UNSPSC 31282119: Zinc spin formed components

UNSPSC 31282119 Zinc spin formed components, a Commodity code, encompasses metal water infrastructure components that state and local governments procure for utility system maintenance and replacement, particularly fire hydrants and related distribution equipment. The single recent opportunity shows fire hydrant procurement dominating the code's activity — the City of Midland, Texas, on behalf of Mason County, issued an IFB on March 26, 2026, for 71 fire hydrants across three height specifications (4-foot, 5-foot, and 6-foot units) to be delivered F.O.B. to Midland with all freight costs included in the bid price. Bidders must supply itemized unit pricing, product literature, and specified delivery timeframes through the Bonfire e-procurement system. Municipal water utilities and county water districts represent the primary buying bodies under this code, with procurement typically driven by asset replacement and maintenance cycles rather than new infrastructure expansion.

The code shows limited recent activity concentrated in Texas, with the Midland-Mason County opportunity representing the sole current solicitation in the dataset. The April 9, 2026, response deadline on the Midland IFB reflects a standard municipal procurement cycle. Evaluation will proceed under Texas Local Government Code Section 252.043 with potential award to either the lowest responsible bidder or the best-value proposer; local preference under Section 271.9051 applies, allowing the City Council to favor a local bidder whose price falls within five percent of the lowest non-local bid. No MBE, WBE, SBE, or other set-aside designations are specified. The procurement documents do not identify an incumbent vendor, award value, or budget ceiling.
