UNSPSC 31281805: Stainless steel punched components

UNSPSC 31281805 Stainless steel punched components is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local activity under it centers on fire hydrants and related water-system infrastructure rather than generic punched-metal components. The City of Midland, Texas, acting on behalf of Mason County, solicited competitive bids in March 2026 for 71 fire hydrants in three sizes (4-foot, 5-foot, and 6-foot units) conforming to attached technical specifications. State and local governments use this code for procurement of manufactured metal components that are part of water-delivery and fire-suppression systems, though the tagged opportunities reflect specialized end-use equipment more than commodity-tier metalwork. Issuing bodies under this code span municipal water and public-safety departments, with city purchasing offices as the primary transaction point.

Geographic activity centers on Texas based on the single recent solicitation. The Midland-Mason County opportunity posted March 26, 2026, with a bid due date of April 9, 2026, through the Bonfire e-procurement system. Bidders must submit itemized pricing with unit prices, delivery timeframes in calendar days, and brand identification; all hydrants must be delivered F.O.B. to Midland with freight prepaid and included in the bid price. The City reserves award discretion under Texas Local Government Code Section 252.043 to select the lowest responsible bidder or best-value offer, and local preference provisions apply when a local bidder's price falls within five percent of the lowest non-local bid. No disadvantaged-enterprise set-asides are specified. Mandatory compliance includes a Non-Collusion Statement, Conflict of Interest Questionnaire if applicable, workers' compensation insurance, and proof of coverage within 21 days of award. No incumbent vendor, budget range, or award value is identified in the procurement documents.
