UNSPSC 31282107: Ferrous alloy spin formed components

UNSPSC 31282107 Ferrous alloy spin formed components is a Commodity code covering metal-spun components used in municipal water and fire protection infrastructure. State and local governments procure under this code primarily through water utilities and public works departments purchasing fire hydrants and related spinned metal assemblies conforming to AWWA and NFPA standards. The sourcing base includes both specialized hydrant manufacturers and general metal fabricators capable of precision spin-forming operations. Municipal water systems and fire departments drive demand through planned replacement cycles and infrastructure modernization projects, typically via competitive sealed bids with delivery FOB to specified municipal locations.

Activity under the code centers on Texas municipal procurement. The City of Midland, Texas, on behalf of Mason County, issued an IFB (Solicitation 26003721) on March 26, 2026 for 71 fire hydrants under the U25-01 Fire Hydrant Replacement Project, with bids due April 9, 2026; the solicitation specified 45 units of 4-foot hydrants, 20 units of 5-foot hydrants, and 6 units of 6-foot hydrants, with delivery FOB Midland and freight prepaid. Bidders must comply with Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051 local preference provisions (local bidders within five percent of the lowest non-local price may receive award consideration) and provide proof of workers' compensation insurance within 21 days of contract award. No dollar value was specified in the procurement documents, and no set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises were applied.
