UNSPSC 40141755: Pipe sway brace

A double-acting spring housed in a canister. It restrains undesirable movement of pipe racks.

UNSPSC 40141755 Pipe sway brace (Commodity) covers industrial and municipal pipe components and fittings, though the recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code predominantly solicit larger-scale water, sewer, and stormwater pipe materials and related infrastructure supplies rather than sway braces specifically. State and local governments buying under this taxonomy are primarily acquiring HDPE and PVC water main materials, ductile iron pipe with mechanical joint fittings, gate valves, fire hydrants, and sewer system components—items used in water treatment facility upgrades, water main replacements, and outfall pipe rehabilitation projects. The issuing bodies span city public works and utilities departments, county water resources divisions, and transit authorities. The City of Phoenix Public Works Department, City of Sarasota Utilities, Orange County Utilities Division, and the City of Palm Bay have each posted multiple opportunities within the recent activity window, indicating recurring demand for standardized, framework-style supply agreements across municipal utilities operations.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida and the broader Southeast, with multiple solicitations from Orange County, the City of Palm Bay, the City of Sarasota, and Georgia municipalities (Calhoun, Lavonia, and Gwinnett County) between February and July 2026. The City of Phoenix issued IFB 26-SW-0379 on July 8, 2026, for supply of industrial pipe, fittings, and equipment with a response deadline of August 12, 2026, establishing a three-year term commencing December 1, 2026, with DBE-N compliance and 24-hour delivery requirements. The City of Sarasota posted ITB 26-31JS on June 29, 2026, for pipe, fittings, and appurtenances for water main replacement (bids due June 16, 2026—a deadline that has passed). Orange County, Florida issued a five-year sewer pipes and fittings contract (Y26-126) with an estimated $28.7 million spending total and a service-disabled veteran business preference, and the City of Palm Bay solicited bids for I-95 Outfall Pipe Replacement (due July 14, 2026) and an RFI on stormwater pipe rehabilitation solutions (due June 9, 2026). The code shows active recurring demand but exhibits a mismatch between its narrow commodity definition and the broader scope of actual water-system and stormwater procurement occurring under it.
