UNSPSC 31282011: Nickel alloy hydro formed components

UNSPSC 31282011 Nickel alloy hydro formed components is a Commodity code that in state and local procurement encompasses fire hydrants and related pressure-vessel components manufactured from nickel alloys or similar corrosion-resistant materials to conform to municipal water system standards. The code captures competitive procurements by cities and counties seeking replacement or new-installation hydrants meeting technical specifications for diameter, height, and operational tolerance. Issuing bodies are typically municipal water departments and public works offices acting on behalf of their jurisdictions or serving counties in a regional capacity, with procurement volumes ranging from dozens to hundreds of units per opportunity.

The City of Midland, Texas, acting on behalf of Mason County, posted a competitive IFB on March 26, 2026 (Solicitation 26003721) for 71 fire hydrants—45 units of 4-foot height, 20 units of 5-foot height, and 6 units of 6-foot height—with a response deadline of April 9, 2026. Bidders were required to submit itemized pricing with unit and extended totals, descriptive literature, delivery timelines in calendar days, and brand and product identification, with all hydrants to be delivered F.O.B. to Midland with freight prepaid. The City reserved the right to award by item or in total to the lowest responsible or best-value bidder under Texas Local Government Code Section 252.043, and local preference applied if a local bidder's price fell within five percent of the lowest non-local bid. No SBE or MBE set-asides were specified. Recent activity under this code appears limited to Texas municipal procurement; broader geographic activity is not supported by the available opportunities block.
