UNSPSC 31311712: Copper bonded pipe assemblies

UNSPSC 31311712 Copper bonded pipe assemblies is a Commodity code covering industrial piping materials and fittings supplied on an as-needed basis to support municipal water, wastewater, and stormwater infrastructure systems. State and local governments procure ductile iron pipe, PVC pipe, HDPE pipe, fiberglass-reinforced polymer mortar (FRPM) pipe, sewer fittings, and related components through master supply agreements, blanket purchase orders, and project-specific contracts. The issuing bodies are predominantly cities and counties purchasing for water utilities, public works departments, and environmental compliance projects. Recent solicitations show strong activity from Florida municipal governments (Orange County, City of Palm Bay, City of Dallas) and a Georgia water authority, with contracts structured as multi-year supply agreements with as-needed ordering, firm pricing, and aggressive delivery requirements (24 to 48 hours in some cases) to support routine operations and emergency replacements.

Recent opportunities span Florida, Georgia, and California with particular concentration in Florida. Orange County, Florida has issued multiple solicitations: an IFB for sewer pipes and fittings (Y26-126, response deadline January 22, 2026, estimated five-year value $28.7 million) and bridge replacement work (Y26-742, estimated $6.2 million). The City of Phoenix, Arizona posted IFB 26-SW-0379 for industrial pipe and miscellaneous fittings (response due August 12, 2026) with a three-year term and optional extensions, subject to DBE-N compliance.
