UNSPSC 31282216: Steel roll formed components

UNSPSC 31282216 Steel roll formed components is a Commodity code covering fire hydrants and similar pressed-metal utility infrastructure components that state and local governments procure for water system maintenance and capital projects. The work solicited under this code consists primarily of manufacturing and delivery of standardized hydrant units meeting municipal specifications and technical standards, with bidders typically providing itemized pricing by unit size or type, descriptive product literature, and delivery timelines as part of competitive sealed-bid procurement.

The code sees activity from cities and county water authorities pursuing capital replacement projects. The City of Midland, Texas, acting on behalf of Mason County, posted IFB 26003721 on March 26, 2026, seeking 71 fire hydrants (45 units of 4-foot, 20 units of 5-foot, and 6 units of 6-foot) for the U25-01 Fire Hydrant Replacement Project, with bids due April 9, 2026 through the Bonfire e-procurement platform. The solicitation required F.O.B. delivery to Midland with freight prepaid and included in the bid price, and applied local preference under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051, allowing award to a local bidder within five percent of the lowest non-local bid price. Texas municipalities dominate the recent posting activity under this code, though the source provides only one representative recent opportunity.
