UNSPSC 31281520: Non metallic stamped components

UNSPSC 31281520 Non metallic stamped components is a Commodity code that encompasses fire hydrants and related pressurized water system components procured by municipalities and county water authorities. State and local governments use this code to buy replacement and new-installation fire hydrants that meet standardized municipal specifications and serve public fire protection infrastructure. The City of Midland, Texas acting on behalf of Mason County exemplifies the typical issuing body — municipal purchasing offices managing infrastructure replacement projects funded through capital improvement and utility budgets. Solicitations under this code require compliance with local and state technical standards, include detailed performance specifications and delivery requirements, and often incorporate local preference provisions under state procurement law.

The code shows activity concentrated in Texas, where the Midland/Mason County procurement posted in March 2026 sought 71 fire hydrants (45 units of 4-foot, 20 units of 5-foot, and 6 units of 6-foot) under an IFB with a response deadline of April 9, 2026. The Midland solicitation required itemized unit pricing, delivery timelines in calendar days, brand and product identification, F.O.B. Midland delivery with freight prepaid and included in bid price, and proof of workers' compensation insurance within 21 days of award. Bidders could pursue local preference under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051 if their price fell within five percent of the lowest non-local bid, though no MBE, SBE, or other disadvantaged-enterprise set-asides were designated. The source identifies no other recent state or local opportunities under this code, indicating limited posting activity at the Commodity level in the recent window.
