UNSPSC 40172106: Duplex steel pipe bend

Pipe bend made of Duplex steel

UNSPSC 40172106 Duplex steel pipe bend is a Commodity code for specialized piping components used in water infrastructure and municipal utility networks. State and local governments procure duplex steel pipe bends primarily for sewer rehabilitation, water treatment systems, and wastewater facility upgrades. The issuing bodies soliciting under this code span county sanitation districts, county water and wastewater services departments, and municipal utilities across multiple jurisdictions. Recent opportunities show that state and local procurement under this code occurs alongside broader infrastructure rehabilitation and fabrication services contracts rather than as standalone pipe-bend purchases, reflecting integration of these components into larger projects managed by single contractors responsible for design, fabrication, and installation.

Santa Clara County and Broward County represent the primary recent activity. Santa Clara County's Sanitation District No. 2-3 Structural Defect Repair Project Phase 2, solicitation ITBRDAFY270088 posted August 26, 2026 with bids due September 17, 2026 by 2:00 p.m., involves sewer mainline rehabilitation and extension work requiring PVC and HDPE pipe replacement, service connection fittings including wyes, and related sewer infrastructure components across the unincorporated eastern foothills. Broward County's open-end Welding and Fabrication Services contract, solicitation OPN2131884B2 posted June 17, 2026 with proposals due July 1, 2026, covers metal fabrication and welding services for water treatment plants, pump stations, lift stations, and wastewater facilities, with compensation structured on hourly labor rates, unit prices for surface preparation, and equipment rental over an initial two-year term with three optional one-year renewals. These contracts indicate that duplex steel pipe bends are procured as components within larger infrastructure rehabilitation and fabrication scopes rather than as standalone commodity items, suggesting bid opportunities typically flow through general contractors and fabrication service providers managing entire projects.
