UNSPSC 31282109: Lead spin formed components

UNSPSC 31282109 Lead spin formed components is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure fire hydrants and related water-infrastructure components. The City of Midland, Texas, acting on behalf of Mason County, recently solicited 71 fire hydrants—45 units of 4-foot hydrants, 20 units of 5-foot hydrants, and 6 units of 6-foot hydrants—all conforming to attached technical specifications. The code encompasses fabricated metal components suitable for municipal water systems and fire protection infrastructure. Issuing bodies soliciting under this code include municipal water departments and county purchasing offices managing infrastructure replacement programs; the Midland procurement is representative of city-level activity in water and utility systems maintenance.

The geographic spread of recent activity centers on Texas, where Midland's U25-01 Fire Hydrant Replacement Project represents current municipal capital-improvement procurement. The City of Midland issued the opportunity (Solicitation 26003721) as an IFB with a due date of April 9, 2026, requiring itemized pricing with unit prices and extended totals, descriptive product literature, proposed delivery timeframes, and brand and product-number identification. Delivery is F.O.B. Midland with freight prepaid and included in the bid price; the City reserves the right to award by item or total bid to the lowest responsible bidder or best-value proposer under Texas Local Government Code Section 252.043. Local preference applies under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051, allowing the City Council to award to a local bidder if price falls within five percent of the lowest non-local bid. No set-asides for disadvantaged enterprises are specified. Bidders must submit via the Bonfire e-procurement system and comply with non-collusion, conflict-of-interest, and workers' compensation insurance requirements, with proof of insurance due within 21 days of award.
