UNSPSC 40172102: Malleable iron pipe bend

Pipe bend made of malleable iron

UNSPSC 40172102 Malleable iron pipe bend is a Commodity code that appears in state and local procurement primarily within water infrastructure and utility construction projects, though recent solicitation activity shows minimal direct procurement of malleable iron pipe bends as standalone products. Instead, the code tags opportunities where pipe bends and related fittings are components of larger water main installation, pump station construction, and wastewater system work. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code include county water authorities, county departments of water and wastewater services, and municipal governments undertaking infrastructure projects. Broward County in Florida has posted multiple welding and fabrication service contracts that encompass metal component repair and installation at water treatment and wastewater facilities, which would include fabrication and installation of specialized piping components.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida and Georgia. Bryan County, Georgia issued two infrastructure solicitations in March 2026—a booster pump station construction project (due March 31, 2026) and a water main extension of approximately 14,350 linear feet along Interstate 16 (also due March 31, 2026)—both requiring installation of 30-inch water mains with associated valves, hydrants, and appurtenances. Santa Clara County, California solicited a comprehensive pavement and infrastructure rehabilitation project on Central Expressway (due May 21, 2026) that included removal and replacement of inductive traffic loops and traffic signal modifications. Broward County's open-end welding and fabrication services contract (due July 1, 2026) explicitly covers metal repairs and installations at water treatment plants and wastewater facilities, with hourly labor rates, material allowances totaling $107,000 annually for permit fees and miscellaneous parts, and a two-year initial term with optional one-year renewals. The Bryan County projects are subject to Build America, Buy America Act compliance and Davis-Bacon wage requirements, and both mandate performance and payment bonds equal to 100 percent of contract price upon award.
