UNSPSC 31282304: Bronze stretch formed components

UNSPSC 31282304 Bronze stretch formed components is a Commodity code that encompasses fire hydrants and related bronze-formed water delivery infrastructure procured by state and local water utilities, municipalities, and public works departments. State and local governments buy finished hydrants conforming to engineering specifications under this code, with deliverables typically specified by height, material composition, connection type, and regulatory compliance standards. The issuing bodies soliciting under the code are municipalities and county water authorities responsible for water system maintenance and replacement.

The City of Midland, Texas, acting on behalf of Mason County, issued an IFB (solicitation 26003721) on March 26, 2026, for 71 fire hydrants across three height variants (45 units of 4-foot, 20 units of 5-foot, and 6 units of 6-foot) with a response deadline of April 9, 2026. Bidders were required to submit itemized unit pricing, descriptive literature, proposed delivery timeframes, and brand identification through the Bonfire e-procurement system, with F.O.B. delivery to the City of Midland and freight prepaid. Texas local preference provisions applied under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051, allowing the City Council to award to a local bidder if pricing fell within five percent of the lowest non-local bid. The procurement documents did not specify an incumbent vendor, total budget, or set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises.
