UNSPSC 31391502: Ceramic standard precision machining

Ceramic objects that have been machined to tolerances equal to or greater than 0.050 mm for major dimensions

UNSPSC 31391502 Ceramic standard precision machining (Commodity) shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The single recent opportunity posted under this code—the City of Midland, Texas procurement (Solicitation 26003721, IFB, due April 9, 2026)—solicits fire hydrants for a municipal water infrastructure replacement project, which diverges substantially from ceramic precision machining work. The hydrant specification does not indicate ceramic machining content or precision machining processes as a primary requirement; the opportunity is functionally a municipal equipment procurement rather than a manufacturing or machining service. The issuing body, the City of Midland acting on behalf of Mason County, is sourcing 71 hydrants across three sizes (4-foot, 5-foot, and 6-foot units) with F.O.B. delivery and prepaid freight included in bid pricing.

Geographic activity is concentrated in Texas, with the single recent opportunity originating from the City of Midland. Texas local preference rules under Section 271.9051 allow bidders within five percent of the lowest non-local bid to qualify for local award consideration, and mandatory compliance requirements include workers' compensation insurance, Non-Collusion Statements, and Conflict of Interest Questionnaires. The procurement documents specify no set-asides for disadvantaged enterprises and identify no incumbent vendor or budget range. This code warrants monitoring for actual precision-machining or ceramic-manufacturing solicitations from state departments, counties, or special-purpose districts, but current posting volume and relevance to the code's nominal scope do not support active pursuit at this time.
