UNSPSC 40172105: Carbon steel pipe bend

Pipe bend made of carbon steel

UNSPSC 40172105 Carbon steel pipe bend, a Commodity code, sees limited recent state and local procurement activity tied directly to the code's nominal scope. The single relevant recent opportunity comes from Santa Clara County Sanitation District No. 2-3, which posted an IFB on August 26, 2026 (due September 17, 2026) for the Structural Defect Repair Project Phase 2—a sewer infrastructure rehabilitation program involving removal and replacement of vitrified clay pipe with PVC SDR26 and HDPE pipe, including 27 4"×6" wyes, 2 4"×8" wyes, and 2 4"×10" wyes across multiple diameter mainline extensions in unincorporated eastern Santa Clara County. The work scope emphasizes pipe replacement and service connection fittings rather than carbon steel pipe bends themselves; the solicitation does not explicitly call out carbon steel bends as a line item. A second opportunity posted by Broward County on June 17, 2026 (due July 1, 2026) for welding and fabrication services touches tangentially on steel work but focuses on general metal fabrication and repairs at water treatment plants and wastewater facilities rather than pipe-bend procurement. A third opportunity from Santa Clara County for the Central Expressway Pavement Rehabilitation Project (posted April 29, 2026, due May 21, 2026) involves roadway and infrastructure work unrelated to pipe bends. The code shows sparse activity aligned with its actual product definition in recent state and local procurement.

Geographic activity concentrates in California, primarily Santa Clara County and surrounding jurisdictions, with a secondary presence in Broward County, Florida through the welding and fabrication services opening. The recent-opportunity block does not support additional geographic characterization beyond these two jurisdictions. State and local issuers are primarily county-level sanitation districts, county water and wastewater agencies, and county transportation departments. The Santa Clara County Sanitation District's September 17, 2026 deadline represents the only traceable procurement tied concretely to pipe fittings and sewer infrastructure replacement work where carbon steel pipe bends could plausibly be specified, though the posted scope emphasizes PVC and HDPE product lines rather than steel components.
