UNSPSC 31282212: Non ferrous alloy roll formed components

UNSPSC 31282212 Non ferrous alloy roll formed components is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local procurement activity, encompasses fire hydrants and related water infrastructure components manufactured from non-ferrous alloys. State and local governments solicit these components primarily through cities and county water or public works departments acting in their administrative capacity. The City of Midland, Texas, on behalf of Mason County, recently solicited 71 fire hydrants — comprising 45 units of 4-foot models, 20 units of 5-foot models, and 6 units of 6-foot models — all conforming to attached technical specifications. Bidders must submit itemized pricing with unit prices and extended totals, provide descriptive literature, specify delivery timeframes in calendar days, identify the brand name and product number, and deliver F.O.B. to the city with freight prepaid and included in the bid price. Workers' compensation insurance and proof of coverage within 21 days of award are mandatory; the city reserves the right to award by item or total bid to the lowest responsible bidder or the bidder offering best value under Texas Local Government Code Section 252.043.

The recent activity under this code is concentrated in Texas, with the Midland-Mason County procurement representing the primary visible opportunity. The City of Midland issued an IFB (Solicitation 26003721) for the U25-01 Fire Hydrant Replacement Project with a response deadline of April 9, 2026. Local preference provisions apply under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051, permitting the City Council to award to a local bidder whose price falls within five percent of the lowest non-local bid if economic development considerations, including local employment and tax revenues, support that selection. No set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises were specified, though bidders seeking local preference consideration must complete an Affidavit of Eligibility. No incumbent vendor, current contractor, or award value range is identified in the procurement documents.
