UNSPSC 31311213: Brass riveted pipe assemblies

UNSPSC 31311213 Brass riveted pipe assemblies (Commodity) does not align with actual state and local procurement activity under this code. Recent opportunities tagged to 31311213 seek HDPE and PVC industrial piping, stormwater infrastructure, waterline replacement, bridge construction, and copper tubing — none of which are brass riveted pipe assemblies. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and what jurisdictions are actually buying signals either a cataloging error in the source data or inconsistent tagging practices across issuing bodies.

The most active buyers are city governments and special districts in the Southeast and Southwest, particularly the City of Phoenix Public Works Department (which has posted multiple IFBs for industrial pipe and fittings supply), the City of Augusta Georgia (seeking HDPE pipe and couplings via ITB), Barnwell County South Carolina (waterline replacement), Orange County and the City of Palm Bay in Florida (stormwater and bridge work), and the Alameda County Water District in California (copper tubing). Recent procurements include the City of Phoenix's IFB 27SW0447 (industrial pipe, HDPE 1.5" to 24", PVC 0.75" to 4", fittings, firm-fixed pricing for three years with two optional one-year extensions, response deadline September 30, 2026), the City of Augusta's ITB 27-116 (HDPE pipe, couplings, end sections in sizes 8" to 36", as-needed basis with one-year initial term and four renewal options, due September 29, 2026), and the City of Palm Bay's ITB 41ITB26 for I-95 Outfall Pipe Replacement (drainage and environmental compliance restoration, lump-sum with monthly progress payments, due July 14, 2026). Because the code shows no substantive recent activity in brass riveted pipe assemblies, skip this category unless you have specific intelligence that a jurisdiction plans to procure such assemblies under a different code or outside standard UNSPSC tagging.
