UNSPSC 31282012: Non ferrous alloy hydro formed components

UNSPSC 31282012 Non ferrous alloy hydro formed components, a Commodity code, encompasses metal-formed water infrastructure components that state and local governments procure as part of utility and public works projects. Recent state and local activity shows municipalities sourcing fire hydrants — standardized metal assemblies that must meet technical specifications for dimension, pressure rating, and material composition. The City of Midland, Texas, acting on behalf of Mason County, issued an IFB in March 2026 for 71 fire hydrants in three standard heights (4-foot, 5-foot, and 6-foot units) to support a replacement project, with bidders required to provide itemized unit pricing, delivery timeframes, brand identification, and compliance with attached technical specifications. Issuing bodies under this code include municipalities and county governments sourcing infrastructure components through competitive sealed-bid processes; fire hydrant procurement appears to be a primary use case when activity surfaces under the code.

The code shows limited recent activity in state and local procurement. The Midland/Mason County opportunity in Texas (IFB 26003721, due April 9, 2026) is the only recent solicitation present in the current dataset. The procurement applied Texas Local Government Code provisions for local vendor preference (within five percent of lowest bid) and required standard compliance items including non-collusion statements, workers' compensation insurance, and conflict-of-interest questionnaires, with F.O.B. delivery to Midland and freight prepaid. No set-aside designations for small business, minority, women-owned, or disadvantaged vendors were specified.
