UNSPSC 40171604: Industrial high nickel alloy pipe

Pipe with a pressure rating of more than 2500 psi made of high nickel alloy

UNSPSC 40171604 Industrial high nickel alloy pipe (Commodity) is rarely solicited by state and local bodies; recent opportunities tagged under this code predominantly source standard industrial piping materials—HDPE, PVC, ductile iron, and stainless steel pipe and fittings for water, sewer, stormwater, and drainage infrastructure—rather than high-nickel specialty alloys. State and local procurement under this family reflects the practical scope of municipal utilities operations: inventory supply contracts for routine maintenance and capital replacement of piping networks, fabrication services for specialized installations, and emergency replacements of compromised outfall or sewer lines. Issuing bodies include county utilities departments (Orange County, Florida; Volusia County, Florida), city public works and water/sewer divisions (City of Phoenix, City of Palm Bay, City of Lawrenceville), and specialized higher-education research facilities (Texas A&M University System). Most recent activity centers on multi-year supply agreements with firm-fixed pricing, just-in-time delivery mandates, and local inventory requirements; representative scope spans industrial fittings, gate valves, fire hydrants, backflow preventers, ductile iron and PVC pipe ranging from 0.75 to 24 inches in diameter, and associated connectors and couplings.

Recent opportunities concentrate in Florida, Georgia, Texas, and California. Orange County, Florida has posted multiple solicitations including a five-year sewer pipes and fittings contract (Y26-126, sealed offers due January 22, 2026, estimated five-year value approximately $28.7 million) with Service Disabled Veteran Business preference tiered from 3 to 8 percent, and emergency bridge replacement work requiring comprehensive infrastructure materials (Y26-742, sealed bids due July 7, 2026, estimated project cost $6.2 million). The City of Phoenix Public Works Department solicited industrial pipe, fittings, and equipment on an as-needed basis (IFB 26-SW-0379, sealed offers due August 12, 2026, three-year term with two optional one-year extensions) under DBE-N compliance with 24- to 48-hour delivery requirements and firm fixed pricing. Texas A&M University System requested bids for range pipe fabrication services (ITB TAMUS-ITB-26-0539, sealed bids due July 23, 2026) for the Ballistic Aero-Optics and Materials Range Phase II expansion in Bryan, Texas. The City of Lawrenceville, Georgia sought natural gas pipe and materials supply with just-in-time delivery coordination (PE66751NONST2027000000096, bids due July 23, 2026). Volusia County, Florida issued a competitive sealed bid for water and sewer operations materials compliant with American Water Works Association specifications (26-B-42LS, responses due February 4, 2026, three-year term with two optional one-year renewals); local business preferences up to five percent apply, and FEMA-funded Davis-Bacon wage and procurement requirements apply.
