UNSPSC 40171522: Commercial seamless stainless steel pipe

Pipe with a pressure rating of 2500 psi or less made of seamless stainless steel

UNSPSC 40171522 Commercial seamless stainless steel pipe is a Commodity code that state and local governments procure primarily for water and wastewater infrastructure projects, industrial piping systems, and municipal utility upgrades. Recent solicitations show procurement activity heavily concentrated in water treatment plant improvements, stormwater and sewer system installations, and industrial supply contracts where seamless stainless pipe serves alongside carbon steel, HDPE, PVC, and corrugated metal pipe as part of broader materials acquisition. State agencies, counties, cities, and water authorities issue solicitations under this code; Orange County, Florida and Gwinnett County, Georgia appear as repeat buyers issuing blanket purchase agreements and annual supply contracts. The State of California, City of Phoenix, City of Lavonia, Notla Water Authority (Georgia), and other Florida municipalities round out the recent issuing-body mix.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida, Georgia, and California. Representative opportunities include the State of California's RFB for steel materials (RFBIS27200030, due July 29, 2026) and the City of Phoenix Public Works Department's three-year IFB for industrial pipe and fittings including HDPE and PVC on as-needed delivery (IFB 26-SW-0379, due August 12, 2026). Gwinnett County's Invitation to Bid BL079-26 for stormwater pipe on annual contract (due May 19, 2026) procured reinforced concrete, HDPE, and corrugated metal pipe—not seamless stainless—suggesting that recent opportunities tagged under this code often acquire broader materials families rather than seamless stainless specifically. Orange County issued a five-year sewer pipes and fittings contract (Y26-126, due January 22, 2026) with an estimated five-year spending total of approximately $28.7 million covering PVC and ductile iron, again indicating that state and local procurement under this Commodity code frequently encompasses mixed-material supply agreements where seamless stainless steel represents one component within larger piping system procurements rather than the primary focus.
