UNSPSC 31282117: Tin spin formed components

UNSPSC 31282117 Tin spin formed components is a Commodity code, yet the recent state and local activity tagged under it centers on fire hydrant procurement rather than tin spinning or metal forming. The City of Midland, Texas, acting on behalf of Mason County, solicited competitive bids in March 2026 for 71 fire hydrants across three sizes (45 units of 4-foot, 20 units of 5-foot, and 6 units of 6-foot) as part of the U25-01 Fire Hydrant Replacement Project. This mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being bought suggests that the code shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. Fire hydrant procurement—a water infrastructure purchase—does not align with tin spin formed components as a product category.

The single recent opportunity on record is the Midland, Texas IFB with a response deadline of April 9, 2026, submitted through the Bonfire e-procurement system. Bidders were required to provide itemized unit pricing, descriptive literature, delivery timeframes, and brand/product identification, with all hydrants delivered F.O.B. Midland at the City's cost and risk. Texas local preference rules applied, allowing the City Council to award to a local bidder if their bid fell within five percent of the lowest non-local price. No set-aside designations were specified. The procurement documents did not identify an incumbent vendor or budget value. Given the absence of other recent opportunities and the categorical mismatch between the code name and the fire hydrant solicitation, this code does not appear to be an active focus for state and local procurement in 2026.
