UNSPSC 40172305: Forged steel pipe bushing

Pipe bushing made of forged steel

UNSPSC 40172305 Forged steel pipe bushing is a Commodity code that sees minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The single representative opportunity in the source — County Sanitation District No. 2-3 Structural Defect Repair Project Phase 2 (Santa Clara County, ITB, due September 17, 2026) — involves sewer infrastructure rehabilitation across multiple pipe materials and diameters, but specifies vitrified clay pipe (VCP), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), and high-density polyethylene (HDPE) replacement and extensions, along with service connection wyes and precast concrete manholes. Forged steel pipe bushings do not appear in the solicitation scope. The other three opportunities tagged to this code (City of Sarasota water main materials, Broward County welding and fabrication services, and Santa Clara County pavement rehabilitation) are similarly unrelated to forged steel pipe bushings and appear to be misallocated by the issuing bodies or data source.

No recent state and local contract opportunities in the source are actively soliciting forged steel pipe bushings as a primary or secondary material. The code shows little relevant procurement activity and does not support a pursue recommendation at this time based on current market signal.
