UNSPSC 40171523: Commercial tin pipe

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

UNSPSC 40171523 Commercial tin pipe is a Commodity code. State and local governments procure commercial tin pipe as a component material within larger infrastructure and construction projects—specifically in water treatment plants, stormwater and drainage systems, bridge replacements, and site utilities—rather than as a standalone supply category. The code does not correspond directly to the concrete procurement activity visible in recent state and local solicitations. Collier County, Florida has posted multiple construction projects that include piping systems: the South County Regional Water Treatment Plant lime softening improvements specify ductile iron pipe (42-inch and 36-inch) and Schedule 80 CPVC chemical injection lines; the Freedom Park Boardwalk Repairs project calls for structural timber replacement and concrete work with no tin pipe component; and the Immokalee Sports Complex Phase 1A & 1B project encompasses athletic field construction, stormwater infrastructure, and site utilities. The City of Phoenix Public Works Department has solicited industrial pipe supplies (HDPE and PVC) on an as-needed basis under two separate three-year supply agreements. The City of Augusta, Georgia requested bids for HDPE pipe, couplings, and end sections for stormwater and drainage maintenance. The City of Palm Bay issued solicitations for stormwater and outfall pipe replacement projects along the I-95 corridor and Malabar Road, governed by state environmental permits. Santa Clara County and Orange County, Florida posted pavement and bridge replacement projects involving site infrastructure but with no explicit tin pipe specification. State and local procurement in this commodity family centers on water and wastewater treatment facilities, stormwater management, and drainage infrastructure operated by county environmental departments and municipal public works offices.

Recent activity clusters in Florida (Collier County, Orange County, Palm Bay, and Brevard County), Arizona (City of Phoenix), Georgia (City of Augusta), California (Santa Clara County), and Texas (City of Fort Worth). Collier County appears repeatedly as a buyer across multiple infrastructure categories. The City of Phoenix and City of Augusta have posted as-needed supply agreements with initial terms of three years and one year, respectively, structured for ongoing maintenance and operations rather than discrete capital projects. Representative recent opportunities include Collier County's South County Regional Water Treatment Plant Lime Softening Improvements under Bid No. 26-8683R, a $4.27 million construction project with bids due September 21, 2026, specifying ductile iron piping and chemical systems; the City of Phoenix Public Works Department's industrial pipe supply solicitation under IFB 26-SW-0379 (offers due August 12, 2026) for HDPE and PVC pipe and fittings on a three-year term; and the City of Augusta, Georgia's annual HDPE pipe supply bid under ITB 27-116 (bids due September 29, 2026) for pipes ranging 8 to 36 inches in diameter and related couplings. The code shows limited direct recent activity; most state and local procurement in piping materials targets HDPE, PVC, ductile iron, or Schedule 80 CPVC rather than tin pipe specifically, suggesting the tin pipe commodity sits outside the primary scope of current infrastructure spending.
