UNSPSC 31311709: Stainless steel bonded pipe assemblies

UNSPSC 31311709 Stainless steel bonded pipe assemblies is a Commodity code tracking specialized piping products, though recent state and local solicitations show the code is being applied to a broader range of industrial and municipal piping infrastructure — including ductile iron pipe, PVC, HDPE, fiberglass-reinforced polymer mortar (FRPM), and outfall pipe systems — rather than stainless steel bonded assemblies specifically. State and local governments are buying pipe supply contracts and replacement construction on an as-needed or project basis, with the work ranging from emergency bridge and stormwater drainage replacements to routine sewer and water utility infrastructure maintenance and expansion. Issuing bodies include water authorities, cities, and counties in Florida, Arizona, Georgia, Texas, and California. The City of Phoenix Public Works Department, Orange County, Florida (through its Utilities Division), the Clayton County Water Authority in Georgia, the City of Dallas Water Utilities, and the City of Palm Bay, Florida appear as repeat solicitors on pipe-related procurements over the past four months.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida, with Orange County, Florida posting an estimated $28.7 million five-year sewer pipes and fittings contract (IFB Y26-126, response deadline January 22, 2026) and the City of Palm Bay conducting an RFI on stormwater pipe rehabilitation along Malabar Road (response deadline June 9, 2026). The City of Phoenix Public Works Department issued IFB 26-SW-0379 for industrial pipe, miscellaneous fittings, and equipment (response deadline August 12, 2026) on a three-year supply agreement. The City of Palm Bay also solicited emergency bids for I-95 Outfall Pipe Replacement (ITB 41ITB26, response deadline July 14, 2026). The Clayton County Water Authority in Georgia posted a Notice of Sole Source Intent for FRPM pipe in sizes 18 to 60 inches totaling approximately $6.07 million (response deadline May 13, 2026), and the City of Dallas issued a competitive RFQ for ductile iron pipe under a five-year ID/IQ master agreement (response deadline June 12, 2026). Geographic concentration in Florida reflects active water and sewer infrastructure investment; Georgia and Texas municipal utilities also show current procurement activity.
