UNSPSC 40171605: Industrial high yield steel pipe

Pipe with a pressure rating of more than 2500 psi made of high yield steel

UNSPSC 40171605 Industrial high yield steel pipe (Commodity) is solicited by state and local governments primarily for water infrastructure, stormwater systems, natural gas distribution, and bridge replacement projects. Recent state and local procurement under this code spans supply contracts for pipe materials, fabrication services, and construction projects incorporating steel pipe as a critical component—ranging from inventory supply agreements to project-specific material procurement for utility system improvements and public works.

State procurement offices, county utilities departments, and municipal public works and water authorities dominate the issuing-body mix. The State of California, Orange County Florida, Gwinnett County Georgia, the City of Phoenix, the City of Lawrenceville Georgia, the City of Palm Bay Florida, and Notla Water Authority Georgia have all posted opportunities under or closely related to this code within the past four months. Recent solicitations span supply contracts (California's RFB-IS-27200030 for steel materials, posted July 14, 2026 with bids due July 29, 2026; Phoenix's IFB 26-SW-0379 for industrial pipe and fittings on an as-needed basis, posted July 8, 2026 with offers due August 12, 2026), construction projects incorporating pipe replacement (Orange County's emergency bridge replacement project Y26-742, bid deadline July 7, 2026 at an estimated project cost of $6,202,246.05; Palm Bay's I-95 Outfall Pipe Replacement, ITB posted June 8, 2026 with bids due July 14, 2026), and material procurement for utility system improvements (Lawrenceville's natural gas pipe supply for DOT Project 13895, IFB posted June 17, 2026 with bids due July 23, 2026; Gwinnett County's stormwater pipe annual contract BL079-26, ITB posted April 16, 2026 with bids due May 19, 2026 for reinforced concrete pipe, HDPE, and corrugated metal pipe). Geographic concentration appears strongest in Florida (Orange County, Palm Bay) and Georgia (Gwinnett County, Lawrenceville, Notla Water Authority), with activity also in California and Arizona.
