UNSPSC 40142703: Pipe fitting welded carbon steel

Carbon Steel Pipe Fittings are made up of carbon steel which has a limited range of ingredients in its composition. Carbon steels have high hardness and wear and tear properties. The fittings made up of carbon steel are applied through various industrial, commercial and domestic application.

UNSPSC 40142703 Pipe fitting welded carbon steel is a Commodity code describing welded carbon steel fittings used in water service replacement and underground infrastructure projects, though recent state and local procurement activity under this code has emphasized copper tubing and HDPE piping systems rather than welded carbon steel specifically. State and local water utilities, municipal utility commissions, and infrastructure agencies solicit replacements and upgrades to water service lines, storm and sanitary drainage systems, and treatment facility piping infrastructure. The Town of Waterford Utility Commission in Connecticut has issued multiple IFBs for copper water service line replacement on district roads, while the City of Augusta, Georgia procures HDPE pipe and couplings for drain installation on an as-needed annual basis. Municipal issuing bodies dominate recent activity, with utility commissions, transit authorities managing facility maintenance, and county governments representing the primary buyers.

Recent opportunities center on water main and service line replacement in Connecticut and Georgia, municipal facility infrastructure upgrades, and emergency bridge and treatment facility construction across the Southeast and Midwest. The Town of Waterford Utility Commission issued IFB26007 (due May 21, 2026) and IFB26014 (due November 12, 2026) for replacement of plastic water services with copper tubing in 1-inch and 2-inch diameters, including main tapping, corporation stops, and curb stops, with Connecticut prevailing wage requirements and a 25 percent subcontractor set-aside for DAS-certified small and minority-owned businesses. The City of Augusta, Georgia posted ITB 27-116 (due September 29, 2026) for various HDPE pipe, coupling, and end sections in sizes from 8 to 36 inches diameter for down-drain installation on an annual contract with four optional one-year renewal periods and MBE/WBE participation requirements regardless of dollar amount; local-bidder preference applies to projects of $100,000 or less when the lowest qualified local bidder is within ten percent or $10,000 of the lowest non-local bid. The Great Lakes Water Authority in Michigan solicited a 2027 Job Order Contract (due August 27, 2026) for management of multiple simultaneous water and wastewater projects across Wayne County, requiring documented experience with diverse subcontractor integration and five-year project history. Activity concentrates in Connecticut, Georgia, Michigan, and Florida, with municipal utility infrastructure upgrade and emergency replacement work driving current demand.
