UNSPSC 40171516: Commercial non ferrous pipe

Pipe with a pressure rating of 2500 psi or less made of non ferrous metal

UNSPSC 40171516 Commercial non ferrous pipe is a Commodity code describing the supply of non-ferrous piping materials — including HDPE, PVC, copper, and specialty alloys — to state and local governments for water, sewer, natural gas, stormwater, and industrial applications. Recent opportunities show state and local buyers procuring finished pipe stock, fabricated pipe assemblies, fittings, valves, and associated materials for immediate inventory, multi-year framework agreements, and embedded supply roles within larger construction or infrastructure rehabilitation projects. The mix of issuing bodies includes county utilities departments, municipal public works and water agencies, university system capital facilities, and special districts, with repeat activity from Florida county governments (Orange County Utilities, Volusia County, City of Palm Bay) and Texas and Georgia municipal buyers. Work ranges from on-demand supply agreements with 24- to 48-hour delivery commitments and local inventory maintenance, to just-in-time material coordination for active construction projects, to single-purchase fabrication services for specialized applications such as ballistic range infrastructure.

Recent opportunities span Florida, Texas, Georgia, and California. Orange County, Florida issued two significant procurements: Sewer Pipes and Fittings (Y26-126) with estimated five-year spending of $28.7 million covering PVC and ductile iron pipes, fittings, valves, and manhole components (sealed bids due January 22, 2026), and supply of industrial pipe and miscellaneous fittings (IFB 26-SW-0379) for HDPE and PVC pipe ranging 1.5 to 24 inches diameter with three-year term commencing December 1, 2026 and sealed offers due August 12, 2026.
