UNSPSC 40172303: Cast iron pipe bushing

Pipe bushing made of cast iron

UNSPSC 40172303 Cast iron pipe bushing is a Commodity code covering individual fitting components used in water and sewer infrastructure repair and replacement. State and local governments purchase these bushings as discrete parts within larger piping systems, typically as components of mainline rehabilitation, service connection fittings, and pipe extensions rather than as standalone products. The issuing bodies soliciting under this code are county sanitation districts, municipal water utilities, and county water and wastewater services departments — all with direct responsibility for potable water and sanitary sewer system maintenance and capital improvement projects.

Recent activity centers in California and Florida. Santa Clara County Sanitation District No. 2-3 posted ITB ITBRDAFY270088 on August 26, 2026 (due September 17, 2026) for its Structural Defect Repair Project Phase 2, a sewer infrastructure rehabilitation in the unincorporated eastern foothills that includes removal and replacement of service connection fittings such as wyes (27 units of 4"×6", 2 units of 4"×8", and 2 units of 4"×10") alongside mainline pipe segments; the scope specifies replacement of existing vitrified clay pipe and cast iron with PVC and HDPE. The City of Sarasota issued ITB 2631JS on June 29, 2026 (deadline June 16, 2026) for materials-only procurement for its Small AC Water Main Replacement-FY24 project, requiring all materials to conform to the City's Potable Water Approved Material List and mandating delivery within 90 calendar days to the Utilities Department. Broward County's June 17, 2026 RFP for welding and fabrication services (due July 1, 2026) covers Water and Wastewater Services facilities where such work would involve component repairs and installation. Cast iron bushings appear most relevant to the Santa Clara District's sewer rehabilitation scope where service connection fittings and mainline repairs are central to the work.
