UNSPSC 31281912: Non ferrous alloy draw formed components

UNSPSC 31281912 Non ferrous alloy draw formed components is a Commodity code capturing metallic infrastructure components cast or formed from non-ferrous alloys that state and local governments procure for utility system replacement and maintenance. The actual work being solicited reflects fire hydrant procurement — specifically, cast or formed metal hydrant bodies and assemblies conforming to municipal water utility specifications. The issuing bodies soliciting under this code include municipal water departments and purchasing offices acting on behalf of county water authorities, acquiring replacement hydrants as part of planned infrastructure renewal projects.

The City of Midland, Texas, acting on behalf of Mason County, posted an IFB on March 26, 2026, for 71 fire hydrants (45 units at 4-foot height, 20 units at 5-foot height, and 6 units at 6-foot height) under the U25-01 Fire Hydrant Replacement Project, with bids due by April 9, 2026. Bidders were required to submit itemized unit pricing, delivery timeframes in calendar days, and product specifications; all hydrants were to be delivered F.O.B. Midland with freight prepaid. The City reserved the right to award by item or by total bid to the lowest responsible bidder or the bidder offering best value under Texas Local Government Code Section 252.043, with local preference applying if a local bidder's price fell within five percent of the lowest non-local bid. The procurement documents do not identify an incumbent vendor or specify an award value or budget range.
