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, yet the recent state and local opportunities indexed under it do not reflect procurement of glass piping materials. The code shows little relevant recent activity. The source records five opportunities posted between April and June 2026 — two bridge-replacement ITBs from Orange County Florida, one outfall-pipe IFB from the City of Palm Bay, one stormwater-pipe RFI also from Palm Bay, one laboratory-testing ITB from Palm Bay, and one LIMS RFI from Santa Clara County — none of which involve industrial glass pipe procurement. The Orange County bridge solicitations (Y26742, due July 7, 2026, estimated at $6,202,246.05; and references to Sewer Pipes and Fittings Y26-126, a five-year, approximately $28.7 million arrangement) address structural and sewer infrastructure but do not specify glass pipe materials. The Palm Bay outfall-pipe IFB (41ITB26, due July 14, 2026) addresses replacement piping infrastructure and environmental compliance but does not name glass pipe as the material of choice.

The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual recent procurement suggests either miscoding by the issuing bodies or that industrial glass pipe is not currently a priority material class in active state and local water, wastewater, and infrastructure projects in the jurisdictions tracked. Potential buyers in this code space — county utilities departments, municipal water and wastewater authorities, and regional drainage agencies — remain active in pipe-system projects, but are sourcing ductile-iron, PVC, and specialized outfall materials rather than glass pipe. No geographic concentration, repeat-buyer pattern, or forward procurement signal supports pursuit under this code at present.
