UNSPSC 40172206: Copper pipe blind flange

Pipe blind flange made of copper

UNSPSC 40172206 Copper pipe blind flange is a Commodity code that captures specialized plumbing and piping components used in municipal water and wastewater infrastructure repair and rehabilitation projects. State and local governments procure these fittings as part of larger sewer line replacement, pipe bursting, and sanitary sewer extension programs. The issuing bodies soliciting under this code are primarily county-level sanitation districts and county public works departments managing infrastructure rehabilitation in unincorporated areas and along major transportation corridors.

Santa Clara County has posted two representative recent opportunities that touch this commodity family. County Sanitation District No. 2-3 issued an ITB (ITBRDAFY270088) on August 26, 2026 for the Structural Defect Repair Project Phase 2, due September 17, 2026, which includes removal and replacement of service connection fittings such as twenty-seven 4"×6" wyes, two 4"×8" wyes, and two 4"×10" wyes alongside PVC and HDPE mainline pipe installations across thirty-five point repairs and two mainline extensions in the unincorporated eastern foothills. Santa Clara County also issued an ITB (ITBRDAFY260694) on April 29, 2026 for the Central Expressway Pavement Rehabilitation Project between Bowers Avenue and Scott Boulevard, due May 21, 2026, which encompasses pavement rehabilitation, curb and gutter installation, and related improvements but does not explicitly itemize blind flanges or specialized fittings in the posted summary. Recent activity is concentrated in California, specifically Santa Clara County jurisdictions conducting sewer infrastructure rehabilitation and roadway improvements.
