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-tier code covering the supply and installation of industrial, municipal, and utility piping systems and components—including ductile iron pipe, polyethylene (HDPE/PVC) pipe, PVC sewer and drainage pipe, and specialized piping for water treatment, chemical injection, and irrigation applications. State and local governments procure under this code to support water distribution, wastewater collection, stormwater management, and chemical delivery infrastructure. Recent solicitations show municipalities and water utilities actively sourcing materials ranging from ductile iron pipe for potable water mains to chemically resistant PVC for disinfectant systems and HDPE for gas and irrigation distribution. Cities, counties, special-purpose water and sewer districts, and regional water authorities dominate the issuing-body mix, with Phoenix Public Works, Tampa Water Department, Delaware Department of Transportation, and Collier County recurring as active buyers. The code also captures design-build and construction services integrating pipe installation, as evidenced by projects spanning storm drain lining, sanitary sewer rehabilitation, and treatment-plant upgrades.

Geographic activity concentrates in Florida (Collier County, Palm Bay, Tampa, Broward County), Arizona (Phoenix), Delaware, California (Thousand Oaks, Santa Clara County, Santa Cruz), and Utah, with scattered procurement across Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Texas, and Oregon. Representative recent opportunities include the City of South Jordan's IFB for UV-cured CIPP lining of corrugated metal storm drain pipe due October 21, 2026; the City of Phoenix's IFB 26-SW-0379 for HDPE and PVC industrial pipe and fittings on an as-needed basis with firm pricing through December 2029; Collier County's $4.27 million blend-tank construction project including 180 linear feet of 42-inch ductile iron pipe and chemical injection systems due September 21, 2026; the Delaware Department of Transportation's regional reinforced concrete and HDPE pipe supply contracts due September 22, 2026; and the City of Tampa's ITB for 1,860 linear feet of 4-inch and 2,780 linear feet of 6-inch ductile iron pipe due October 16, 2026 with a five percent bid discount for certified Small Local Business Enterprises. As-needed supply contracts dominate; annual terms with multiple one-year renewal options are standard, and unit pricing on FOB destination basis with 24–48 hour delivery requirements is typical for operators serving major metropolitan and utility systems.
