UNSPSC 31282009: Lead hydro formed components

UNSPSC 31282009 Lead hydro formed components, a Commodity code, encompasses fire hydrants and similar pressurized water delivery and control equipment that state and local governments procure for water infrastructure maintenance and replacement. The code covers cast or formed hydrant bodies, valve assemblies, and associated components specified to meet industry standards and local engineering requirements. Issuing bodies under this code include municipalities and county water authorities acting directly or on behalf of regional water systems, purchasing fire suppression equipment as part of capital renewal and infrastructure upgrade programs. The scope of work centers on procurement of finished hydrants in standard heights and configurations, with technical specifications, delivery logistics, and performance standards driven by local water system engineering and fire department requirements.

The City of Midland, Texas, acting on behalf of Mason County, posted an IFB (Solicitation 26003721) on March 26, 2026, for 71 fire hydrants in three configurations—45 units of 4-foot, 20 units of 5-foot, and 6 units of 6-foot—under the U25-01 Fire Hydrant Replacement Project, with bids due April 9, 2026. The solicitation required itemized unit pricing, descriptive literature for proposed products, delivery timeframes, and brand identification; delivery was F.O.B. Midland with freight prepaid and included in the bid. Texas local preference rules applied, allowing the City Council to award to a local bidder within five percent of the lowest non-local bid based on economic development criteria. Recent activity under this code shows concentration in Texas municipal procurement, with typical awards to the lowest responsible bidder or best-value proposer under state competitive-bid statutes. No other recent opportunities in the source block are available to characterize broader geographic or issuing-body patterns.
