UNSPSC 31281916: Steel draw formed components

UNSPSC 31281916 Steel draw formed components, a Commodity code, encompasses fire hydrants and similar pressurized metal vessels procured by municipalities and county water systems. The City of Midland, Texas, acting on behalf of Mason County, recently solicited 71 fire hydrants (45 units of 4-foot, 20 units of 5-foot, and 6 units of 6-foot models) through an IFB posted March 26, 2026, with bids due April 9, 2026. The solicitation required F.O.B. delivery to Midland with freight prepaid and included in the bid price, itemized unit pricing, descriptive literature, delivery timeframes, and brand identification. Bidders were required to submit through the Bonfire e-procurement system and comply with a Non-Collusion Statement, workers' compensation insurance requirements, and proof of insurance within 21 days of award. Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051 local preference applied—a local bidder within five percent of the lowest non-local bid could receive award consideration based on economic development factors including local employment and tax revenues. The City reserved the right to award by item or total bid to the lowest responsible bidder or best-value proposer under Texas Local Government Code Section 252.043.

Geographic activity under this code centers on Texas, with the Midland procurement serving as the sole recent state and local opportunity in the available record. No information on other issuing bodies, states, or multiple awards supports broader characterization of this code's recent market. The Commodity code shows limited recent solicitation volume under the data available.
