UNSPSC 31282218: Titanium roll formed components

UNSPSC 31282218 Titanium roll formed components is a Commodity code that in state and local procurement practice encompasses fire hydrant procurement and related pressurized metal components. The City of Midland, Texas, acting on behalf of Mason County, solicited competitive bids for 71 fire hydrants under an IFB notice (solicitation 26003721, due April 9, 2026), specifying 45 units of 4-foot hydrants, 20 units of 5-foot hydrants, and 6 units of 6-foot hydrants to be delivered F.O.B. Midland with freight prepaid. The work involves sourcing manufactured metal components that meet attached technical specifications, with bidders required to submit itemized pricing, descriptive literature for each item, delivery timeframes in calendar days, and product identification by brand name and product number. Municipal water utilities and county water districts are the primary issuing bodies under this code.

The recent activity is concentrated in Texas, with the Midland–Mason County procurement representing current state and local demand. The City of Midland evaluation criteria are not restricted to price alone; the City reserves the right to award by item or by total bid to either the lowest responsible bidder or the bidder offering best value under Texas Local Government Code Section 252.043, with local preference provisions available under Section 271.9051 when a local bidder's price falls within five percent of the lowest non-local bid. No minority-business or disadvantaged-enterprise set-asides were specified, though workers' compensation insurance and proof of additional-insured status are mandatory post-award requirements within 21 days of contract award.
