UNSPSC 40141767: Pipe shoe

A supporter that is in slider-type as used in the steam pipe or water pipe in the pipe system.

UNSPSC 40141767 Pipe shoe, a Commodity code, does not align closely with state and local procurement activity currently being solicited. Recent opportunities tagged to this code consistently concern piping systems, fittings, valves, and related appurtenances for water distribution, stormwater management, and sewer infrastructure—not pipe shoes as a discrete product category. The City of Phoenix Public Works Department is soliciting industrial pipe (HDPE and PVC), fittings, and hand tools on an as-needed basis under IFB 26-SW-0379, due August 12, 2026, for a three-year term with optional extensions. The City of Sarasota is requesting materials-only bids for potable water pipe, fittings, and appurtenances conforming to its approved material list under ITB 26-31JS (deadline passed). Orange County, Florida issued IFB Y26-126 for sewer pipes and fittings with an estimated five-year spending value of approximately $28.7 million, requiring discount pricing against manufacturers' suggested retail price. Suppliers in this code space typically furnish bulk commodity piping and system components rather than specialty products.

Issuing bodies soliciting under this code span municipal water and stormwater utilities, county infrastructure departments, and specialized construction procurement offices across Florida, Georgia, California, and Texas. The City of Phoenix, City of Sarasota, Orange County, City of Palm Bay, City of Calhoun (Georgia), Gwinnett County (Georgia), Santa Clara County (California), and the City of Dallas represent the geographic and jurisdictional mix in recent postings. Requirements commonly include F.O.B. destination pricing, approved material lists, compliance with American Iron and Steel or Buy America standards, fast delivery windows (24 to 48 hours in some cases), warranty provisions, and E-Verify employment verification. Set-asides and preferences vary: Orange County applies a Service Disabled Veteran Business preference with tiered discounts; the City of Dallas applies a 5% local price preference for Dallas-based firms; and the City of Lavonia, Georgia specifies DBE participation goals of 4.0% for minority-owned and women-owned businesses on a water treatment plant upgrade project.
