UNSPSC 31281905: Composite draw formed components

UNSPSC 31281905 Composite draw formed components is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure manufactured fire hydrants and related cast or drawn metal components for water infrastructure. The City of Midland, Texas, acting on behalf of Mason County, exemplifies the primary issuing-body category—municipal water utilities and public works departments—soliciting finished hydrants in quantities ranging from dozens to hundreds of units per project. State and local procurement under this code focuses on equipment meeting standardized specifications for municipal water distribution systems, with bidders expected to provide detailed product literature, unit pricing, and delivery logistics alongside compliance with local procurement statutes and insurance requirements.

The code shows recent activity concentrated in Texas, where the Midland procurement (IFB 26003721, due April 9, 2026) sought 71 fire hydrants in three height configurations for the U25-01 Fire Hydrant Replacement Project under Texas Local Government Code provisions governing competitive procurement and local-vendor preference. The source contains no additional opportunities outside Texas and does not identify activity in other states or regions. Bidders must deliver F.O.B. Midland with freight prepaid, comply with a Non-Collusion Statement and Conflict of Interest Questionnaire, and maintain workers' compensation insurance with the City named as additional insured. Award is at the City's discretion based on lowest responsible bidder or best value under Texas statute, with no formal set-asides but local-preference eligibility available to bidders within five percent of the lowest non-local price.
