UNSPSC 31282116: Steel spin formed components

UNSPSC 31282116 Steel spin formed components is a Commodity code describing manufactured metal components that state and local governments buy primarily as finished goods or integrated assemblies for infrastructure and utility projects. The City of Midland, Texas, acting on behalf of Mason County, recently solicited 71 fire hydrants under this classification—45 units of 4-foot hydrants, 20 units of 5-foot hydrants, and 6 units of 6-foot hydrants, all conforming to specified technical standards. Fire hydrants represent the primary documented use case for this code in recent state and local procurement activity, where spin-formed steel components serve as the structural and operational basis of the finished product. The code spans manufacturing and procurement of standardized metal assemblies that municipalities and counties use to replace or expand water infrastructure systems.

The single recent opportunity identified—City of Midland IFB 26003721, with a response deadline of April 9, 2026—reflects activity in Texas. Bidders were required to submit itemized pricing with unit prices, descriptive literature, proposed delivery timeframes, and brand identification through the Bonfire e-procurement system. The City reserved 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, with local preference provisions available if a local bidder's price fell within five percent of the lowest non-local bid. F.O.B. delivery to Midland with freight prepaid was mandatory, and all bidders had to comply with non-collusion statements, conflict-of-interest questionnaires, and proof of workers' compensation insurance. No set-asides for disadvantaged enterprises were specified in the procurement documents. Beyond this Texas hydrant procurement, the source does not identify additional recent state and local solicitations under this code.
