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) does not align with state and local procurement activity evident in the recent opportunities block. The code's nominal scope—a single component fastening product—bears no relation to the actual solicitations tagged under this code, which predominantly seek bulk supply and materials for water, sewer, and stormwater infrastructure systems, including industrial pipe, fittings, couplings, valves, and related inventory on as-needed terms. State and local buyers under this code are city public works departments (Phoenix, Augusta, Calhoun, Palm Bay), county utilities authorities (Douglasville-Douglas County Water and Sewer Authority, DeKalb County), special-purpose districts (Sanitation District No. 2-3, Santa Clara County), and water treatment facilities seeking reliable suppliers for recurring maintenance, rehabilitation, and infrastructure replacement work across a mix of contract vehicles (IFB, ITB, RFI).

Recent opportunities show sustained activity in Arizona, Georgia, Florida, and California. The City of Phoenix Public Works Department has posted two IFBs for industrial pipe supply (IFB27SW0447, September 2026; IFB26SW0379, August 2026), each soliciting HDPE and PVC pipe in multiple diameters, fittings, and hand tools on three-year terms with two optional one-year extensions and 24–48-hour delivery windows. The City of Augusta, Georgia and Douglasville-Douglas County Water and Sewer Authority in Georgia both posted one-year ITB and IFB solicitations in September and October 2026 for various HDPE and PVC pipe, couplings, and fittings for stormwater and sewer maintenance. The County of DeKalb, Georgia solicited quick insertion valves and tapping sleeves under a three-year ITB (August 2026). Sanitation District No. 2-3 in Santa Clara County, California posted an ITB for structural defect repair requiring PVC and HDPE pipe replacements and service connection wyes (September 2026). The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being bought suggests either miscategorization at the procurement source or that the code is rarely if ever correctly applied to pipe sway brace procurement at the state and local level.
