UNSPSC 40170000: Pipe piping and pipe fittings

Cylinders and related fittings and assemblies used to convey fluid and gaseous products

UNSPSC 40170000 Pipe piping and pipe fittings is a Family code covering the supply and delivery of pipes, fittings, and related appurtenances for water, wastewater, stormwater, and irrigation infrastructure. State and local governments buy ductile iron pipe, PVC pipe, HDPE pipe, copper tubing, gate valves, check valves, butterfly valves, spool pieces, couplings, elbows, reducers, and miscellaneous fittings through both materials-only and as-needed supply contracts. Recent solicitations show a mix of issuing bodies: cities (Phoenix, Arlington, Palm Bay, Sarasota, St. Petersburg, Pembroke Pines, Meriden), counties (Orange, Collier, Broward, Santa Clara, Alameda, Ada, San Mateo), water and sewer authorities (Yardley Borough, Ashley Valley, Onslow), school districts (Christina), and irrigation districts (Dry Gulch). Orange County, Florida appears as a repeat buyer, with separate procurements for sewer pipes and fittings (Y26-126) and as-needed industrial pipe and miscellaneous fittings (26SW0379). The City of Phoenix's IFB 26SW0379 for industrial pipe and miscellaneous fittings, due August 12, 2026, exemplifies the scope: HDPE and PVC pipe in multiple diameters, applicable fittings such as elbows and couplings, glue, and hand tools, supplied on as-needed basis with 24- to 48-hour delivery required and firm fixed pricing for three years with two optional one-year extensions.

Geographic activity spans multiple states with notable recent concentration in Florida (Orange County, Collier County, City of Palm Bay, Broward County, City of Pembroke Pines, City of St. Petersburg), Arizona (City of Phoenix), Utah (Dry Gulch Irrigation, Ashley Valley Water & Sewer, City of Holladay), Massachusetts (Town of Spencer, Commonwealth of Massachusetts), Texas (City of Arlington), North Carolina (Onslow Water & Sewer), Oregon (Oregon Department of Transportation), Pennsylvania (Yardley Borough, Washington Township, South Middleton Township), and California (West Basin Municipal Water District, City of Thousand Oaks, Santa Clara County, Alameda County). The Oregon Department of Transportation's ITB for ductile iron pipe fittings and valves in 12-, 24-, and 36-inch diameters for the Center Street Bridge Project waterline, due July 13, 2026, and the City of Sarasota's materials-only ITB 26-31JS for pipe, fittings, and appurtenances for small AC water main replacement, due June 16, 2026 (deadline passed), represent representative recent opportunities. Procurement structures vary widely: some jurisdictions issue annual or multi-year requirements contracts with as-needed ordering; others conduct project-specific sealed bids for defined quantities tied to capital improvements; a subset use indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity frameworks with percentage-discount pricing from manufacturer lists. Delivery expectations commonly include 24- to 48-hour response windows for emergency items and firm pricing terms over multiple years, with F.O.B. destination delivery and local inventory maintenance often specified.
