UNSPSC 40171505: Commercial high yield steel pipe

Pipe with a pressure rating of 2500 psi or less made of high yield steel

UNSPSC 40171505 Commercial high yield steel pipe is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of steel pipe materials for water infrastructure, wastewater systems, stormwater management, natural gas distribution, and general municipal construction projects. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers purchasing reinforced concrete pipe, polyvinyl chloride and high-density polyethylene pipe, ductile iron pipe, corrugated metal pipe, and welded steel pipe in diameters ranging from 0.75 inches to 90 inches, with delivery often required within 24 to 48 hours on an as-needed, just-in-time basis. Issuing bodies span state departments and agencies, county water and wastewater authorities, city public works and utilities departments, and special districts; Orange County Florida, Broward County Florida, Gwinnett County Georgia, the City of Phoenix, and the City of Lawrenceville appear repeatedly as active repeat buyers. Work solicited includes supply contracts for pipe and fittings inventories maintained to support ongoing maintenance and construction programs, as well as material procurement tied to discrete infrastructure projects such as bridge replacements, pipe outfall restoration, water treatment plant upgrades, and utility line extensions.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida, Georgia, and California. Representative solicitations include the City of Phoenix Public Works Department IFB 26-SW-0379 (due August 12, 2026) for industrial pipe, HDPE and PVC pipe, and fittings on a three-year term with two optional one-year extensions; Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners Invitation to Bid BL079-26 (due May 19, 2026) for reinforced concrete, HDPE, and corrugated metal pipe on a four-year annual contract with four optional 12-month renewals; the State of California RFB-IS-27200030 (due July 29, 2026) for steel materials and products; and Orange County Florida IFB Y26-126 (due January 22, 2026) for sewer pipes and fittings with an estimated five-year spending total of approximately $28.7 million. Contracts typically require F.O.B. destination pricing, prompt delivery performance (often 24 to 48 hours), firm and fixed pricing, compliance with American Standards and American Iron and Steel provisions where federally funded, and maintenance of local inventory and web-based ordering platforms.
