UNSPSC 31281526: Aluminum SAE series 5000 stamped component

Component stamped from SAE series 5000 aluminum

UNSPSC 31281526 Aluminum SAE series 5000 stamped component is a Commodity code that covers fabricated aluminum parts meeting SAE 5000-series specifications used in municipal infrastructure and utility systems. State and local governments buy these components as finished assemblies or subcomponents within larger public works projects—in this case, fire hydrants and similar equipment that require durable, corrosion-resistant aluminum construction. The issuing bodies are primarily cities and counties procuring through their public works or utilities departments, typically acting on infrastructure replacement or upgrade initiatives.

The City of Midland, Texas, acting on behalf of Mason County, solicited competitive bids in March 2026 for 71 fire hydrants (45 units of 4-foot, 20 units of 5-foot, and 6 units of 6-foot) under IFB notice 26003721, with bids due April 9, 2026 through the Bonfire e-procurement system. The procurement required F.O.B. delivery to Midland with freight prepaid, itemized pricing by unit, and technical compliance to attached specifications. Local preference under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051 applied, allowing award to a local bidder within five percent of the lowest non-local bid based on economic development criteria. Texas shows current activity under this code; geographic spread across additional states is not evident from the recent opportunities block.
