UNSPSC 40172406: Malleable iron pipe cap

Pipe cap made of malleable iron

UNSPSC 40172406 Malleable iron pipe cap is a Commodity code that encompasses fittings and closure products used primarily in water, wastewater, and infrastructure utility systems. State and local governments procure these components as part of larger fabrication, maintenance, and construction contracts for treatment facilities, pump stations, and distribution networks rather than as standalone line items. The issuing bodies soliciting work under this code include county water and wastewater utilities, county public works departments, and infrastructure authorities managing water systems and roadway projects.

Recent activity shows Broward County Water and Wastewater Services (Florida) posted an open-end RFP for welding and fabrication services (OPN2131884B2, due July 1, 2026) that encompasses metal component repairs and fabrication at water treatment plants, pump stations, and lift stations — the types of facilities where malleable iron pipe fittings and caps are installed and maintained. Santa Clara County (California) posted an ITB for the Central Expressway Pavement Rehabilitation Project (ITBRDAFY260694, due May 21, 2026) involving infrastructure improvements but not directly specifying pipe components. Geographic concentration appears heaviest in Florida and California based on these recent postings, though procurement activity under the code is sparse and scattered across utilities rather than consolidated under a single issuing body or region. Opportunities typically emerge through water utility capital improvement programs and emergency repairs rather than recurring scheduled procurements.
