UNSPSC 40171625: Industrial zinc pipe

Pipe with a pressure rating of more than 2500 psi made of zinc

UNSPSC 40171625 Industrial zinc pipe is a Commodity code naming products that state and local governments procure for water infrastructure, stormwater systems, and construction projects. Recent activity shows no direct zinc-pipe solicitations; instead, the code tags broader construction and materials-supply opportunities where zinc and other industrial piping appears as a component within larger scope packages. The City of Phoenix Public Works Department and the City of Augusta, Georgia have solicited industrial pipe supply on an as-needed basis covering HDPE, PVC, and associated fittings under multi-year agreements, but neither explicitly identifies zinc pipe as a primary commodity. Collier County, Florida has issued multiple construction IFBs for water treatment plant improvements, boardwalk restoration, sports complex development, and perimeter fencing projects that incorporate piping systems and materials; these tend to specify ductile iron, Schedule 80 CPVC, reinforcement steel, and concrete rather than zinc-coated products. The code appears to reflect a legacy taxonomy entry that does not align well with current state and local procurement language or recent solicitations.

Recent opportunities cluster in Florida counties (Collier, Orange, Palm Bay in Brevard) and Arizona (City of Phoenix), with secondary activity in Georgia (Augusta) and Texas (Fort Worth). Geographic concentration is light across the opportunities block. Representative solicitations include Collier County Bid 26-8683R for South County Regional Water Treatment Plant lime softening improvements (IFB, September 21, 2026 deadline, $4.27 million anticipated budget) specifying ductile iron piping, Schedule 80 CPVC chemical lines, and reinforced concrete structures; the City of Phoenix IFB 26-SW-0379 for industrial pipe and fittings supply (August 12, 2026 deadline, three-year term with extensions covering HDPE and PVC); and the City of Augusta ITB 27-116 for HDPE pipe, couplings, and end sections for stormwater drainage (September 29, 2026 deadline). None of these opportunities explicitly solicit zinc pipe, suggesting the code classification may not reflect active state and local procurement strategy for this product line. Firms pursuing work in water infrastructure or municipal construction should verify code alignment with their product specification before investing in pursuit.
