UNSPSC 40172401: Brass pipe cap

Pipe cap made of brass

UNSPSC 40172401 Brass pipe cap is a Commodity code that covers metal pipe fittings and caps used in water, wastewater, and utility infrastructure projects. State and local governments buy brass pipe caps and related metal fittings as components in sewer rehabilitation, water treatment, and utility distribution work—typically as part of larger capital projects involving pipe replacement, system upgrades, and infrastructure repairs. The code sees solicitation activity from county sanitation and water districts, county public works departments, and wastewater agencies. Issuing bodies range from special-purpose sanitation districts to county-level Water and Wastewater Services divisions that manage multiplex regional infrastructure.

Recent activity centers in California and Florida. Santa Clara County's Sanitation District No. 2-3 issued an ITB (ITBRDAFY270088) on August 26, 2026, for Structural Defect Repair Project Phase 2, a sewer infrastructure rehabilitation program due September 17, 2026, encompassing replacement of vitrified clay pipe with PVC and HDPE, removal and replacement of service connection fittings including wyes (4"×6", 4"×8", and 4"×10"), and installation of precast concrete sanitary sewer manholes and service laterals. Broward County, Florida issued an RFP (OPN2131884B2) on June 17, 2026, for welding and fabrication services due July 1, 2026, covering metal fabrication and repairs on steel, stainless steel, aluminum, and black steel components at water treatment plants, pump stations, and wastewater facilities—a scope that encompasses metal fitting installation and replacement. Santa Clara County also solicited bids (ITBRDAFY260694) for a pavement rehabilitation project posted April 29, 2026, due May 21, 2026, which includes utility and infrastructure work but does not plainly call for brass pipe caps as a primary component. The most concrete recent opportunity directly aligned with the code is the Sanitation District No. 2-3 project, where service connection fittings are core to the scope.
