UNSPSC 40172402: Carbon steel pipe cap

Pipe cap made of carbon steel

UNSPSC 40172402 Carbon steel pipe cap is a Commodity code that covers small-diameter steel pipe fittings and closures used primarily in water and wastewater infrastructure repair and fabrication. State and local governments procure these components as part of sewer rehabilitation projects, water treatment plant maintenance, and allied metal fabrication work. The recent opportunities block shows issuing bodies including county sanitation districts, county water and wastewater departments, and county government agencies soliciting through IFB and open-end contract vehicles. Pipe caps and related fittings appear as line items within larger infrastructure rehabilitation scopes rather than standalone procurements.

Santa Clara County and Broward County drove recent activity. Santa Clara County's Sanitation District No. 2-3 issued ITB ITBRDAFY270088 (due September 17, 2026) for the Structural Defect Repair Project Phase 2, a sewer mainline rehabilitation program that included removal and replacement of vitrified clay pipe with PVC and HDPE pipe, service connection wyes, and related fittings across eastern unincorporated areas of Santa Clara County. Broward County issued an open-end welding and fabrication services solicitation (OPN2131884B2, due July 1, 2026) for Water and Wastewater Services covering metal fabrication and repairs at treatment plants, pump stations, and wastewater facilities that would encompass pipe fittings as component parts of larger repair work. A third opportunity from Santa Clara County (ITBRDAFY260694, due May 21, 2026) for the Central Expressway Pavement Rehabilitation Project did not directly reference carbon steel pipe caps. Geographic activity centers on California, particularly Santa Clara County and Broward County in Florida, with limited visibility into other jurisdictions in the most recent block.
