UNSPSC 31281917: Tin draw formed components

UNSPSC 31281917 Tin draw formed components is a Commodity code whose recent activity shows state and local governments procuring fire hydrants and related water infrastructure components. The City of Midland, Texas, acting on behalf of Mason County, issued an IFB in March 2026 for 71 fire hydrants—45 units of 4-foot, 20 units of 5-foot, and 6 units of 6-foot models—under the U25-01 Fire Hydrant Replacement Project. Bidders must submit itemized pricing with unit costs and extended totals, provide descriptive literature and delivery timelines, and deliver F.O.B. Midland with freight prepaid. The code appears to capture municipal water system components sourced through competitive sealed bidding at the local government level, though the single recent opportunity limits characterization of issuing-body mix or broader procurement patterns.

Geographic activity is currently limited to Texas based on available records. The Midland/Mason County procurement closed April 9, 2026. No award value or incumbent vendor is documented. Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051 local preference provisions apply, allowing a local bidder within five percent of the lowest non-local bid to win on economic development grounds. Mandatory insurance and conflict-of-interest documentation requirements are enforced. The code shows minimal recent state and local activity in available sources; firms pursuing water infrastructure supply should monitor municipal capital-improvement cycles and replacement projects at Texas cities and counties, particularly in drought-prone regions, but should not expect regular or high-volume solicitation under this specific code classification.
