UNSPSC 31281515: Lead stamped components

UNSPSC 31281515 Lead stamped components is a Commodity code that in recent state and local procurement activity covers fire hydrants and associated water infrastructure components. The City of Midland, Texas, acting on behalf of Mason County, recently solicited competitive bids for 71 fire hydrants — 45 units of 4-foot hydrants, 20 units of 5-foot hydrants, and 6 units of 6-foot hydrants — under the U25-01 Fire Hydrant Replacement Project. Bidders must submit itemized pricing with unit prices and extended totals, provide descriptive literature for each item, specify delivery timeframes in calendar days, and identify the brand name and product number of proposed hydrants. All hydrants must conform to attached technical specifications and be delivered F.O.B. to the City of Midland with freight prepaid and included in the bid price. The procurement demonstrates that state and local governments use this code to acquire standardized water-distribution equipment for utility infrastructure replacement and maintenance, with issuing bodies including municipal purchasing offices acting on behalf of counties or special-purpose districts.

The Midland solicitation closed on April 9, 2026, via the Bonfire e-procurement system. The City of Midland reserved the right to award by item or by total bid to either the lowest responsible bidder or the bidder offering the best value under Texas Local Government Code Section 252.043. Local preference applies under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051, whereby a local bidder's price within five percent of the lowest non-local bid may receive award based on economic development considerations. Bidders must execute a Non-Collusion Statement, maintain workers' compensation insurance, and provide proof of insurance within 21 days of contract award. The source identifies only this single recent opportunity under the code and provides no additional geographic spread or multiple issuing bodies; recent activity under this Commodity code is limited in the available procurement dataset.
