UNSPSC 31282106: Copper spin formed components

UNSPSC 31282106 Copper spin formed components is a Commodity code representing metal fabrication and assembly products state and local governments buy for infrastructure and utility applications. The recent activity under this code reflects municipal procurement of engineered metal components—specifically, fire hydrants manufactured through spin-forming or comparable metal-shaping processes—that meet precise technical specifications and conform to industry standards. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code include city procurement offices and county governments acting in partnership with municipal water and utility districts.

The City of Midland, Texas, acting on behalf of Mason County, posted an IFB on March 26, 2026 for 71 fire hydrants under the U25-01 Fire Hydrant Replacement Project with a response deadline of April 9, 2026. The solicitation called for 45 units of 4-foot hydrants, 20 units of 5-foot hydrants, and 6 units of 6-foot hydrants, all F.O.B. Midland with freight prepaid. Bidders were required to submit itemized pricing by unit, descriptive literature, delivery timeframes, and brand and product identification through the Bonfire e-procurement system. Texas local preference provisions applied under Local Government Code Section 271.9051, allowing the City Council to award to a local bidder if the price fell within five percent of the lowest non-local bid. The procurement imposed mandatory workers' compensation insurance requirements and standard bid compliance conditions including non-collusion statements and conflict-of-interest questionnaires.
