UNSPSC 31281814: Lead punched components

UNSPSC 31281814 Lead punched components is a Commodity code that describes metal components with punched or drilled features for industrial and institutional applications. The Texas A&M University System's recent solicitation for stainless steel diaphragm plates illustrates the code's scope — precision-punched metal fabrication for equipment assembly, typically driven by facilities, research, and maintenance operations at state universities and similar institutions.

State and local governments acquire these components primarily through higher-education procurement, though the recent-opportunities record shows limited activity at this time. The Texas A&M University System posted an ITB on October 12, 2026, for stainless steel diaphragm plates with a response deadline of October 28, 2026. All bidding occurred through the AggieBid procurement portal; prospective vendors registered and submitted bids electronically via that system, with addenda and updates posted there rather than on the ESBD. Questions went to Sterling Crowdus at soprocurement@tamus.edu or through the Q&A function in AggieBid.
