UNSPSC 40172103: Copper pipe bend

Pipe bend made of copper

UNSPSC 40172103 Copper pipe bend is a Commodity code that captures metal pipe components and fabrication services purchased by state and local water, wastewater, and utility infrastructure agencies. Recent solicitations show that governments under this code procure welding and metal fabrication services, piping system installations, and associated materials for water treatment plants, pump stations, lift stations, and wastewater facilities — work that ranges from portable and shop welding on steel and stainless steel components to the fabrication and installation of pressurized piping systems serving municipal water distribution networks. Issuing bodies include county water and wastewater departments, county boards of commissioners overseeing utility infrastructure, and special-purpose utility districts. Broward County, Florida and Bryan County, Georgia have each posted multiple opportunities in the past four months.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida and Georgia. Broward County Water and Wastewater Services issued an RFP (Solicitation OPN2131884B2) on June 17, 2026, due July 1, 2026, for an open-end welding and fabrication services contract with a two-year initial term and three optional one-year renewals; the contract provides hourly rates for onsite and in-shop labor, emergency services, and equipment rental, with an annual $107,000 pass-through allowance for miscellaneous parts and materials. Bryan County, Georgia posted two sealed-bid water infrastructure projects in March 2026 due March 31, 2026: a booster pump station construction (Solicitation PE77523NONST2026000000068) that includes installation of 87 linear feet of 30-inch PVC water main and a separate 14,350 linear feet water main extension (Solicitation PE77523NONST2026000000069) featuring horizontal directional drilling and 30-inch piping installation along Interstate 16. Both Georgia solicitations are federally and state funded through the American Rescue Plan Act and Drinking Water State Revolving Fund, require Build America, Buy America compliance, and mandate 100 percent performance and payment bonds.
