar days, and brand/product identification through the Bonfire e-procurement system. The issuing body mix appears limited to municipal water and utility departments, with Midland's procurement on behalf of Mason County representing a typical acquisition pattern for replacement and maintenance of above-ground water distribution infrastructure.

The recent opportunity shows activity in Texas. The City of Midland's IFB for the U25-01 Fire Hydrant Replacement Project closed April 9, 2026, with award at the City's discretion to the lowest responsible bidder or best-value offeror under Texas Local Government Code Section 252.043. Local preference provisions apply when a local bidder's price falls within five percent of the lowest non-local bid; no set-asides for disadvantaged enterprises are specified. Bidders must execute a Non-Collusion Statement, provide a Conflict of Interest Questionnaire if establishing a business relationship, and submit proof of workers' compensation insurance within 21 days of award. The procurement documents do not disclose award value, budget range, or incumbent vendor information.
