UNSPSC 40171611 Industrial copper pipe is a Commodity code that encompasses supply of industrial and utility piping materials, fittings, and related equipment to state and local water systems, utilities, and public works departments. Recent state and local solicitations show activity split between as-needed supply contracts for water system components and project-specific pipe replacement work; the City of Phoenix Water Services Department and City of Phoenix Public Works Department have each posted multi-year supply contracts for water pipe, miscellaneous fittings, and industrial pipe on an as-needed basis, while other jurisdictions solicit through capital improvement projects requiring installation of eight-inch and four-inch water mains, outfall piping, and sewer infrastructure. The code also captures specialized materials such as copper tubing and copper sulfate used in water treatment and distribution operations. Issuing bodies include municipal water and public works departments, county water utilities, and special-purpose water authorities; the Alameda County Water District, Orange County Florida (Utilities Division), and the City of Phoenix are repeat or recent buyers. Pasco County Florida and Barnwell County South Carolina posted single opportunities for chemical supply and waterline replacement respectively.
