UNSPSC 31311301: Aluminum bolted pipe assemblies

UNSPSC 31311301 Aluminum bolted pipe assemblies (Commodity) shows sparse recent activity that does not align with the code's nominal scope. The three recent opportunities naming this code—the City of Phoenix Public Works supply of industrial pipe, fittings, and equipment (IFB 26-SW-0379, due August 12, 2026); Collier County's SCRWTP Lime Softening Improvements blend tank construction (Bid 26-8683, due July 15, 2026); and Orange County's emergency bridge replacement project (Y26-742, due July 7, 2026)—involve primarily HDPE and PVC piping, ductile iron pipe, reinforced concrete structures, and bridge construction rather than aluminum bolted assemblies. The Fort Worth RFP for structural aluminum, iron, rebar, and steel (RFP 26-0222, due July 23, 2026) is more broadly aligned with materials procurement but does not target bolted pipe assemblies specifically. The Palm Bay outfall pipe replacement project and stormwater pipe rehabilitation RFI, as well as the Santa Clara County pavement rehabilitation project, focus on general infrastructure replacement and do not reference aluminum bolted pipe assemblies.

State and local government procurement under this code does not currently reflect demand for the commodity as named. The issuing bodies span city public works departments (Phoenix, Palm Bay), counties (Collier, Orange), a county transit authority (Fort Worth), and county-level infrastructure authorities, but the recent solicitations are for integrated water, wastewater, stormwater, and roadway systems where piping materials are specified within larger construction scopes rather than procured as discrete components. Geographic activity appears concentrated in Florida (Collier, Orange, Palm Bay) and the Southwest (Phoenix, Fort Worth), with minimal recent opportunities targeting aluminum bolted pipe assemblies directly. Firms pursuing this code should verify alignment with individual RFP scopes, as the recent posting volume does not support consistent demand for the commodity as a standalone procurement item.
