UNSPSC 31311701: Aluminum bonded pipe assemblies

UNSPSC 31311701 Aluminum bonded pipe assemblies (Commodity) does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under this code. The recent opportunities reflect solicitation of industrial and utility piping materials—HDPE, PVC, concrete, ductile iron, and fiberglass reinforced polymer mortar pipe—across multiple issuing bodies and jurisdictions, but aluminum bonded pipe does not appear in any of the posted bids. The code's nominal scope describes a specialized product line that state and local governments either source through different taxonomies or procure infrequently enough that current market activity is sparse under this specific Commodity designation.

Recent state and local pipe procurement spans cities, counties, and special-purpose water authorities across Florida, Georgia, Arizona, California, and Texas. The City of Phoenix Public Works Department (two separate IFBs in August and September 2026) solicits industrial pipe, fittings, and equipment—including HDPE 1.5 to 24 inches and PVC 0.75 to 4 inches—under three-year indefinite-delivery contracts with two optional one-year extensions; delivery must occur within 24 to 48 hours, and contractors must maintain local inventory and over-the-counter purchasing capability. Colquitt County, Georgia (IFB PE77891NONST2027000000097, due October 14, 2026) seeks concrete pipe with lift holes in 15 to 66 inch diameters for a one-year term beginning January 1, 2027. The City of Augusta, Georgia (ITB 27-116, due September 29, 2026) requests HDPE pipe, couplings, and end sections for stormwater drainage on an as-needed basis under a one-year contract with four optional one-year renewals; the City applies a local-bidder preference and MWBE utilization requirements. The City of Dallas (BG2600030409, due June 12, 2026) established a five-year ID/IQ master agreement for ductile iron pipe supply to its Water Utilities department. The Clayton County Water Authority in Georgia (PE63125NONST2026000000072, noted as sole source for Hobas Pipe USA, May 13, 2026) procured fiberglass reinforced polymer mortar (FRPM) pipe in 18 to 60 inch sizes at an estimated total cost of $6.07 million for sewer replacement. Aluminum bonded pipe assemblies show no corresponding activity in this recent opportunity set.
