UNSPSC 31281815: Brass punched components

UNSPSC 31281815 Brass punched components is a Commodity code that in state and local procurement actually covers fire hydrants and related brass-component water-delivery infrastructure serving municipal water systems. The City of Midland, Texas, acting on behalf of Mason County, recently solicited 71 fire hydrants across multiple sizes—45 units of 4-foot, 20 units of 5-foot, and 6 units of 6-foot models—all conforming to attached technical specifications. State and local governments procure under this code primarily through municipal water departments, public works agencies, and county water authorities conducting infrastructure replacement and maintenance projects. Bidders must submit itemized pricing with unit prices and extended totals, provide descriptive literature, specify delivery timeframes in calendar days, identify brand name and product number, and arrange F.O.B. delivery with freight prepaid to the specified location. The procurement follows Texas Local Government Code Section 252.043 best-value evaluation criteria; local preference provisions under Section 271.9051 apply, allowing award to a local bidder whose price falls within five percent of the lowest non-local bid. All bidders must execute a Non-Collusion Statement, maintain workers' compensation insurance as mandated by Texas statute, and provide proof of insurance within 21 days of contract award with the City named as additional insured.

The City of Midland, Texas IFB for fire hydrant procurement closed April 9, 2026, with bids submitted through the Bonfire e-procurement system. Texas represents the documented recent activity under this code; no geographic spread across additional states appears in the available solicitation record. The fire hydrant replacement project signals ongoing municipal infrastructure maintenance cycles, though the single solicitation record limits visibility into repeat-buyer patterns or broader geographic demand across state and local jurisdictions.
