UNSPSC 31281803: Iron punched components

UNSPSC 31281803 Iron punched components, a Commodity code, captures specialized metal fabricated parts that state and local governments procure for infrastructure and utility systems. Recent solicitation activity shows demand centered on fire hydrant components and assemblies meeting specific municipal water-system standards. The code sees activity from city purchasing offices and county water authorities seeking replacement parts and finished assemblies that incorporate punched, stamped, or mechanically formed steel or iron elements meeting infrastructure codes and performance specifications.

The City of Midland, Texas, acting on behalf of Mason County, posted an IFB on March 26, 2026, for 71 fire hydrants across three heights (45 units of 4-foot, 20 units of 5-foot, and 6 units of 6-foot hydrants) with response due April 9, 2026. Bidders submitted itemized pricing with unit prices, descriptive literature, and delivery timeframes through the Bonfire e-procurement platform. The City reserved the right to award by item or total bid to the lowest responsible bidder or the bidder offering best value under Texas Local Government Code Section 252.043, with local preference provisions allowing consideration of local bidders within five percent of the lowest non-local price. Workers' compensation insurance, proof of insurance within 21 days of award, and a Non-Collusion Statement were mandatory. The source shows limited recent activity; this single Texas opportunity is the only documented recent state or local procurement under the code.
