UNSPSC 40172314 Galvanized steel pipe bushing is a Commodity code that encompasses fittings and connection hardware used in municipal water and wastewater infrastructure projects. State and local governments procure these components as part of larger sewer rehabilitation, water main replacement, and pipe infrastructure programs—typically bundled in materials-only solicitations or as line items within comprehensive infrastructure repair and construction contracts. The issuing bodies include county sanitation districts, municipal water utilities, and county water and wastewater services departments. Recent activity shows a mix of competitive jurisdictions actively upgrading aging water and sewer systems across different regions.
