UNSPSC 40171612: Industrial cast iron pipe

Pipe with a pressure rating of more than 2500 psi made of cast iron

UNSPSC 40171612 Industrial cast iron pipe (Commodity) covers the supply of cast iron and ductile iron water and sewer pipe for municipal infrastructure projects, though recent activity shows state and local procurement offices increasingly sourcing ductile iron pipe (a related but technically distinct commodity) alongside cast iron specifications. State and local governments buying under this code procure replacement and new installation piping for water main rehabilitation, sanitary sewer improvements, stormwater systems, and emergency outfall replacement. Issuing bodies span county public works departments (Pinellas County, Gwinnett County, DeKalb County, Florida), municipal water utilities (City of Tampa, City of Dallas, City of Phoenix, City of Sarasota), and city engineering departments (City of Calhoun, City of Lavonia). Recent solicitations reflect a mix of as-needed supply agreements and project-specific materials procurement, often bundled with fittings, valves, and appurtenances.

Geographic activity concentrates in Florida, Georgia, Arizona, and Texas. Florida has posted multiple recent opportunities: Pinellas County's coordinated sewer and water main improvements (ITB 260652ITBC, due November 5, 2026, requiring 500 linear feet of 12-inch PVC sanitary sewer and 6,800 linear feet of 6-inch water main replacement via open cut and horizontal directional drilling); City of Tampa's ductile iron pipe bid for 4" to 6" sizes conforming to ANSI/AWWA standards (ITB 26-P-00565, due October 16, 2026, with SLBE five-percent bid discount eligibility); and City of Palm Bay's I-95 outfall pipe replacement (ITB 41ITB26, due July 14, 2026). Georgia has seen frequent commodity purchases through Gwinnett County's informal written quotations for large diameter ductile iron pipe, fittings, and repair parts (IWQ 135620, IWQ 137554, IWQ 138607, posting dates ranging August through September 2026), and City of Calhoun's water main relocation supply bid covering ductile iron in 12", 8", and 6" sizes (due June 18, 2026). Phoenix continues standing supply agreements for HDPE and PVC pipe and fittings on three-year terms with two one-year options (IFB 27SW0447 and IFB 26SW0379, commencing December 1, 2026); City of Dallas seeks a five-year ID/IQ master agreement for ductile iron pipe to Water Utilities (due June 12, 2026). Most contracts award to the lowest responsive, responsible bidder, with delivery typically required within 14 to 60 days of order, and performance bonds at 100% of contract value standard for construction-related scope.
