UNSPSC 31281814: Lead punched components

UNSPSC 31281814 Lead punched components is a Commodity code that in recent state and local procurement activity represents water infrastructure components, specifically fire hydrants procured for municipal replacement and maintenance projects. The City of Midland, Texas, acting on behalf of Mason County, recently solicited competitive bids for 71 fire hydrants in varying heights (4-foot, 5-foot, and 6-foot units) under the U25-01 Fire Hydrant Replacement Project, with bidders required to submit itemized pricing, descriptive literature, delivery timeframes, and brand specifications. Issuing bodies soliciting under this code include municipalities and county governments responsible for water system infrastructure. Bidders must comply with standard municipal procurement requirements including non-collusion statements, workers' compensation insurance, and conflict-of-interest questionnaires, with delivery F.O.B. to the procuring city and freight costs included in the bid price.

The City of Midland, Texas IFB for fire hydrants closed on April 9, 2026, with bids submitted through the Bonfire e-procurement system. Texas local preference provisions under Local Government Code Section 271.9051 apply, allowing the City Council to award to a local bidder if pricing falls within five percent of the lowest non-local bid. No set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are specified in this procurement. Award is made to the lowest responsible bidder or best-value proposer under Texas Local Government Code Section 252.043, with evaluation criteria potentially including factors enumerated in that statute. The procurement documents do not identify an incumbent vendor or budget range.
