UNSPSC 31281807: Composite punched components

UNSPSC 31281807 Composite punched components is a Commodity code covering the procurement of fire hydrants and related composite metal assemblies for water infrastructure replacement and maintenance. State and local governments buy assembled hydrant units under this code, typically as part of water system capital improvement or replacement projects. The code captures finished products with multiple punched or drilled metal components joined into a single assembly rather than raw materials or parts. Issuing bodies include municipalities and county governments, often procuring through dedicated capital project vehicles or water utility offices.

Activity under the code concentrates in Texas, where the City of Midland, acting on behalf of Mason County, posted IFB 26003721 on March 26, 2026, seeking 71 fire hydrants (45 units of 4-foot, 20 units of 5-foot, and 6 units of 6-foot hydrants) with an April 9, 2026 response deadline. The solicitation required itemized unit pricing, delivery timeframes, and technical compliance with attached specifications, with F.O.B. Midland delivery and freight prepaid. Local preference under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051 applied — bidders within five percent of the lowest non-local bid could qualify for consideration based on economic development impact. Bidders were required to execute a Non-Collusion Statement, provide proof of workers' compensation insurance within 21 days of award, and acknowledge mandatory bid waivers. The source reports no other recent opportunities under this code and does not identify an award value or budget range.
