UNSPSC 40171513: Commercial assembled cast iron pipe hub

Pipe with a pressure rating of 2500 psi or less made of assembled cast iron pipe hubs

UNSPSC 40171513 Commercial assembled cast iron pipe hub is a Commodity code covering assembled cast iron pipe components and related fittings that state and local water utilities and public works departments procure for water main installation, replacement, and rehabilitation projects. Recent solicitations show active demand for ductile iron and cast iron piping materials across the full spectrum of water infrastructure work—from new construction and routine replacement to emergency outfall restoration and treatment facility upgrades. State and local buyers under this code include county water departments, municipal water utilities, and city public works divisions soliciting through competitive ITB, RFQ, and IFB vehicles, often as part of broader infrastructure modernization or emergency response initiatives. Procurement vehicles range from single-project bids to multi-year supply agreements with as-needed ordering terms, reflecting both one-time capital projects and ongoing operational support.

The geographic footprint spans Florida, Georgia, Texas, Arizona, and California, with notable recent activity in Georgia (Gwinnett County, DeKalb County, City of Calhoun), Florida (Pinellas County, City of Tampa, Orange County, City of Palm Bay, City of Sarasota), and Arizona (City of Phoenix). Representative current opportunities include Pinellas County, Florida's coordinated ITB for sewer and water main improvements (solicitation 260652ITBC, two-step qualification and final bid due November 5, 2026) involving approximately 500 linear feet of 12-inch PVC sanitary sewer pipe and 6,800 linear feet of 6-inch water main replacement; the City of Tampa's ITB 26-P-00565 for 4-inch and 6-inch ductile iron pipe (1,860 linear feet of 4-inch and 2,780 linear feet of 6-inch, bids due October 16, 2026); and the City of Dallas's five-year ID/IQ master agreement for ductile iron pipe supply (BG2600030409, bids due June 12, 2026). Gwinnett County, Georgia appears as a repeat buyer across multiple informal written quotations for large-diameter ductile iron components, gland retainers, tapping sleeves, and spools, signaling sustained water infrastructure investment at the county level. Set-asides and preferences vary by jurisdiction—Pinellas County applies a 10% SBE participation goal; the City of Tampa offers a five percent bid discount for certified Small Local Business Enterprises; the City of Lavonia's water treatment plant project specifies 4.0% DBE participation goals for minority-owned and women-owned businesses; and the City of Phoenix enforces DBE-Neutral compliance under 49 CFR Part 26 for Federal Transit Administration-assisted projects.
