UNSPSC 31281919: Zinc draw formed components

UNSPSC 31281919 Zinc draw formed components is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure fabricated metal products, specifically fire hydrants and related cast or drawn zinc alloy assemblies for water infrastructure. The City of Midland, Texas, acting on behalf of Mason County, recently solicited 71 fire hydrants in three height configurations (4-foot, 5-foot, and 6-foot units) conforming to detailed technical specifications, with bidders required to submit itemized unit pricing, product literature, delivery timelines, and brand identification. The work reflects municipal water-system capital replacement and maintenance, typical of city and county water departments managing aging hydrant stock. Issuing bodies under this code include municipal water utilities and county water authorities responsible for potable-water distribution infrastructure.

The City of Midland's March 2026 IFB (Solicitation 26003721) closed April 9, 2026, with F.O.B. delivery to Midland and freight included in bid price; the solicitation does not name an incumbent vendor, award value, or budget ceiling. Texas shows recent activity under the code, with local-preference provisions under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051 allowing the City Council to award to a local bidder if within five percent of the lowest non-local price. Workers' compensation insurance and a Non-Collusion Statement are mandatory for all bidders. The source supports limited recent opportunity visibility; activity appears concentrated in municipal water-infrastructure procurement where fire-hydrant replacement constitutes routine capital investment.
