UNSPSC 31281518: Composite stamped components

UNSPSC 31281518 Composite stamped components (Commodity) encompasses metal and composite fire hydrants and related water-infrastructure stamped assemblies that state and local water utilities and municipalities procure for distribution-system maintenance and replacement. The recent solicitation activity shows municipalities buying complete hydrant units in multiple heights to specification, with pricing structured by unit type and delivery location, representing the core work under this code.

The City of Midland, Texas, acting on behalf of Mason County, issued an IFB (Solicitation 26003721) in March 2026 for 71 fire hydrants across three height configurations (4-foot, 5-foot, and 6-foot units) under the U25-01 Fire Hydrant Replacement Project, with bids due April 9, 2026. The procurement required itemized unit pricing, descriptive literature, delivery timeframes in calendar days, and brand identification; all hydrants were to be delivered F.O.B. Midland with freight prepaid. Texas local preference provisions applied, allowing the City Council to award to a local bidder if its price fell within five percent of the lowest non-local bid. No set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises were specified. The source shows no other recent state and local opportunities under this code; activity appears concentrated in Texas municipalities managing water-system capital projects.
