UNSPSC 40172102: Malleable iron pipe bend

Pipe bend made of malleable iron

UNSPSC 40172102 Malleable iron pipe bend (Commodity) describes fittings and connectors for water and wastewater infrastructure, though recent state and local solicitations show that procurement under this code spans a broader set of piping materials and assemblies. Santa Clara County's Sanitation District No. 2-3 Structural Defect Repair Project Phase 2, solicited in August 2026, required wyes (service connection fittings) in 4"×6", 4"×8", and 4"×10" sizes alongside PVC and HDPE pipe for sewer mainline rehabilitation, while Broward County's June 2026 welding and fabrication services contract encompassed metal components and repairs across water treatment plants, pump stations, and wastewater facilities. State and local procurement bodies issuing under this code include county sanitation and wastewater districts, county water and wastewater services departments, and municipal utility agencies. These are typically repeat purchasers managing ongoing infrastructure maintenance and capital projects in sewer, water, and stormwater systems.

Recent activity clusters in California and Florida. Santa Clara County has posted multiple infrastructure rehabilitation solicitations in 2026, including the sanitation district project (due September 17, 2026) and a separate Central Expressway pavement rehabilitation project (due May 21, 2026); Broward County issued its open-end welding and fabrication services contract with a July 1, 2026 deadline. Both California and Florida activity reflects ongoing capital programs in water and wastewater infrastructure repair and replacement, with project completion windows ranging from 65 to 142 working days. Solicitation vehicles include ITBs (invitational bid notices) and RFPs, with physical bid submission required in California and electronic submission through procurement portals in Florida. SBE and CBE procurement preferences apply in Broward County; California issuances do not reference set-aside designations in available summaries.
