UNSPSC 31281906: Copper draw formed components

UNSPSC 31281906 Copper draw formed components is a Commodity code that captures fire hydrants and related assembled metal components sourced by state and local water systems and municipalities for infrastructure replacement and maintenance. The code encompasses hydrant bodies, standpipes, and associated brass or copper-alloy draw-formed subassemblies that meet drinking-water system standards and municipal specifications. State and local solicitations under this code are issued by city purchasing offices and water authorities procuring equipment for capital projects and routine system upkeep. Issuing bodies typically specify deliverables to conform to industry standards (such as AWWA C502 for fire hydrant assembly) and require itemized unit pricing, descriptive literature, and proof of insurance before award.

Recent activity is concentrated in Texas municipal procurement. The City of Midland, Texas, acting on behalf of Mason County, posted an IFB on March 26, 2026 (Solicitation 26003721) seeking 71 fire hydrants — 45 units of 4-foot, 20 units of 5-foot, and 6 units of 6-foot models — for the U25-01 Fire Hydrant Replacement Project with an April 9, 2026 response deadline. Bids were required through the Bonfire e-procurement system with delivery F.O.B. Midland, freight prepaid and included in the bid price. Texas local preference applied under Section 271.9051, allowing award to a local bidder within five percent of the lowest non-local bid. No MBE, WBE, or disadvantaged-enterprise set-asides were specified; workers' compensation insurance and a Non-Collusion Statement were mandatory. The source contains no other recent state or local opportunities under this code and no geographic activity outside Texas.
