UNSPSC 31311312: Copper bolted pipe assemblies

UNSPSC 31311312 Copper bolted pipe assemblies is a Commodity code. State and local governments procure industrial pipe, fittings, and assemblies under this code primarily for water and stormwater infrastructure maintenance and replacement. Recent solicitations show demand for HDPE and PVC pipe in multiple diameters, coupling assemblies, bends, elbows, tees, and related fittings supplied on an as-needed basis to support municipal water systems, airports, and utility departments. The City of Phoenix Public Works Department and the City of Augusta, Georgia have posted multiple recent opportunities seeking industrial pipe and fittings assemblies; Phoenix has issued two solicitations within the past two months for supply of HDPE and PVC pipe with fittings ranging from 0.75 inches to 24 inches in diameter, reflecting sustained demand from repeat buyers. Issuing bodies include city public works departments, county utilities, and water authorities procuring on both firm fixed-price and unit-price bases with three-to-five-year contract terms and multiple renewal options.

Recent activity concentrates in the Southeast and Southwest. The City of Phoenix (Arizona) issued IFB 27-SW-0447 posted September 30, 2026, seeking industrial pipe, miscellaneous fittings, and equipment for three years commencing December 1, 2026, with delivery required within 24 to 48 hours from purchase order receipt; the City of Augusta, Georgia issued ITB 27-116 posted September 10, 2026, due September 29, 2026, for HDPE pipe and couplings in eight-inch to 36-inch diameters priced per linear foot, with 60-day delivery and one-year initial term plus four optional one-year renewals. Both Phoenix solicitations require contractors to maintain local inventory and provide over-the-counter purchasing capability with 24-hour emergency contact availability. The City of Southlake, Texas issued RFP 2601B400CH260010 in July 2026 for utility parts and supplies, with awards anticipated to multiple qualified vendors on a category basis.
