UNSPSC 40171606: Industrial ferrous alloy pipe

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

UNSPSC 40171606 Industrial ferrous alloy pipe is a Commodity code that covers supply of industrial piping materials for municipal infrastructure, utilities, and construction projects. State and local governments procure under this code primarily for water, wastewater, stormwater, natural gas, and drainage system installation and maintenance. Recent solicitations show purchasing of HDPE and PVC pipe in various diameters, aluminum electrical transmission cable, and associated fittings and couplings on both as-needed and project-specific bases. The issuing-body mix includes city public works departments (Phoenix, Lawrenceville), municipal utilities (Lubbock Power & Light), counties (Orange County, Santa Clara County), and university systems (Texas A&M). Cities and counties dominate the recent activity, with Phoenix appearing twice in the past two months for three-year supply contracts covering airports and infrastructure operations.

Recent opportunities span Florida, Georgia, Texas, Arizona, and California.
