UNSPSC 31281516: Brass stamped components

UNSPSC 31281516 Brass stamped components (Commodity) covers metal stamped and formed parts procured by state and local public bodies, though recent activity in this code shows limited alignment with the nominal brass-component scope — the one recent solicitation tags stainless steel diaphragm plates, a different material family that falls outside typical brass stamping. State and local issuing bodies using this code include university systems and their procurement functions. The kinds of work actually being solicited involve precision metal components for institutional applications, though the single recent opportunity does not provide sufficient volume to characterize the broader market activity or typical work scope under the code.

Texas A&M University System posted an ITB for stainless steel diaphragm plates (TAMUSITB270547) with a response deadline of October 28, 2026, through the AggieBid electronic procurement portal; all bidding, addenda, and Q&A occur exclusively within AggieBid rather than through standard state portals. No other recent state or local solicitations under this code appear in the source block. The code shows sparse recent activity, and the single opportunity listed does not align closely with the nominal brass-stamped-components scope, suggesting either inconsistent coding by the issuing body or a code with minimal current state and local procurement volume.
