UNSPSC 31282313: Non metallic stretch formed components

UNSPSC 31282313 Non metallic stretch formed components is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure fire hydrants and related water-system infrastructure components fabricated from non-metallic materials. The City of Midland, Texas, acting on behalf of Mason County, recently solicited competitive bids for 71 fire hydrants under the U25-01 Fire Hydrant Replacement Project, comprising 45 units of 4-foot hydrants, 20 units of 5-foot hydrants, and 6 units of 6-foot hydrants, all conforming to attached technical specifications. The scope of work under this code centers on the supply and delivery of finished fire hydrant assemblies that meet American Water Works Association (AWWA) or equivalent municipal standards, with bidders required to specify brand names, product numbers, delivery timeframes, and F.O.B. pricing inclusive of freight and unloading to designated city locations. Issuing bodies under the code include municipal water departments and county water authorities responsible for infrastructure replacement and maintenance programs.

The Midland-Mason County opportunity, posted March 26, 2026 with an April 9, 2026 bid deadline, represents a competitive IFB through the Bonfire e-procurement platform, with evaluation criteria permitting award to the lowest responsible bidder or the bidder offering best value under Texas Local Government Code Section 252.043. Texas local preference provisions apply, allowing local bidders within five percent of the lowest non-local bid to receive consideration for economic development reasons. The procurement imposes mandatory compliance requirements including a Non-Collusion Statement, workers' compensation insurance with the City named as additional insured, and Conflict of Interest Questionnaire submission if applicable. Recent state and local activity under this code shows limited visibility beyond this Texas opportunity; the narrow band of available recent solicitations suggests either specialized procurement timing tied to infrastructure replacement cycles or concentrated activity in particular regions.
