UNSPSC 40172202: Cast iron pipe blind flange

Pipe blind flange made of cast iron

UNSPSC 40172202 Cast iron pipe blind flange is a Commodity code covering flanged pipe fittings and related restraining devices that state and local water utilities, transportation departments, and public works agencies procure for water distribution systems, stormwater infrastructure, and municipal pipe networks. Recent solicitations show water utilities buying cast iron and ductile iron flanged fittings, mechanical joint restraining devices, and related components as stock items for maintenance, repairs, and ongoing system operations; these are consumable supplies rather than one-time project materials, typically ordered through term contracts with multiple-year renewal periods and fixed unit pricing.

The issuing-body mix spans city water utilities (Phoenix Water Services Department, City of Tampa), county public works (Santa Clara County, Palm Beach County Board of County Commissioners), and municipal departments. Water utilities dominate the recent activity. Geographic spread includes California (Santa Clara County), Florida (Palm Beach County, City of Tampa in Hillsborough County), and Arizona (City of Phoenix). Representative recent opportunities include Palm Beach County's IFB for mechanical joint restraining devices for ductile iron and PVC pipe (due June 4, 2026, with an anticipated contract value of $200,000 over twelve months); City of Tampa's RFQ for standard class 125 flanged fittings including 6-inch and 4-inch outlet flanges and reducers (due February 25, 2026); and City of Phoenix Water Services Department's five-year IFB for water pipe and miscellaneous fittings covering 15 product groups with quantities ranging from 2 to over 21,000 units and sealed offers due February 19, 2026. Palm Beach County applies a ten percent SBE price preference for certified small business enterprise bidders and a five percent local preference for vendors with a permanent place of business in Palm Beach County or the Glades. City of Tampa identified Tampa-based TLD LLC as an SLBE-certified supplier of pipe and pipe fittings (certification valid through May 22, 2027).
