UNSPSC 31282010: Magnesium hydro formed components

UNSPSC 31282010 Magnesium hydro formed components, a Commodity code, encompasses fire hydrants and related water-delivery infrastructure components that state and local governments procure for municipal water system maintenance and replacement projects. The recent activity under this code reflects municipal water departments and city procurement offices acquiring hydrants to specification for planned capital-improvement initiatives. Issuing bodies soliciting under this code include city governments acting independently or on behalf of subordinate jurisdictions, as exemplified by municipalities managing water infrastructure across their service territories. The procurement typically involves competitive bidding for quantities of standardized, specification-conforming components with itemized unit pricing and delivery requirements tied to project timelines and geographic locations.

The City of Midland, Texas, acting on behalf of Mason County, posted an IFB on March 26, 2026, for 71 fire hydrants under the U25-01 Fire Hydrant Replacement Project, with bids due April 9, 2026. The solicitation called for 45 units of 4-foot hydrants, 20 units of 5-foot hydrants, and 6 units of 6-foot hydrants, all conforming to attached technical specifications, with F.O.B. delivery to Midland and freight prepaid. Bidders were required to submit itemized pricing by unit, delivery timeframes, product literature, and brand identification through the Bonfire e-procurement system. Texas local-preference provisions applied under Section 271.9051, allowing the City Council to award to a local bidder whose price fell within five percent of the lowest non-local bid based on economic-development criteria. The procurement documents indicate no set-asides for disadvantaged enterprises and no stated award value or budget range.
