UNSPSC 31282405: Composite explosive formed components

UNSPSC 31282405 Composite explosive formed components is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local activity, does not see solicitations aligned with its nominal scope. The single recent opportunity tagged under this code is a fire hydrant procurement by the City of Midland, Texas, acting on behalf of Mason County, seeking 71 fire hydrants (45 units of 4-foot, 20 units of 5-foot, and 6 units of 6-foot) under the U25-01 Fire Hydrant Replacement Project. Fire hydrants are utility infrastructure assets, not composite explosive formed components, indicating a classification mismatch between the code and the work actually being solicited. State and local procurement databases occasionally apply codes that do not reflect the true nature of the goods or services being bought; this code shows little relevant recent activity under its stated definition.

The Midland procurement, the only recent opportunity on record, was solicited as an IFB with a response deadline of April 9, 2026, through the Bonfire e-procurement system. Bidders were required to submit itemized pricing, product literature, delivery timeframes, and brand specifications, with all hydrants delivered F.O.B. to Midland and freight prepaid. Texas local preference provisions apply, permitting award to a local bidder if their price falls within five percent of the lowest non-local bid. Workers' compensation insurance and proof of coverage within 21 days of award are mandatory. No set-asides for disadvantaged enterprises were specified. Given the mismatch between the code's definition and the actual procurement, and the absence of other recent opportunities under this Commodity code, activity under 31282405 for state and local government procurement purposes appears minimal or absent.
