UNSPSC 31282013: Non metallic hydro formed components

UNSPSC 31282013 Non metallic hydro formed components is a Commodity code covering ductile iron and composite fire hydrants and related hydrant components procured by municipalities and water authorities for water infrastructure replacement and maintenance. The code captures products that state and local governments source for utility distribution systems, where hydrant procurement typically involves competitive bidding against technical specifications and delivery requirements. Issuing bodies under this code include city purchasing offices and county water districts acting directly or on behalf of regional water systems.

The City of Midland, Texas, acting on behalf of Mason County, posted a competitive IFB on March 26, 2026 (solicitation 26003721, due April 9, 2026) for 71 fire hydrants totaling 45 units of 4-foot hydrants, 20 units of 5-foot hydrants, and 6 units of 6-foot hydrants to support the U25-01 Fire Hydrant Replacement Project. Bidders submitted itemized pricing with unit prices, descriptive literature, delivery timeframes in calendar days, and brand identification through the Bonfire e-procurement system. The City applied Texas local preference provisions under Section 271.9051, permitting award to a local bidder within five percent of the lowest non-local bid, while all bidders were required to execute Non-Collusion Statements, maintain workers' compensation insurance, and comply with conflict-of-interest and eligibility affidavits. Recent activity under this code centers in Texas, with limited visibility into activity in other states or regions from available procurement records.
