UNSPSC 40171526: Commercial glass pipe

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

UNSPSC 40171526 Commercial glass pipe (Commodity) covers primary electrical distribution cable, outdoor power conduit, and related piping materials that state and local utilities and municipal governments purchase for electrical distribution infrastructure and stormwater management systems. The actual scope of work solicited under this code centers on high-voltage outdoor electrical cable (such as 15 KV primary distribution pipe) specified to meet manufacturer standards from vendors like Prysmian, Southwire, and General Cable, as well as stormwater and outfall pipe for drainage systems along municipal corridors and environmental compliance zones. Issuing bodies include municipal utilities (Lubbock Power & Light in Texas), county governments (Orange County, Florida), and city procurement offices (City of Palm Bay, Florida). The geographic activity evident in recent postings concentrates in Texas and Florida, with municipal utilities and county transportation or environmental departments as the primary buyers.

Recent activity includes Lubbock Power & Light's quote request (26-7014-ELD, due September 25, 2026) for 3,000 feet of #40 aluminum primary 15 KV outdoor pipe cable, 19-strand compound-filled with TRXLPE insulation and LLDPE jacket, shipped on nonreturnable reels to the City of Lubbock Central Warehouse on an F.O.B. Destination basis with net 30 payment terms. The City of Palm Bay issued an ITB (41ITB26, due July 14, 2026) for I-95 Outfall Pipe Replacement in the Meadowbrook at I-95 location covering removal and installation of replacement outfall piping under State of Florida Department of Environmental Protection permits, with lump-sum pricing, five percent bid security, and liquidated damages for schedule delays. A parallel RFI (38RFI26, due June 9, 2026) from Palm Bay sought vendor input on stormwater pipe rehabilitation and replacement solutions along the Malabar Road corridor to support Phase II of the Malabar Road Widening project. Orange County, Florida also posted an emergency bridge replacement RFB (Y26742, due July 7, 2026) estimated at $6,202,246.05 for Wallington Drive Bridge and Egret Way Bridge replacements, though the bridge scope appears tangential to the commercial pipe commodity classification.
