UNSPSC 31282006: Copper hydro formed components

UNSPSC 31282006 Copper hydro formed components, a Commodity code, encompasses fire hydrants and related copper-formed water infrastructure components that state and local water and public works departments procure for system replacement and expansion projects. The single recent opportunity in the source—the City of Midland, Texas procuring 71 fire hydrants of varying heights (4-foot, 5-foot, and 6-foot units) for the U25-01 Fire Hydrant Replacement Project—illustrates the typical scope: specification-driven procurement of standardized hydrant assemblies to match existing system infrastructure, with bidders required to provide unit pricing, product literature, delivery schedules, and brand identification. Issuing bodies under this code span municipal water utilities and public works departments, with Texas municipalities representing the visible recent activity in the dataset.

The City of Midland's IFB (posted March 26, 2026, due April 9, 2026) remains the only documented recent state and local opportunity for this code. The procurement required F.O.B. delivery to Midland with freight prepaid, submission through the Bonfire e-procurement platform, and compliance with Texas Local Government Code provisions including local preference eligibility (available if a local bidder's price falls within five percent of the lowest non-local bid) and mandatory insurance requirements. No set-asides for disadvantaged enterprises were specified. Beyond this single Texas example, the source provides no additional recent opportunities, geographic concentration data, or repeat-buyer patterns to characterize activity across other states or jurisdictions.
