UNSPSC 40172201: Carbon steel pipe blind flange

Pipe blind flange made of carbon steel

UNSPSC 40172201 Carbon steel pipe blind flange is a Commodity code that covers flanged pipe fittings and related products used in water distribution, infrastructure rehabilitation, and municipal utility systems. State and local governments procure these items primarily for water system operations, pavement and infrastructure rehabilitation projects, and general utility maintenance. The issuing bodies soliciting under this code span water departments, county public works offices, and city purchasing departments.

Recent activity shows that state and local solicitations under this code address both direct material procurement and larger infrastructure projects incorporating these components. Santa Clara County issued ITB ITBRDAFY260694 in April 2026 for the Central Expressway Pavement Rehabilitation Project, a comprehensive road rehabilitation effort that includes related utility infrastructure work; Palm Beach County issued IFB #26-038/RR in April 2026 for mechanical joint restraining devices (firm, fixed unit pricing for ductile iron pipe and PVC pipe restraining devices with a twelve-month initial term and four optional renewal periods); the City of Tampa issued RFQ 26-P-00152 in March 2026 for Standard Class 125 Flanged Fittings; and the City of Phoenix Water Services Department issued IFB 260217 in February 2026 for a five-year water pipe and miscellaneous fittings contract covering 15 product groups. Geographic spread reflects activity in California, Florida, and Arizona, with repeat procurement from established municipal water and public works departments.
