UNSPSC 31282403: Brass explosive formed components

UNSPSC 31282403 Brass explosive formed components is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure fire hydrants and related water infrastructure components. The recent solicitation activity under this code reflects procurement of standard fire hydrants that meet industry specifications for municipal water systems, rather than ordnance or pyrotechnic components suggested by the code's nominal name. State and local water authorities, municipal public works departments, and counties issue RFQs and IFBs to source these components as part of routine infrastructure maintenance and replacement programs. The work involves identifying vendors meeting technical specifications, negotiating unit pricing for volume deliveries, and managing F.O.B. terms with freight and logistics coordination.

The City of Midland, Texas, acting on behalf of Mason County, issued IFB 26003721 on March 26, 2026, for 71 fire hydrants across three height configurations (45 units of 4-foot, 20 units of 5-foot, and 6 units of 6-foot) under the U25-01 Fire Hydrant Replacement Project, with a response deadline of April 9, 2026. Bidders submit through the Bonfire e-procurement platform with itemized unit pricing, descriptive literature, and delivery timelines, with all hydrants delivered F.O.B. Midland with freight prepaid. Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051 allows local bidders within five percent of the lowest non-local bid to receive preference consideration. No incumbent vendor was identified, and no award value was disclosed in the solicitation documents.
