UNSPSC 40141757: Escutcheon

A flat protective coveringto prevent soiling.

UNSPSC 40141757 Escutcheon, a Commodity code, shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity directly aligned with its nominal scope. The ten recent opportunities tagged under this code involve water and sewer infrastructure supply and construction work—industrial pipe, fittings, valves, and related materials for municipal utilities and wastewater systems—but none target escutcheons (decorative or functional pipe collars and trim rings) as a primary procurement item. The tagged opportunities instead reflect broader water-main replacement, stormwater pipe rehabilitation, utility-line relocation, and treatment-plant upgrades where escutcheons may appear as incidental components within larger material or construction scopes. This mismatch suggests either that state and local procurement offices are broadly tagging commodity codes at higher tiers and not drilling down to specific product lines, or that escutcheons are procured as subordinate line items within larger supply or construction contracts rather than standalone solicitations.

The issuing bodies are geographically dispersed utilities and public works departments: the City of Phoenix Public Works (Arizona); the cities of Augusta, Calhoun, and Lavonia and DeKalb County (Georgia); the Douglasville-Douglas County Water and Sewer Authority (Georgia); Sanitation District No. 2-3 in Santa Clara County and the City of Palm Bay (California and Florida respectively); and the Housing Authority of the City of Alameda (California). Recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix's IFB 27-SW-0447 for industrial pipe, fittings, and equipment with a response date of September 30, 2026; the City of Augusta's ITB 27-116 for HDPE pipe, couplings, and end sections due September 29, 2026; and the Douglasville-Douglas County Water and Sewer Authority's IFB 327 for water and sewer pipe fittings and related inventory materials due October 7, 2026. These contracts emphasize bulk material supply on multiyear terms (typically one to three years) with as-needed purchasing models, rapid delivery requirements (24–48 hours), and firm fixed pricing. No opportunities in the dataset specifically solicit escutcheons as a primary commodity line.
