UNSPSC 31311413: Brass ultra violet welded pipe assemblies

UNSPSC 31311413 Brass ultra violet welded pipe assemblies is a Commodity code that nominally describes welded brass pipe subassemblies, but recent state and local procurements tagged with this code bear little connection to that specification. The City of Phoenix Water Services Department solicited water pipe and miscellaneous fittings under IFB260217, Orange County, Florida sought sewer pipes and fittings under Y26-126, and the City of Palm Bay issued an ITB for outfall pipe replacement (41ITB26) — all of which involve standard piping materials (PVC, ductile iron, HDPE) and fittings for municipal water and wastewater systems rather than welded brass assemblies. The School Board of Sarasota County solicited time-and-materials plumbing services (260038), the Alameda County Water District sought copper tubing in specific gauge and roll dimensions (IFB252636), and Pasco County requested large copper sulfate crystals and liquid copper sulfate (RFQFP261004), none of which align with ultraviolet welding or brass pipe subassemblies. The code shows little relevant recent activity; the tagging appears to reflect a systematic misclassification of general piping and plumbing procurement across multiple Florida and California jurisdictions rather than a genuine market for welded brass pipe assemblies.

State and local buyers using this code include municipal water and wastewater utilities (City of Phoenix Water Services, Orange County Utilities Division), public works departments (City of Palm Bay, Barnwell County), school districts (School Board of Sarasota County), and regional water agencies (Alameda County Water District). Activity is concentrated in Florida and California, with secondary opportunities in Arizona and South Carolina. No representative recent solicitations for brass ultraviolet welded pipe assemblies exist in the source; the code's application to industrial construction and infrastructure contracts masks a fundamental mismatch between the commodity definition and actual procurement scope. Prospective vendors should verify the correct UNSPSC classification before pursuing opportunities tagged to this code.
