UNSPSC 31282316: Steel stretch formed components

UNSPSC 31282316 Steel stretch formed components is a Commodity code that state and local governments use to procure fire hydrants and related metal-fabricated infrastructure components. The City of Midland, Texas, acting on behalf of Mason County, recently solicited 71 fire hydrants (45 units of 4-foot, 20 units of 5-foot, and 6 units of 6-foot models) under the U25-01 Fire Hydrant Replacement Project, with bids due April 9, 2026. Hydrants procured under this code must meet attached technical specifications, be delivered F.O.B. to the City with freight prepaid, and include detailed unit pricing and product identification. Bidders compete on lowest responsible bid or best value under Texas Local Government Code Section 252.043; the City reserves the right to award by item or by total bid. Local preference applies under Texas law — if a local bidder's price falls within five percent of the lowest non-local bid, the City Council may award to the local bidder based on economic development considerations such as local employment and tax revenues.

The source shows limited recent activity under this code, with only one state-local opportunity identified. The City of Midland, a Texas municipal government, is the primary issuing body in the available record. Bidders must meet mandatory requirements including a Non-Collusion Statement, Conflict of Interest Questionnaire if applicable, and an Affidavit of Eligibility for local preference consideration; all contractors must maintain workers' compensation insurance and provide proof within 21 days of award. The procurement documents do not identify a budget range, award value, or incumbent vendor.
