UNSPSC 40171613: Industrial assembled cast iron pipe hub

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

UNSPSC 40171613 Industrial assembled cast iron pipe hub (Commodity) represents a narrow commodity line for water and wastewater distribution infrastructure components, though recent state and local solicitations show the code tagged to procurement of broader pipe and fitting assemblies rather than isolated hubs alone. State and local governments buy ductile iron pipe (DIP), polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipe, associated fittings (elbows, couplings, tapping sleeves, nipples), valves, hydrants, and related water main appurtenances under this code through cities, counties, water authorities, and utility departments. Issuing bodies span municipal water utilities (City of Madison, City of Dallas, Gwinnett County, DeKalb County), regional water authorities (Beaufort-Jasper Water & Sewer Authority), county public works (Cherokee County Water and Sewerage Authority, Franklin County), and special-purpose districts. The activity is steady across routine supply contracts for commodity materials, construction projects requiring pipe and fitting procurement as materials-only components, and infrastructure replacement initiatives bundling design, materials, and labor. Solicitations run as RFQs and ITBs for supply arrangements (often three to five years with as-needed delivery), and as part of larger IFBs for construction projects incorporating pipe installation.

Recent activity concentrates in the Southeast and Upper Midwest. The City of Phoenix Public Works Department issued IFB 26SW0379 (due August 12, 2026) for industrial pipe, miscellaneous fittings, and equipment on a three-year term with two one-year options, requiring 24–48 hour delivery and firm fixed pricing. The City of Dallas posted a five-year ID/IQ master agreement for ductile iron pipe (due June 12, 2026) supporting the Water Utilities department. DeKalb County, Georgia issued a three-year multiyear contract ITB for ductile iron water pipe (due July 2, 2026). The City of Sarasota solicited materials-only bids for pipe, fittings, and appurtenances for water main replacement (ITB 26-31JS, already closed as of June 16, 2026), requiring conformance to its Potable Water Approved Material List. Orange County, Florida posted an estimated five-year, $28.7 million sewer pipes and fittings contract (Y26-126, sealed bids due January 22, 2026) with Service Disabled Veteran Business preference. Smaller jurisdictions—Madison Water Utility, Calhoun, Georgia; Franklin County, Georgia; and others—procure specific pipe and fitting quantities for water main relocation and booster pump station projects through RFQs and sealed bids. Geographic spread includes Arizona, California, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, South Carolina, and Wisconsin. Standard requirements across solicitations emphasize manufacturer certifications (ANSI, AWWA standards), delivery commitments (often next-day or within 24–48 hours for commodities), firm fixed pricing over multiyear terms, and compliance with American Iron and Steel or Build America, Buy America Act mandates on federally funded projects.
