UNSPSC 40171526: Commercial glass pipe

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

UNSPSC 40171526 Commercial glass pipe is a Commodity code that covers piping and piping system components used in water, wastewater, stormwater, and drainage infrastructure projects. State and local governments purchase under this code for replacement, rehabilitation, and new construction of underground pipe systems—particularly when those systems serve municipal water distribution, wastewater collection, outfall drainage, and stormwater management. Counties and cities drive the bulk of activity, with utilities departments procuring through IFBs and RFPs that bundle pipes with fittings, valves, and related accessories. The issuing bodies are primarily county and municipal utilities divisions and public works departments.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida, where Orange County solicited sewer pipes and fittings (Y26-126, IFB, January 2026 response) under a five-year, estimated $28.7 million contract requiring percentage discounts from MSRP and compliance with county utility standards; the City of Palm Bay issued an ITB for I-95 outfall pipe replacement (41ITB26, July 14, 2026 response) encompassing removal and installation of replacement pipe infrastructure with environmental permits and Clean Water Act compliance, and conducted an earlier RFI (38RFI26, June 9, 2026 response) on stormwater pipe rehabilitation and replacement along the Malabar Road corridor to support Phase II of a widening project. Orange County also procured replacement piping as part of emergency bridge replacement projects (Y26742, July 7, 2026 response, $6.2 million estimated cost). All three municipalities—Orange County and City of Palm Bay in Florida, plus City of Frisco, Texas—appear across multiple solicitations in the recent block, signaling sustained infrastructure renewal activity. Beyond Florida and Texas, the source names no other recent geographic concentrations under this code.
