UNSPSC 31281809: Non metallic punched components

UNSPSC 31281809 Non metallic punched components is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure fire hydrants and related metallic and non-metallic utility infrastructure components. The recent solicitation activity reflects municipal water system replacement and maintenance work rather than discrete punched-component manufacturing, indicating that the code's nominal framing does not align closely with actual procurement intake. State and local buyers posting under this code include municipalities and county governments acting on behalf of water systems and utility districts, though the recent-opportunities record shows limited volume.

The City of Midland, Texas, acting on behalf of Mason County, issued IFB 26003721 in March 2026 for 71 fire hydrants across three heights (4-foot, 5-foot, and 6-foot units) to support the U25-01 Fire Hydrant Replacement Project, with a response deadline of April 9, 2026. Bidders were required to submit itemized pricing, descriptive literature, delivery timeframes, and product identification through the Bonfire e-procurement system; all hydrants were to be delivered F.O.B. to Midland with freight prepaid. The City reserved the right to award by item or total bid to the lowest responsible bidder or best-value offeror under Texas Local Government Code Section 252.043, with local preference applying if a local bidder's price fell within five percent of the lowest non-local bid. No SBE, MBE, or other enterprise set-asides were designated. Workers' compensation insurance was mandatory, with proof of coverage required within 21 days of award. The code shows sparse recent activity in the state and local market; this single Texas opportunity represents the primary visible volume for the code tier.
