UNSPSC 73181006: Stamping services

UNSPSC 73181006 Stamping services is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The City of Lubbock, Texas, has posted two identical or near-identical ITB notices (posted May 12 and May 27, 2026, both with response deadline May 27, 2026) for a replacement rate of flow controller and butterfly valve assembly for potable water treatment — equipment procurement and assembly, not stamping services. The solicitation calls for factory-assembled and tested flow-measurement and valve-regulation equipment conforming to ASTM A536 cast iron specifications, AWWA C504 butterfly valve standards, and NSF 61 potable-water epoxy coating, with all components delivered factory-tested to within 0.5 percent flow-rate accuracy. The City supplies installation; vendors supply equipment only, printed and digital operation and maintenance manuals, and site-delivered F.O.B. pricing firm for sixty days. The code's nominal scope — metal stamping — does not describe this work.

The issuing body is the City of Lubbock, a municipal procurement office. No other state or local governments appear in the recent-opportunities block, and no geographic spread beyond Texas emerges from the available data. A non-mandatory site visit was scheduled for May 20, 2026, at the North Water Treatment Plant; sealed bids were due by 3:00 p.m. May 27, 2026, through Bonfire or hand delivery to Marta Alvarez, Director of Purchasing and Contract Management. The City applies a local-vendor price preference (within five percent of the lowest non-resident bid) for contracts under $500,000 when best value is found locally. Vendors must complete suspension and debarment certification, Iran sanctions and Israel boycott compliance, submit three project references, a notarized non-collusion affidavit, and conflict-of-interest disclosures within seven business days. No budget or award value is specified. The code shows no substantive recent activity aligned with its stated scope.
