UNSPSC 73181203: Roll forming services

UNSPSC 73181203 Roll forming services is a Commodity code that encompasses the manufacture and assembly of custom metal components shaped through roll-forming processes, including fabrication of control equipment housings, valve bodies, and structural metal parts for industrial and municipal infrastructure applications. State and local governments procuring under this code buy finished metal assemblies and equipment components for water treatment plants, utilities infrastructure, and public works projects. The issuing bodies are primarily municipal purchasing departments and water utilities, with occasional participation from county governments and special-purpose districts serving regional infrastructure needs.

The City of Lubbock, Texas dominates recent activity under this code, with multiple iterations of ITB 26-19653-YB posted in May 2026 for a replacement rate of flow controller and butterfly valve assembly for the North Water Treatment Plant—a 16-inch venturi-type controller with cast iron body to ASTM A536 Grade 65-45-12 specifications and Type 316 stainless steel throat liner, paired with an AWWA C504-compliant butterfly valve, all factory-assembled and tested to 0.5 percent accuracy within a 46.5-inch maximum space envelope. Sealed bids closed May 27, 2026, with a non-mandatory site visit offered May 20, 2026. A separate micro-purchase opportunity from the City of Philadelphia (B2626859, posted April 10, 2026, due April 24, 2026) for OVA Storage with a quote ceiling of $43,000 shows limited relevance to roll-forming scope. Geographic activity centers on Texas, with secondary representation in Pennsylvania; the code appears to see episodic solicitation rather than sustained procurement volume across multiple jurisdictions.
