UNSPSC 31311701: Aluminum bonded pipe assemblies

UNSPSC 31311701 Aluminum bonded pipe assemblies, a Commodity code, shows little relevant recent activity. The code's narrow scope — aluminum bonded assemblies — does not align with the state and local opportunities currently posted under this identifier. Recent solicitations tagged to this code involve PVC and ductile iron pipes, HDPE outfall piping, fiberglass reinforced polymer mortar (FRPM) pipe, and general industrial pipe supply, none of which are aluminum bonded assemblies. The mismatch suggests either misclassification by issuing bodies or a gap between the code's technical specification and procurement practice in the jurisdictions posting opportunities.

Activity appears concentrated in Florida and multi-state water and stormwater infrastructure programs. Orange County, Florida has issued multiple opportunities for sewer pipes and fittings (Y26-126, as-needed supply with estimated five-year spend of approximately $28.7 million, with sealed offers due January 22, 2026); the City of Palm Bay, Florida posted an ITB for I-95 Outfall Pipe Replacement (July 14, 2026) and an RFI for Malabar Road stormwater pipe rehabilitation. The City of Phoenix Public Works Department solicited industrial pipe, miscellaneous fittings, and equipment on an as-needed three-year contract (IFB 26-SW-0379, due August 12, 2026). The Clayton County Water Authority in Georgia issued a sole source notice for fiberglass reinforced polymer mortar pipe ($6.07 million estimated cost). The City of Dallas Water Utilities sought ductile iron pipe through a five-year ID/IQ agreement (due June 12, 2026). These opportunities reflect municipal and county water, sewer, and stormwater infrastructure procurement rather than the aluminum bonded assemblies the code nominally covers.
