UNSPSC 31281528: Inconel stamped component

Component stamped from any of the family of specialist superalloys based on austenitic nickel chromium

UNSPSC 31281528 Inconel stamped component is a Commodity code that state and local governments employ to classify procurement of specialized metal components, though recent solicitation activity shows significant divergence from the code's nominal scope. The City of Midland, Texas, acting on behalf of Mason County, posted a competitive IFB in March 2026 for 71 fire hydrants across three height configurations (45 units of 4-foot, 20 units of 5-foot, and 6 units of 6-foot), with delivery F.O.B. to Midland and freight prepaid. This fire hydrant procurement indicates that the code captures water infrastructure products rather than aerospace or industrial inconel stampings typically associated with the code name. Issuing bodies soliciting under this code include municipal purchasing offices and county water or infrastructure authorities executing capital replacement projects; the Midland procurement represents typical infrastructure-renewal work involving standardized municipal equipment with attached technical specifications and delivery requirements.

The geographic activity shown is concentrated in Texas, with the most recent opportunity posted by the City of Midland, Texas, due April 9, 2026. Bidders must submit itemized pricing with unit prices, descriptive literature, and delivery timeframes through the Bonfire e-procurement system; the City reserves discretionary award authority under Texas Local Government Code Section 252.043 and applies local-preference provisions allowing award to a local bidder within five percent of the lowest non-local bid price. Bidders must execute a Non-Collusion Statement, complete a Conflict of Interest Questionnaire if establishing a new business relationship with the City, and provide proof of workers' compensation insurance within 21 days of contract award. No set-aside designations for minority, women-owned, or disadvantaged enterprises are specified in the solicitation, and no incumbent vendor, budget range, or award value is disclosed.
