UNSPSC 31282307: Ferrous alloy stretch formed components

UNSPSC 31282307 Ferrous alloy stretch formed components is a Commodity code capturing metallic infrastructure components that state and local governments procure for water utility, municipal infrastructure, and emergency services applications. State and local buying under this code centers on engineered ferrous products manufactured to conform to published technical standards and specifications, with recent activity showing municipalities and water authorities soliciting fire hydrants and related cast or formed metal components for distribution system replacements and upgrades.

The City of Midland, Texas, acting on behalf of Mason County, posted an IFB on March 26, 2026 (solicitation 26003721) seeking 71 fire hydrants — specifically 45 units of 4-foot hydrants, 20 units of 5-foot hydrants, and 6 units of 6-foot hydrants — for the U25-01 Fire Hydrant Replacement Project, with bids due April 9, 2026 through the Bonfire e-procurement system. The solicitation required itemized unit pricing, descriptive literature, delivery timeframes, and brand identification; all hydrants were to be delivered F.O.B. to Midland with freight prepaid and included in the bid price. Texas local preference provisions applied under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051, allowing the City Council to award to a local bidder if its price fell within five percent of the lowest non-local bid. Bidders were required to execute a Non-Collusion Statement, provide workers' compensation insurance with the City named as additional insured within 21 days of award, and comply with mandatory conflict-of-interest and eligibility affidavit requirements. No set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises were specified, and no incumbent vendor, budget range, or award value was identified in the procurement documents.
