UNSPSC 40172107: Stainless steel pipe bend

Pipe bend made of Stainless steel

UNSPSC 40172107 Stainless steel pipe bend is a Commodity code that covers metal pipe fittings and components used primarily in water and wastewater infrastructure projects. State and local procurement under this code reflects actual demand from sanitation districts, county water authorities, and public works departments for pipe bends, wyes, fittings, and related stainless steel or steel components integral to sewer rehabilitation, mainline extensions, and treatment facility repairs. The issuing bodies soliciting under the code span regional water and wastewater authorities, county sanitation districts, and county departments managing water treatment and wastewater services. Procurement preferences for small business enterprises and county business enterprises appear in active opportunities.

Recent activity shows concentration in California. Santa Clara County Sanitation District No. 2-3 posted an IFB (ITBRDAFY270088) due September 17, 2026 for the Structural Defect Repair Project Phase 2, a sewer rehabilitation program requiring removal and replacement of service connection fittings including 4"×6", 4"×8", and 4"×10" wyes alongside PVC and HDPE pipe segments across multiple diameters. Broward County posted an open-end RFP (OPN2131884B2) due July 1, 2026 for welding and fabrication services spanning stainless steel, steel, and aluminum components at water treatment plants, pump stations, and wastewater facilities. A third Santa Clara County solicitation (ITBRDAFY260694) due May 21, 2026 addressed pavement rehabilitation with structural elements but did not highlight pipe fittings as a primary scope item. The code shows limited recent activity narrowly focused on wastewater infrastructure repair and replacement rather than broader industrial piping applications.
