UNSPSC 40171515: Commercial magnesium pipe

Pipe with a pressure rating of 2500 psi or less made of magnesium

UNSPSC 40171515 Commercial magnesium pipe is a Commodity code for metallic piping materials used in state and local infrastructure, water treatment, and site development projects. Recent state and local solicitations under this code show that governments are procuring industrial pipe — chiefly High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE), Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC), and ductile iron pipe — for drainage systems, stormwater management, water treatment facilities, and site construction. The issuing bodies span counties, cities, and transit authorities. Collier County, Florida has posted multiple construction projects incorporating piping components, including the South County Regional Water Treatment Plant (SCRWTP) Lime Softening Improvements (Bid No. 26-8683R, IFB, bids due September 21, 2026 at $4.27 million), which calls for 42-inch and 36-inch ductile iron piping and Schedule 80 CPVC chemical injection systems; the Immokalee Sports Complex Phase 1A & 1B (IFB 26-8703, bids due November 2, 2026 at $6.24 million), encompassing stormwater piping and site infrastructure; and Freedom Park Boardwalk Repairs (ITB 26-8700, bids due November 6, 2026 at $1.3 million), requiring timber members and hardware replacement. The City of Phoenix Public Works Department has solicited industrial pipe supply on an as-needed basis under two identical-scope three-year contracts (IFB 26-SW-0379 and IFB 27-SW-0447, both commencing December 1, 2026), covering HDPE pipe 1.5 to 24 inches in diameter, PVC pipe 0.75 to 4 inches, and associated fittings and hand tools with 24- to 48-hour delivery requirements.

Geographic activity concentrates in Florida (Collier County, Orange County, Palm Bay) and Arizona (Phoenix), with additional solicitations in Georgia (Augusta), California (Santa Clara County), and Texas (Fort Worth). The City of Augusta, Georgia posted ITB 27-116 (bids due September 29, 2026) for HDPE pipe, couplings, and end sections in sizes 8 to 36 inches on an as-needed, one-year-with-four-renewals basis. The City of Fort Worth issued RFP 26-0222 (proposals due July 23, 2026) for aluminum, iron, rebar, and steel materials with a 30 percent small business participation goal and 48-hour delivery requirement. The source shows no indication that magnesium pipe specifically is being procured under these codes; the recent activity centers on HDPE, PVC, ductile iron, and steel. This mismatch between the code's nominal commodity name and the piping materials actually being solicited suggests that magnesium pipe has minimal recent state and local procurement activity, or that the code is being used inconsistently by jurisdictions for broader industrial piping categories.
