UNSPSC 31282104: Bronze spin formed components

UNSPSC 31282104 Bronze spin formed components is a Commodity code covering metal components and assemblies manufactured through spin-forming processes, as evidenced by recent state and local purchasing activity focused on fire hydrants and similar infrastructure equipment. The City of Midland, Texas, acting on behalf of Mason County, solicited 71 fire hydrants (45 units of 4-foot, 20 units of 5-foot, and 6 units of 6-foot) conforming to attached technical specifications under IFB 26003721, with F.O.B. delivery to Midland and freight prepaid. State and local governments use this code primarily for procurement of finished metallic assemblies and components that require precision forming, including fire hydrant bodies, valve housings, and related pressure vessels used in municipal water infrastructure and utility systems.

The code shows limited but targeted recent activity. The City of Midland's fire hydrant procurement closed April 9, 2026, through the Bonfire e-procurement system; local-preference provisions under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051 apply, allowing the City Council to award to a local bidder if their price falls within five percent of the lowest non-local bid. No other recent state or local opportunities under this code appear in the source. Texas municipal water and infrastructure agencies represent the primary visible user base, though the sparse recent-opportunities record suggests either narrow application of this specific UNSPSC code to bronze spin-formed work or a low volume of state and local solicitations tagged to it relative to related metallic-component codes.
