UNSPSC 31281800: Punched components

UNSPSC 31281800 Punched components is a Class code covering stainless steel diaphragm plates and similar metal stampings and perforations sourced by state and local entities. The Texas A&M University System recently solicited stainless steel diaphragm plates through an ITB, indicating that state higher-education institutions procure these metal fabricated parts for equipment assembly, maintenance, or replacement across campus operations. The code appears to reflect stamped or punched metal parts used in mechanical and fluid systems where precision cutting and forming are required. State and local government buyers under this code likely include universities and research institutions, though the recent-opportunities block shows limited visibility into the broader issuing-body mix.

The Texas A&M University System posted ITB TAMUS-ITB-26-0547 for stainless steel diaphragm plates on October 12, 2026, with bids due October 28, 2026, through the AggieBid procurement portal. All vendors must register electronically, submit bids via AggieBid, and monitor that system for addenda and updates; questions route to Sterling Crowdus at soprocurement@tamus.edu or through the Q&A portal. The source does not disclose quantities, pricing, contract duration, site visits, pre-bid conferences, set-asides, or incumbent information. Geographic activity is limited to Texas based on this single recent opportunity, and the code shows minimal recent state and local procurement visibility overall.
