UNSPSC 31281902: Beryllium draw formed components

UNSPSC 31281902 Beryllium draw formed components is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure fire hydrants and similar metal-formed infrastructure components for water system maintenance and replacement projects. The City of Midland, Texas, acting on behalf of Mason County, represents the primary recent issuing body under this code, soliciting standardized hydrant units for municipal water infrastructure replacement. The work involves procuring manufactured metal hydrants meeting attached technical specifications, with bidders required to provide itemized unit pricing, product literature, and delivery terms.

The geographic activity centers on Texas, where the City of Midland's U25-01 Fire Hydrant Replacement Project (IFB 26003721, due April 9, 2026) called for 71 units across three standard heights—45 units of 4-foot hydrants, 20 units of 5-foot hydrants, and 6 units of 6-foot hydrants—delivered F.O.B. to Midland with freight prepaid. The procurement applied Texas local preference provisions under Local Government Code Section 271.9051, allowing the City Council to award to a local bidder whose price fell within five percent of the lowest non-local bid. Bidders submitted through Bonfire e-procurement and were required to execute a Non-Collusion Statement, provide workers' compensation insurance proof within 21 days of award, and comply with conflict-of-interest and eligibility affidavit requirements. No incumbent vendor was identified in the procurement documents, and no budget range or award value was disclosed.
