UNSPSC 40172103: Copper pipe bend

Pipe bend made of copper

UNSPSC 40172103 Copper pipe bend is a Commodity code that covers specialized plumbing and piping components used in water and wastewater infrastructure repair and installation. Recent state and local opportunities under this code reflect demand for copper and allied metal fittings in sanitary sewer rehabilitation, water treatment plant upgrades, and industrial facility maintenance. Issuing bodies soliciting under the code include county sanitation districts, county water and wastewater authorities, and regional government agencies. The scope of work centers on removal and replacement of existing pipe systems, installation of new distribution and service laterals, and fabrication or supply of fittings and connectors used in pressurized and gravity-fed piping networks at municipal treatment plants, pump stations, and lift stations.

Santa Clara County in California shows the most recent activity, with two active solicitations posted in 2026. County Sanitation District No. 2-3 (Santa Clara County) issued an ITB for its Structural Defect Repair Project Phase 2, due September 17, 2026, encompassing sanitary sewer mainline point repairs, pipe-burst replacements, and mainline extensions with removal and replacement of vitrified clay pipe and cast iron using PVC SDR26 and HDPE, including wye fittings and service connection components. Broward County, Florida posted an open-end RFP for Welding and Fabrication Services due July 1, 2026, which includes metal fabrication and repairs on steel, stainless steel, and aluminum components at water treatment plants, pump stations, lift stations, and wastewater facilities. Santa Clara County also solicited bids for the Central Expressway Pavement Rehabilitation Project due May 21, 2026, a comprehensive infrastructure project that includes curb, gutter, and traffic system replacements but does not feature the piping components directly aligned with this commodity code. Recent activity concentrates in California and Florida, with California showing multiple district-level sanitation and county infrastructure procurements.
