UNSPSC 31281531: Steel alloy hot rolled stamped component

Component stamped from hot rolled steel heavily alloyed with various other metals

UNSPSC 31281531 Steel alloy hot rolled stamped component is a Commodity code that encompasses fire hydrants and similar water infrastructure components procured by municipal water and public works departments. State and local governments buy completed hydrants meeting specific dimensional and performance standards under this code, with procurement focused on replacement and infrastructure upgrade projects rather than raw materials or manufacturing components. Issuing bodies include city and county water utilities and public works departments, often acting jointly through local purchasing offices, with typical solicitations requesting multiple units delivered to municipal facilities under firm delivery schedules and compliance with technical specification sheets.

The City of Midland, Texas, acting on behalf of Mason County, posted an IFB on March 26, 2026, for 71 fire hydrants across three sizes (45 units of 4-foot, 20 units of 5-foot, and 6 units of 6-foot) under solicitation 26003721, with responses due April 9, 2026, through the Bonfire e-procurement system. The procurement required itemized unit pricing, delivery timeframes in calendar days, brand and product identification, and F.O.B. Midland delivery with freight prepaid. The City applied Texas local preference provisions under Section 271.9051, allowing award to a local bidder within five percent of the lowest non-local bid based on economic development impact, while mandatory requirements included a Non-Collusion Statement, workers' compensation insurance documentation within 21 days of award, and the City named as additional insured. No incumbent vendor was identified, no award value was stated, and no enterprise set-asides were specified.
