UNSPSC 20122005: Test nipples

UNSPSC 20122005 Test nipples is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local solicitation activity, encompasses components and fittings for water infrastructure systems, including nipples and connectors used in well construction, pump installation, and piping assemblies. The code appears in procurement for municipal water utility projects where specialized piping connections and testing components are required as part of larger well development and conditioning work. State and local water authorities and county utility departments are the primary issuing bodies under this code, pursuing both standalone component procurement and integrated infrastructure modernization projects that bundle equipment, installation, and testing services.

Collier County, Florida, represents the most recent activity under this code. In August 2025, Collier County issued an IFB (Bid No. 25-8418) for the NRO Wells 118N and 120N Improvements project, a $2,900,000 water infrastructure upgrade that includes pump installation, piping systems, electrical infrastructure, instrumentation, controls, and well conditioning—work that directly incorporates test nipples and related fittings as component elements. The IFB closed October 8, 2025, with a non-mandatory pre-bid meeting held September 10, 2025. The project required substantial completion within 365 calendar days from Notice to Proceed, with liquidated damages assessed at $1,201 per calendar day for delay. Beyond this single recent posting, the source provides no additional state and local opportunities tagged under this code, indicating limited current solicitation volume in the broader state and local procurement market for test nipples as a standalone or primary commodity.
