UNSPSC 20143602: Subsea flexible pipe or pipeline

Technically challenging, multi-layer structure of helically wound metallic wires and tapes and extruded thermoplastics designed to form a structure that addresses the specific environmental requirements and characteristics of the transported fluids

UNSPSC 20143602 Subsea flexible pipe or pipeline is a Commodity code that covers pressurized piping systems and related equipment for water and wastewater applications, though recent state and local solicitations show activity focused primarily on water well column pipe supply, well development and drilling services, and specialized equipment installation rather than subsea applications. State and local water utilities, county water and wastewater departments, and municipal water systems are the primary issuing bodies. The scope of work encompasses procurement of new steel well column pipes conforming to industry standards (ASTM A53 Grade B Schedule 30) in multiple diameters with epoxy coating and NSF compliance, as well as broader water well services including drilling, casing installation, well development, and maintenance contracts. Hillsborough County in Florida has emerged as a repeat buyer, issuing separate solicitations for water well maintenance and repair services and for proprietary aeration system installation and supply.

Geographic activity concentrates in Florida, California, and Georgia based on recent postings. Broward County, Florida issued ITB OPN2131840B1 in June 2026 for supply and delivery of new well column pipes on an open-end indefinite-quantity contract with small business enterprise and county business enterprise procurement preferences and local preference provisions; Hillsborough County issued ITB2600234 in May 2026 for water well maintenance and repair services across 67 county irrigation and potable wells estimated at $688,073 over two years; and Hillsborough County issued sole-source procurement SS2600397 in September 2026 for Wet Well Wizard aeration system installation and maintenance with an estimated value of $5.371 million over five years. San Bernardino County Department of Public Works solicited well drilling and development services for Prado Regional Park in September 2026, and the Unified Government of Athens-Clarke County, Georgia requested bids for automatic strainer replacement at a water reclamation facility in May 2026. The code shows little activity matching the subsea or offshore scope implied by its nominal title; recent state and local procurement under this code centers on onshore municipal water and wastewater infrastructure.
