UNSPSC 40172302: Carbon steel pipe bushing

Pipe bushing made of carbon steel

UNSPSC 40172302 Carbon steel pipe bushing is a Commodity code that encompasses fittings and connection components used in water and wastewater infrastructure rehabilitation and new construction. State and local governments buy these bushings as part of larger pipe replacement, extension, and repair projects in municipal water systems, sanitation districts, and county utilities operations. Recent solicitations show bushing procurement embedded within comprehensive sewer and water main work — the components are specified as part of service connection fittings (wyes in multiple diameters) and appurtenance assemblies rather than bought standalone. Issuing bodies include sanitation districts, cities, and counties with water and wastewater operations; Santa Clara County and Broward County appear as repeat buyers with active infrastructure rehabilitation programs.

Activity concentrates in California and Florida. Santa Clara County Sanitation District No. 2-3 posted an IFB (ITBRDAFY270088) on August 26, 2026 for the Structural Defect Repair Project Phase 2, due September 17, 2026, which specifies removal and replacement of service connection fittings including twenty-seven 4"×6" wyes, two 4"×8" wyes, and two 4"×10" wyes as part of sewer mainline rehabilitation in the unincorporated eastern foothills. The City of Sarasota posted a materials-only ITB (#2631JS) on June 29, 2026, due June 16, 2026, for pipe, fittings, and appurtenances including bushing-type components conforming to its Potable Water Approved Material List, with ninety-day delivery to the Utilities Department and contract term of one year plus two one-year renewal options. Sarasota required vendors to register with the Florida Division of Corporations prior to award. No recent opportunities show carbon steel bushings as a primary commodity; the code appears to capture incidental components within larger water and wastewater infrastructure projects rather than discrete procurement categories.
