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 encompassing the supply of non-ferrous piping materials — including HDPE, PVC, aluminum, and specialty utility-grade pipes — for as-needed inventory and project-specific deployment by state and local water, wastewater, utilities, aviation, and transportation departments. State and local issuers soliciting under this code span municipal utilities (Lubbock Power & Light), airport authorities (City of Phoenix Aviation Department across three facilities), city public works and stormwater departments (Phoenix, Palm Bay, Lawrenceville), county departments of transportation and public works (Orange County, Santa Clara County), and regional water authorities (City of Augusta). The work solicited ranges from standing supply contracts for routine maintenance and emergency repairs to project-specific material procurement for infrastructure replacement and rehabilitation initiatives. Recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Public Works Department IFB 27-SW-0447 for three-year industrial pipe and fittings supply commencing December 2026 with HDPE and PVC pipe ranging 0.75 to 24 inches in diameter and 24-to-48-hour delivery requirements; Lubbock Power & Light's quote request for 3,000 feet of #40 aluminum primary 15 KV outdoor pipe cable shipped on nonreturnable reels; and the City of Augusta ITB 27-116 for HDPE pipe, couplings, and end sections for stormwater infrastructure, subject to Minority and Women Owned Business Enterprise utilization plans and local-bidder preference programs.

Geographic activity concentrates in Arizona (Phoenix), Texas (Lubbock, Bryan), Georgia (Augusta, Lawrenceville), and Florida (Palm Bay, Orange County), with additional opportunities across California (Santa Clara County). The City of Phoenix appears as a repeat buyer, issuing multiple IFBs for industrial pipe supply to its aviation and public works divisions. Contracts typically span one to three years with optional renewal periods, firm-fixed pricing on a per-unit or lump-sum basis, and delivery windows of 24 to 72 hours or extended project timelines depending on scope. Contractors must maintain local inventory, provide after-hours contact capability, meet work-authorization and security-compliance requirements under E-Verify and state-specific programs, and comply with disadvantaged-business-enterprise participation plans where federal funding (FAA, FTA) attaches to the underlying project.
