UNSPSC 40172002: Ductile iron pipe baffle

Pipe baffle made of ductile iron

UNSPSC 40172002 Ductile iron pipe baffle is a Commodity code capturing the supply of specialized piping components and related fittings for municipal water, wastewater, and stormwater infrastructure projects. State and local governments procure ductile iron pipe (DIP) baffles, fittings, valves, and ancillary materials as stock supplies for ongoing maintenance and capital improvement projects across water distribution networks, sewer systems, and drainage corridors. Recent solicitations show municipalities buying DIP nipples with polyethylene coating, PVC and DI pipes in multiple diameters, mechanical joint fittings, gate valves, fire hydrants, curb stops, and meter setters as both materials-only bids for discrete projects and as indefinite-quantity standing supply agreements with fast-turnaround delivery requirements. Issuing bodies include city public works departments, utilities divisions, and water resource authorities in counties and municipalities. The City of Phoenix, City of Sarasota, Orange County, Gwinnett County, and the City of Palm Bay have posted recent opportunities, with a mix of small informal quotations and larger multi-line-item competitive bids reflecting the fragmented nature of municipal infrastructure procurement across geographies and funding cycles.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida and Georgia, with secondary presence in Arizona, California, and Texas. The City of Phoenix Public Works Department issued IFB 26SW0379 on July 8, 2026 for industrial pipe and fittings on a three-year supply contract with two one-year options, offers due August 12, 2026, covering HDPE and PVC pipe in diameters from 0.75 to 24 inches with 24- to 48-hour delivery and inventory maintenance requirements. The City of Calhoun, Georgia solicited sealed bids for water main relocation materials on June 18, 2026, including 12-, 8-, and 6-inch ductile iron water mains totaling over 3,700 linear feet, mechanical joint fittings, and gate valves. Orange County, Florida's Sewer Pipes and Fittings ITB (Y26-126) with response deadline of January 22, 2026 (now passed) estimated five-year spending of approximately $28.7 million for 56 line items including PVC, DI pipes, valves, and manhole components with two-day standard delivery and 24-hour in-stock availability. Gwinnett County Department of Water Resources sought DIP nipples with PE coating in four sizes via informal written quotation 128859, due April 23, 2026. These opportunities reflect steady municipal demand for reliable DIP supply with emphasis on rapid fulfillment, compliance with ANSI and AWWA standards, and firm fixed pricing across multi-year terms.
