UNSPSC 31282102: Beryllium spin formed components

UNSPSC 31282102 Beryllium spin formed components is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local procurement activity recorded under it does not align with its nominal scope. The City of Midland, Texas, acting on behalf of Mason County, issued an IFB (solicitation 26003721) in March 2026 for 71 fire hydrants — specifically 45 units of 4-foot hydrants, 20 units of 5-foot hydrants, and 6 units of 6-foot hydrants — conforming to attached technical specifications. This procurement is a utility infrastructure replacement project, not a beryllium or spin-formed component acquisition, suggesting a tagging mismatch between the code assignment and the actual work being bought. The code shows minimal recent relevant activity in state and local procurement channels.

The Midland / Mason County fire hydrant procurement closed April 9, 2026, with bids submitted through the Bonfire e-procurement system. Bidders were required to provide itemized unit pricing, descriptive literature, proposed delivery timeframes in calendar days, brand names, and product numbers, with F.O.B. delivery to the City of Midland and freight prepaid. Texas local preference provisions applied under Local Government Code Section 271.9051, allowing the City Council to award to a local bidder if that bidder's price fell within five percent of the lowest non-local bid. No DBE, MBE, WBE, or other set-aside designations were specified. The procurement documents did not identify an incumbent vendor, budget, or award value.
