UNSPSC 31282217: Tin roll formed components

UNSPSC 31282217 Tin roll formed components is a Commodity code that covers manufactured metal components and assemblies produced through roll-forming processes, though recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows little direct alignment with the nominal scope. The one recent opportunity posted reflects a mismatch: the City of Midland, Texas, acting on behalf of Mason County, solicited bids for fire hydrants in March 2026, a product that involves cast iron and ductile iron components rather than tin roll-formed parts. The fire hydrant procurement itself — 71 units across three height specifications (4-foot, 5-foot, and 6-foot) — falls outside the typical commodity scope and suggests either a tagging error in the state and local procurement system or a rare instance of cross-category classification.

The Midland fire hydrant opportunity, posted March 26, 2026, with bids due April 9, 2026, carries standard municipal procurement features: F.O.B. delivery with freight prepaid and included in the bid price, itemized pricing with unit costs, delivery timeframes specified in calendar days, and brand and product number identification required. Texas local preference provisions apply under Section 271.9051, permitting the City Council to award to a local bidder within five percent of the lowest non-local bid on economic development grounds. Workers' compensation insurance compliance is mandatory, with proof required within 21 days of award. No set-asides for disadvantaged enterprises are specified. The procurement does not name an incumbent vendor, budget range, or award value. No other recent state or local opportunities under this code are present in the source, suggesting limited current solicitation activity aligned with tin roll-formed component manufacturing in the state and local space.
