UNSPSC 40171701: Brass pipe adapter

Pipe adapter made of brass

UNSPSC 40171701 Brass pipe adapter is a Commodity code covering pipe fittings and adapters used in water and sewer infrastructure projects. State and local governments procure these components as part of water main replacement, sewer line rehabilitation, and sanitary sewer improvements. Recent solicitations show actual buying patterns focused on MJS adapters, service connection wyes, and other specialized fittings integrated into larger utility infrastructure contracts where the adapters serve as enabling components rather than standalone purchases. Counties and special-purpose water and sanitation districts drive the demand, typically bundling adapter procurement with pipe, manholes, and associated labor under unified infrastructure improvement programs. Pinellas County, Florida and Santa Clara County sanitation and water districts appear as active buyers in the recent record.

Activity under this code concentrates in Florida and California, with representative recent opportunities including Pinellas County's Ridgewood Estates Sewer Improvements and 82nd Avenue & 113th Street Water Main Improvements Project (IFB 260652ITBC, qualification due October 13, 2026 and final bids due November 5, 2026), which called for sewer and water main replacement with associated fittings; Santa Clara County Sanitation District No. 2-3's Structural Defect Repair Project Phase 2 (ITB ITBRDAFY270088, due September 17, 2026), encompassing thirty-five sewer mainline point repairs with removal and replacement of service connection wyes; and Gwinnett County's informal written quotation for MJS adapters (IWQ 132533, due June 15, 2026), requesting three 48-inch Bell X and three 48-inch Spigot X MJS adapters with gaskets. These opportunities reflect infrastructure rehabilitation and water system upgrades driven by aging utility systems and regulatory compliance objectives.
