UNSPSC 40171626: Industrial glass pipe

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

UNSPSC 40171626 Industrial glass pipe is a Commodity code covering electrical distribution piping and specialized conduit systems used in power-transmission and utility infrastructure. State and local governments procure under this code primarily for municipal utility expansions, outfall and stormwater pipe replacements, and emergency infrastructure repairs. Recent solicitations show demand for primary 15 KV outdoor pipe cable, coastal-protection outfall piping, and stormwater rehabilitation systems—purchases driven by aging infrastructure, environmental compliance requirements, and emergency replacement needs rather than routine maintenance restocking.

Issuing bodies soliciting under the code span municipal utilities, county governments, and city public works departments. Lubbock Power & Light (LP&L), a Texas municipal utility, requested 3,000 feet of #40 aluminum primary 15 KV outdoor pipe cable under quote request 26-7014-ELD, with quotes due September 25, 2026. The City of Palm Bay, Florida issued an ITB for the I-95 Outfall Pipe Replacement project (Bid #41ITB26) with bids due July 14, 2026, covering removal and installation of replacement pipe infrastructure to restore drainage and environmental compliance along the I-95 corridor; the City also released a pre-solicitation RFI on May 12, 2026 (due June 9, 2026) soliciting input on stormwater pipe rehabilitation and replacement solutions for the Malabar Road corridor. Orange County, Florida issued an IFB for emergency replacement of two bridges (Y26-742, estimated project cost $6,202,246.05, bids due July 7, 2026), though this opportunity appears tangentially related to the code's nominal scope. Recent activity concentrates in Florida and Texas, with Florida showing repeat demand from Palm Bay across multiple infrastructure corridors and emergency response scenarios.
