UNSPSC 31282200: Roll formed components

UNSPSC 31282200 Roll formed components is a Class code covering the procurement of fabricated metal products, including fire hydrants and related water-system infrastructure components that state and local governments source through competitive bidding. The City of Midland, Texas, acting on behalf of Mason County, exemplifies the typical issuing body under this code — municipalities and counties procuring utility infrastructure and replacement equipment through formal RFQ and IFB notice processes. State and local water departments, public works agencies, and municipal utilities dominate purchasing under the code, acquiring items that meet published technical specifications and delivery requirements.

The code shows recent activity in Texas, where Midland's U25-01 Fire Hydrant Replacement Project (Solicitation 26003721, due April 9, 2026) sought 71 fire hydrants in three standard sizes — 4-foot, 5-foot, and 6-foot units — with F.O.B. delivery prepaid to the city. Bidders must submit itemized unit pricing, product literature, delivery timelines, and brand and part-number details through the Bonfire e-procurement platform, with evaluation under Texas Local Government Code Section 252.043 favoring either lowest-responsive or best-value award. Local preference provisions apply, allowing the city to award within five percent of the lowest bid if a local bidder qualifies. No federal set-asides are specified, though Texas mandates workers' compensation insurance proof within 21 days of award and standard non-collusion and conflict-of-interest documentation.
