UNSPSC 31282406: Copper explosive formed components

UNSPSC 31282406 Copper explosive formed components is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local procurement activity posted under it does not align with the code's nominal scope. The single recent opportunity on record—a City of Midland, Texas IFB for 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—is a water infrastructure procurement, not an explosive-components sourcing activity. The mismatch suggests either a tagging error in the state and local procurement database or a code that does not reflect current buying patterns in this category. State and local governments procure fire hydrants, pressure-relief valves, and related water-system infrastructure under multiple UNSPSC codes; this particular Commodity code shows no relevant recent activity.

The Midland IFB, posted March 26, 2026 with bids due April 9, 2026, required F.O.B. delivery to the City with freight prepaid and included in the bid price, itemized unit pricing, product literature, and delivery timeframes. The City of Midland reserved the right to award by item or total bid to the lowest responsible bidder or best-value offeror under Texas Local Government Code Section 252.043, with local preference provisions applying if a local bidder's price fell within five percent of the lowest non-local bid. Bidders were required to execute a Non-Collusion Statement, provide workers' compensation insurance with the City named as additional insured within 21 days of award, and acknowledge mandatory bid waivers related to attorney's fees and breach-claim notice. No set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises were specified. Because this code shows little relevant recent activity and the posted opportunity does not reflect the code's stated scope, the category appears inactive for state and local procurement purposes.
