UNSPSC 40172407: Stainless steel pipe cap

Pipe cap made of stainless steel

UNSPSC 40172407 Stainless steel pipe cap, a Commodity code, covers metallic pipe fittings and closure components used in infrastructure repair and construction. State and local governments procure these components primarily for water and wastewater system rehabilitation, where they serve as termination points, junction closures, and specialized connection interfaces in sanitary and potable water lines. The code draws solicitations from special districts, county sanitation authorities, and county water and wastewater agencies performing mainline repair, replacement, and extension work on aging pipe systems. Work under this code involves specification and procurement of pipe caps as part of larger infrastructure projects that may also include pipe bursting, mainline extensions, service connection upgrades, and related appurtenances.

Recent activity centers in California. Santa Clara County's Sanitation District No. 2-3 issued an IFB (Solicitation Number ITBRDAFY270088) on August 26, 2026, due September 17, 2026, for the Structural Defect Repair Project Phase 2, a sewer mainline rehabilitation program encompassing point repairs, pipe-burst replacements, and mainline extensions in the unincorporated eastern foothills; the scope specifies removal and replacement of service connection fittings including wyes and associated components alongside polyvinyl chloride and high-density polyethylene pipe. The source shows no recent standalone stainless steel pipe cap procurements; this code appears to capture materials specified within larger infrastructure contracts rather than generating dedicated component sourcing opportunities. Activity is sparse and geographically limited to the single identified California district opportunity.
