UNSPSC 31391601: Plastic medium precision machining

Plastic objects that have been machined to tolerances equal to or greater than 0.020 mm for major dimensions

UNSPSC 31391601 Plastic medium precision machining is a Commodity code that state and local governments are actually using to procure fire hydrants and related water-infrastructure components. The code encompasses manufactured goods requiring precision tolerances and material specifications, typically supplied through competitive solicitations where bidders provide unit pricing, product literature, and delivery terms. Recent activity shows municipal water departments and county authorities issuing IFBs (Invitation for Bid) for these components, with solicitations requiring compliance with technical specifications, delivery schedules, and insurance requirements before award.

The City of Midland, Texas, acting on behalf of Mason County, issued solicitation 26003721 on March 26, 2026, for 71 fire hydrants in three heights (45 units at 4-foot, 20 units at 5-foot, and 6 units at 6-foot) under its U25-01 Fire Hydrant Replacement Project, with bids due April 9, 2026. Bidders must submit itemized pricing with unit prices, descriptive product literature, delivery timeframes, and brand/model identification, with all hydrants delivered F.O.B. Midland freight-prepaid. The solicitation applies Texas local-preference provisions allowing the City Council to award to a local bidder if pricing falls within five percent of the lowest non-local bid, based on economic development criteria including local employment and tax revenues. No federal set-asides apply, but bidders must execute a Non-Collusion Statement, submit conflict-of-interest documentation if applicable, provide proof of workers' compensation insurance within 21 days of award, and acknowledge specific bid waivers. The procurement documents do not identify an incumbent vendor or specify a budget range.
