UNSPSC 31281536: Steel alloy cold rolled stamped component

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

UNSPSC 31281536 Steel alloy cold rolled stamped component is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure fabricated metal components for infrastructure and utility applications, including fire hydrant bodies and related cast or stamped steel assemblies. The City of Midland, Texas, acting on behalf of Mason County, recently solicited 71 fire hydrants (45 units of 4-foot hydrants, 20 units of 5-foot hydrants, and 6 units of 6-foot hydrants) conforming to attached technical specifications, with bidders required to provide itemized unit pricing, product literature, and delivery timeframes. The code captures goods where the primary value is in the metal stamping, forging, or cold-rolling process applied to create structural or pressure-bearing components that meet engineered specifications and utility standards.

The most recent activity under the code centers on water and wastewater utility procurement. The City of Midland IFB for fire hydrants (solicitation 26003721, due April 9, 2026) illustrates the typical scope: municipalities and counties acting as issuing bodies, with F.O.B. delivery to specified locations, compliance with state or industry technical standards, and evaluation under best-value or lowest-responsible-bidder criteria. Texas shows current activity. Local preference under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051 applies when a local bidder's price falls within five percent of the lowest non-local bid. No set-aside designations for SBE, MBE, WBE, or DBE are specified in recent notices; mandatory workers' compensation insurance and additional insured status are standard requirements.
