UNSPSC 40172315: Bronze pipe bushing

UNSPSC 40172315 Bronze pipe bushing is a Commodity code that encompasses fittings and appurtenances used in potable water and sanitary sewer infrastructure projects. State and local governments procure these components as part of water main replacements, sewer system rehabilitation, and related utility infrastructure work. The recent opportunities under this code show that procurement bodies are sourcing bronze bushings and similar fittings alongside broader pipe and fitting assemblies for distribution and collection system upgrades, typically as materials-only line items within larger construction or materials delivery contracts. Issuing bodies include county sanitation districts, municipalities, and county water and wastewater services departments. The scope reflects demand driven by aging infrastructure replacement initiatives and system extensions in suburban and urban areas.

Activity under the code 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 includes removal and replacement of service connection fittings such as wyes and involves extensive sewer mainline rehabilitation in unincorporated eastern foothills. The City of Sarasota posted an ITB (2631JS) on June 29, 2026 for materials-only procurement under the Small AC Water Main Replacement-FY24 project, specifying approved pipe, fittings, and appurtenances conforming to the City's Potable Water Approved Material List, with delivery required within ninety calendar days of purchase order issuance to the Utilities Department. Both solicitations emphasize strict material specification compliance and manufacturer approval, reflecting the infrastructure standards applied in water and wastewater procurement.
