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 is a Commodity code that encompasses the supply of ductile iron water pipe, ductile iron repair parts and spools, and related fittings and appurtenances for municipal water systems and wastewater infrastructure. State and local water utilities, counties, and cities are the primary soliciting bodies, with recent activity concentrated among water departments serving growing or aging infrastructure corridors. The work consists of supplying materials for water main installation, replacement, and rehabilitation projects—both routine as-needed inventory and project-specific procurements tied to capital improvement programs. Solicitations range from small informal quotations for replacement components to large multi-year master agreements and materials-only contracts supporting comprehensive infrastructure upgrades.

Recent activity appears heavily concentrated in Florida, Georgia, and the Upper Midwest, with notable recent solicitations including the City of Phoenix Public Works Department's three-year as-needed supply contract for industrial pipe and fittings (IFB 26-SW-0379, due August 12, 2026), DeKalb County Georgia's three-year ductile iron water pipe multiyear contract (ITB 2026-036, due July 2, 2026), the City of Dallas Water Utilities' five-year ID/IQ master agreement for ductile iron pipe (BG2600030409, due June 12, 2026), the City of Sarasota's materials-only bid for potable water pipe and fittings conforming to an approved materials list (ITB #26-31JS, deadline passed), and the Beaufort-Jasper Water & Sewer Authority's 16-inch water transmission main replacement project in South Carolina (CIP-2305, due March 4, 2026). Gwinnett County Georgia has posted multiple informal written quotations for ductile iron components including repair parts, spools, and pipe nipples (IWQ 131138, IWQ 130376, and IWQ 128859 in May 2026). Additional recent opportunities span Connecticut, Wisconsin, and South Carolina municipal water systems, reflecting continued demand for water infrastructure renewal across multiple regions.
