UNSPSC 40171705: Forged steel pipe adapter

Pipe adapter made of forged steel

UNSPSC 40171705 Forged steel pipe adapter (Commodity) covers specialized fittings used in water and sewer infrastructure projects, though recent state and local solicitations show the code capturing a broader range of pipe connection components including welded steel adapters, PVC wyes, bell-and-spigot connections, and MJS (modular joint system) adapters rather than forged products exclusively. State and local governments procure these components as part of larger sewer main replacement, water main rehabilitation, and sanitary sewer repair contracts. Issuing bodies include county water and sanitation districts, county purchasing departments, and municipal water authorities. Pinellas County, Florida and Santa Clara County, California appear as repeat buyers; Gwinnett County, Georgia is active in the code as well.

Recent activity concentrates in California and Florida, with ancillary solicitations in Georgia. Representative opportunities include Pinellas County's October 2026 ITB for coordinated Ridgewood Estates Sewer Improvements and 82nd Avenue & 113th Street Water Main Improvements (Solicitation 260652ITBC, minimum qualification submittal due October 13, 2026, bids due November 5, 2026), which specifies approximately 500 linear feet of 12-inch PVC sanitary sewer pipe and fire hydrant and gate valve replacements; Santa Clara County's September 2026 ITB for County Sanitation District No. 2–3 Structural Defect Repair Project Phase 2 (ITBRDAFY270088, due September 17, 2026), which includes removal and replacement of vitrified clay pipe with PVC SDR26 at multiple diameters and service connection fittings including 4"×6", 4"×8", and 4"×10" wyes; and Gwinnett County's June 2026 IWQ for MJS adapters (PE77023NONST2026000000634, due June 15, 2026), seeking three 48" L301 Bell × MJS and three 48" L301 Spigot × MJS adapters with gaskets and diapers.
