UNSPSC 40171525: Commercial zinc pipe

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

UNSPSC 40171525 Commercial zinc pipe is a Commodity code that sees sparse activity in recent state and local procurement. State and local governments issue solicitations tagged to this code for construction projects that incorporate piping materials, but the recent opportunities block shows the code is applied inconsistently—most tagged solicitations concern broader infrastructure work (stormwater, boardwalk, bridge, pavement, water treatment) where piping is one component among many, not the primary procurement focus. The code appears in a mix of issuing bodies including Florida counties (Collier, Orange), Arizona and Georgia cities (Phoenix, Augusta), and California counties (Santa Clara), along with Florida municipalities (Palm Bay, Fort Worth). Collier County, Florida appears most frequently in the block, with five separate construction and water infrastructure projects posted between June and October 2026 that reference piping materials as part of larger civil works—the South County Regional Water Treatment Plant blend tank (September 2026 reissue, IFB 26-8683R, $4.27 million budget), the Immokalee Sports Complex (IFB 26-8703, due November 2, 2026, $6.24 million), and the Freedom Park Boardwalk repairs (ITB 26-8700, due November 6, 2026, $1.3 million including structural timber and fasteners). The City of Phoenix Public Works Department issued two comparable three-year supply contracts for industrial pipe and fittings (IFB 26-SW-0379 in August and IFB 27-SW-0447 in September 2026), both covering HDPE and PVC pipe in multiple diameters for airport facilities.

Geographic clustering in Florida and the Southwest reflects recent activity, with secondary procurement emerging in Georgia and California for stormwater and pavement work. Representative recent opportunities include Collier County's boardwalk restoration (ITB 26-8700, November 6, 2026), which specifies pressure-treated Southern Pine and IPE wood with stainless steel fasteners and ductile iron pipe; the City of Phoenix's three-year industrial pipe supply contract (IFB 27-SW-0447, due September 30, 2026) covering HDPE 1.5" to 24" diameter and PVC 0.75" to 4" diameter with 24-48 hour delivery; and the City of Augusta's annual HDPE pipe and fittings bid (ITB 27-116, due September 29, 2026) for single and double-wall pipe, couplings, bends, and ells ranging 8" to 36" diameter for stormwater down-drain installation. The code sees periodic demand but is subordinate to broader construction, infrastructure, and facilities management work rather than standalone pipe procurement.
