UNSPSC 31281701: Welded metal components

UNSPSC 31281701 Welded metal components is a Commodity code covering fabricated metal parts assembled through welding processes that state and local governments procure for equipment repair, maintenance, and capital projects. The Texas A&M University System's recent ITB for stainless steel diaphragm plates exemplifies the types of specialized welded subassemblies typically solicited under this code — precision components engineered for specific mechanical or fluid-handling applications rather than commodity fasteners or bulk raw material. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code span higher-education institutions, transportation authorities, facilities maintenance departments, and utilities, though the recent-opportunities block provides limited visibility into the full issuing-body mix.

The Texas A&M University System posted ITB TAMUS-ITB-26-0547 on October 12, 2026, with bids due October 28, 2026, for stainless steel diaphragm plates through the AggieBid procurement portal. All vendor registration, bid submission, addenda, and Q&A activity occur exclusively within AggieBid; prospective vendors must register electronically and direct technical questions to vendorhelp@tamu.edu or substantive procurement questions to Sterling Crowdus at soprocurity@tamus.edu. The source does not disclose quantities, pricing, contract duration, anticipated award date, site-visit requirements, pre-bid conferences, set-asides, or budget.
