UNSPSC 31281913: Non metallic draw formed components

UNSPSC 31281913 Non metallic draw formed components (Commodity) covers fire hydrants and similar formed metal components that state and local governments procure for water infrastructure maintenance and replacement. The City of Midland, Texas, acting on behalf of Mason County, recently solicited 71 fire hydrants in varying heights (4-foot, 5-foot, and 6-foot units) conforming to attached technical specifications under IFB 26003721, with response due April 9, 2026. State and local water utilities, public works departments, and municipalities are the primary buyers under this code, purchasing replacement hydrants, ductile iron or cast iron formed components, and related water distribution infrastructure elements through competitive sealed bids and IFBs.

The Midland procurement represents municipal water infrastructure activity centered in Texas. Bidders must submit itemized pricing by unit, provide product literature and delivery timelines, and identify brand names and model numbers; F.O.B. delivery to Midland with prepaid freight was required, and bids were due through the Bonfire e-procurement platform. Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051 local preference provisions applied, allowing award to a local bidder within five percent of the lowest non-local bid price. No set-asides for disadvantaged enterprises were specified. Workers' compensation insurance and proof of additional insured coverage within 21 days of award were mandatory. The source shows limited recent activity under this code; no incumbent vendor was identified, and no award value or budget range was disclosed in the procurement documents.
