UNSPSC 31351513: Brass bolted tube assemblies

UNSPSC 31351513 Brass bolted tube assemblies is a Commodity code covering brass fittings and related components that state and local water utilities procure for distribution system repairs and maintenance. The City of Arlington, Texas, recently solicited an annual requirements contract for brass water repair parts including service line fittings, accessories, and tapping saddles for warehouse stock replenishment, signaling active demand for these components within municipal water infrastructure operations. Issuing bodies under this code are typically water departments and utilities within cities and counties that maintain potable water distribution systems; the recent activity reflects single-jurisdiction procurement rather than multi-jurisdiction cooperative purchasing, though water authorities across different jurisdictions face similar repair-parts requirements.

The City of Arlington's RFQ (Solicitation 270041), posted September 23, 2026, with a response deadline of October 22, 2026, represents the primary recent opportunity under this code. The solicitation requires electronic submission strongly encouraged, with paper bids accepted only in sealed envelopes labeled with company name, solicitation number, and title; Arlington uses Euna Procurement exclusively for solicitation distribution and addenda, and bids received outside that channel risk non-compliance due to missing specifications or amendments. Geographic activity appears concentrated in Texas, though the code likely sees broader activity in other states with significant municipal water systems; the sparse recent-opportunity block suggests this is a narrowly specialized commodity with episodic procurement rather than consistent high-volume activity.
