UNSPSC 40171907: Galvanized iron pipe reserve flange

Galvanized iron pipe reserve flange, galvanized is a checmical process by which iron is covered with other metal. The galvanization function is to protect the treated metal surface against corrosion.

UNSPSC 40171907 Galvanized iron pipe reserve flange is a Commodity code that covers specialized pipe fittings and components used in municipal water and wastewater infrastructure systems. While the code name specifies galvanized iron, state and local governments procure this code more broadly to cover reserve flanges, connection fittings, wyes, and related flange assemblies that serve as repair and replacement components in sanitary sewer systems, water distribution networks, and related utility infrastructure. Issuing bodies include county sanitation districts, county public works departments, and municipal utility authorities, typically procuring these materials as line items within larger infrastructure rehabilitation and pipeline replacement projects rather than as standalone commodity buys.

Santa Clara County has driven recent activity under this code, with the County Sanitation District No. 2-3 posting an ITB for its Structural Defect Repair Project Phase 2 (ITBRDAFY270088) due September 17, 2026, which includes removal and replacement of service connection fittings such as 4"×6", 4"×8", and 4"×10" wyes as part of a broader sanitary sewer mainline rehabilitation program in the unincorporated eastern foothills. A second Santa Clara County opportunity, the Central Expressway Pavement Rehabilitation Project ITB (ITBRDAFY260694) due May 21, 2026, focused primarily on roadway work but included utility coordination. California represents the primary geographic locus of recent posting activity under this code, with Santa Clara County appearing as the repeat buyer. The code shows limited recent solicitation volume overall, suggesting that reserve flange and fitting components are typically absorbed into broader infrastructure contracts rather than stand-alone procurements.
