UNSPSC 31282315: Stainless steel stretch formed components

UNSPSC 31282315 Stainless steel stretch formed components is a Commodity code that in recent state and local procurement primarily captures fire hydrants and related water-infrastructure components used by municipalities for utility system replacements and maintenance. The City of Midland, Texas, acting on behalf of Mason County, represents the type of issuing body procuring under this code—municipal water and utility departments managing infrastructure renewal projects. The work involves sourcing manufactured metal components that meet standardized technical specifications, with suppliers required to provide detailed product literature, unit pricing, and delivery timelines to support competitive procurement processes.

The code shows recent activity in Texas, with the primary represented opportunity being the Midland IFB (Invitation for Bid) 26003721 for 71 fire hydrants in three configurations (45 units of 4-foot, 20 units of 5-foot, and 6 units of 6-foot hydrants), due April 9, 2026, through the Bonfire e-procurement platform. Deliveries are F.O.B. Midland with freight prepaid and included in bid pricing. Bidders must provide itemized unit and extended pricing, descriptive literature, delivery schedules in calendar days, and brand and product identification. The City reserves award discretion under Texas Local Government Code Section 252.043 and extends local preference protections under Section 271.9051—bids from local vendors within five percent of the lowest non-local price may be selected on economic development grounds. All bidders must execute a Non-Collusion Statement, provide proof of workers' compensation insurance within 21 days of award, and name the City as additional insured. No set-asides or restricted enterprise designations apply to this solicitation.
