UNSPSC 40171706: Malleable iron pipe adapter

Pipe adapter made of malleable iron

UNSPSC 40171706 Malleable iron pipe adapter is a Commodity code covering water infrastructure fittings and related components that state and local water utilities and public works departments source for distribution system construction, rehabilitation, and maintenance. Recent solicitations show demand for adapter products ranging from specialized MJS adapters for water system installations to broader water pipe and miscellaneous fittings procurement supporting multi-year supply contracts. Issuing bodies include county water departments, city water services divisions, and municipal purchasing offices, with activity concentrated among mid-sized water utilities managing routine replacement and system expansion work. The scope spans both point-source procurement of specific adapter configurations and line-item components within larger infrastructure supply agreements, all subject to potable-water certification standards including AWWA, ASTM, and NSF specifications.

Recent activity appears in Georgia and Arizona. Gwinnett County Department of Water Resources issued an Informal Written Quotation (IWQ 132533) due June 15, 2026, for three 48-inch L301 Bell X MJS adapters with gaskets and diapers and three 48-inch L301 Spigot X MJS adapters, with delivery to the county's Central Facility in Lawrenceville, Georgia.

Both solicitations enforce standard compliance certifications and supplier qualification requirements typical of public water utility procurement.
