UNSPSC 31311201: Aluminum riveted pipe assemblies

UNSPSC 31311201 Aluminum riveted pipe assemblies, a Commodity code, does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity tagged to it. The code's nominal scope—specialized aluminum piping components—has no representation in the posted solicitations, which instead cover industrial pipe supply (HDPE, PVC), water treatment plant construction, bridge replacement, pavement rehabilitation, stormwater infrastructure, and fence-with-irrigation projects. State and local procurement offices are using this code to tag construction and infrastructure work, not aluminum riveted assemblies.

The posted opportunities span Florida (Collier County, Orange County, Palm Bay), Arizona (City of Phoenix), Georgia (City of Augusta), California (Santa Clara County), and Texas (City of Fort Worth), with Collier County appearing most frequently across lime softening improvements, sports complex construction, boardwalk repairs, and perimeter fencing. Collier County alone accounts for five recent bids totaling approximately $18 million in combined anticipated project budgets. Issuing bodies include county governments, cities, and special-purpose water treatment authorities. Representative recent opportunities include Collier County's Immokalee Sports Complex Phase 1A & 1B (IFB 26-8703, $6.24 million, bids due November 2, 2026), City of Phoenix's Supply of Industrial Pipe, Miscellaneous Fittings, and Equipment (IFB 27-SW-0447 and 26-SW-0379, three-year terms commencing December 2026, HDPE and PVC pipe covering airport operations), and City of Augusta's Various Pipe, Coupling & End Sections (ITB 27-116, HDPE products for drainage, September 29, 2026 due date). The mismatch between code definition and actual solicitation scope suggests either miscoding by issuing bodies or that the code has been repurposed locally to encompass broader industrial piping categories. Pursue only if your firm supplies HDPE, PVC, or ductile iron pipe to state and local water, aviation, and transportation authorities; the code as posted does not reflect aluminum riveted assembly demand.
