UNSPSC 40172108: Titanium pipe bend

Pipe bend made of Titanium

UNSPSC 40172108 Titanium pipe bend is a Commodity code representing specialized metal pipe products used in infrastructure rehabilitation and fabrication work. State and local governments buy titanium and other specialty metal pipe components primarily for water and wastewater system repairs, though the recent opportunities solicited under this code show limited direct demand for titanium pipe bends specifically. Instead, the solicitations reflect broader procurement for metal piping systems, welding and fabrication services, and infrastructure rehabilitation where metal pipe components are integral to the work scope. Issuing bodies include county sanitation and water districts, county public works departments, and multi-agency county procurement offices. The work encompasses removal and replacement of deteriorated pipe infrastructure with modern materials, fabrication and welding of metal components at treatment and lift stations, and installation of new service connections and extensions as part of comprehensive facility rehabilitation programs.

Recent activity clusters in California, where Santa Clara County's Sanitation District No. 2-3 posted an invitation to bid (ITB, ITBRDAFY270088, due September 17, 2026) for the Structural Defect Repair Project Phase 2, specifying replacement of vitrified clay and cast iron sewer pipe with PVC and HDPE rather than titanium components, and Santa Clara County posted an ITB (ITBRDAFY260694, due May 21, 2026) for the Central Expressway Pavement Rehabilitation Project involving comprehensive roadway and infrastructure work. Broward County, Florida posted a request for proposals (OPN2131884B2, due July 1, 2026) for open-end welding and fabrication services at water and wastewater facilities, covering portable and shop welding on steel, stainless steel, and aluminum components with annual pass-through allowances of $107,000 and a two-year initial contract term with three optional one-year renewals. The code shows sparse relevant recent activity; titanium pipe bend procurement at the state and local level appears limited compared to broader metal fabrication and standard infrastructure pipe replacement work.
