UNSPSC 31281525: Aluminum SAE series 3000 stamped component

Component stamped from SAE series 3000 aluminum

UNSPSC 31281525 Aluminum SAE series 3000 stamped component is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure metal-stamped components for infrastructure and utility systems. The recent activity shows purchasing focused on fire hydrants manufactured from aluminum and conforming to technical specifications for municipal water system replacement projects. Issuing bodies include municipalities and counties acting jointly through their purchasing offices, typically managing infrastructure upgrade initiatives through competitive bidding processes. Buyers evaluate proposals on lowest-responsible-bid or best-value criteria, with local preference provisions applying where statute permits.

The City of Midland, Texas, acting on behalf of Mason County, posted an IFB (26003721) on March 26, 2026, for 71 fire hydrants in three configurations (45 units of 4-foot, 20 units of 5-foot, and 6 units of 6-foot) with bids due April 9, 2026. Bidders must submit itemized unit pricing, descriptive literature, delivery timeframes, and brand identification through the Bonfire e-procurement system, with F.O.B. delivery to Midland and freight prepaid included in the bid price. Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051 local preference applies; no MBE, WBE, or other set-aside restrictions are specified. The procurement documents require non-collusion statements, conflict-of-interest questionnaires where applicable, workers' compensation insurance, and proof of coverage within 21 days of award. Recent state and local activity under this code appears limited to this single posted opportunity; geographic concentration and repeat-buyer patterns are not evident from available solicitations.
