UNSPSC 31390000: Machinings

Objects formed by the removal of material from an initial shape, using various powered material removal processes, to achieve a desired shape

UNSPSC 31390000 Machinings is a Family code encompassing machined metal components and assembled equipment produced through precision manufacturing processes. State and local governments buy machined parts and assemblies under this code — primarily standardized infrastructure equipment including fire hydrants, valves, fittings, and similar metal-fabricated products that require close tolerances and technical conformance to published specifications. Municipalities and county water and utility departments are the primary issuing bodies, procuring replacement equipment and infrastructure components on a competitive basis. The scope typically includes items delivered F.O.B. to the customer location with freight prepaid, compliance with detailed technical specifications and industry standards, provision of descriptive product literature, and itemized unit pricing. Bidders commonly must demonstrate insurance compliance and, depending on state law, may face local preference evaluation windows when their prices fall within specified thresholds of the lowest non-local offer.

Recent activity under the code is limited; the most visible opportunity is the City of Midland, Texas acting on behalf of Mason County, which posted an IFB (solicitation 26003721) on March 26, 2026 for 71 fire hydrants in three size configurations (4-foot, 5-foot, and 6-foot units) under the U25-01 Fire Hydrant Replacement Project, with bids due April 9, 2026 through the Bonfire e-procurement system. Texas represents the identifiable recent activity under this code, though the dataset shows limited broader geographic spread or repeat issuing-body patterns. Local preference provisions under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051 apply to qualifying bids, and no disadvantaged-enterprise set-asides are noted in current solicitations.
