UNSPSC 40172501: Brass pipe connector

Pipe connector made of brass

UNSPSC 40172501 Brass pipe connector is a Commodity code that encompasses specialized metal connectors and fastening components for plumbing, mechanical, and electrical systems in state and local infrastructure and facility projects. The code covers connectors used in water and wastewater systems, HVAC installations, industrial piping networks, and electrical motor leads. State and local governments procure these items primarily through municipalities, county public works departments, transit authorities, and water/wastewater districts as components within larger capital projects or routine maintenance and supply contracts. Issuing bodies include city procurement offices, county facilities management, and specialized operating authorities such as transit systems.

Recent activity shows sparse but geographically dispersed solicitation. The Dallas Area Rapid Transit Authority (DART) issued a purchase order in January 2026 for a Connector, KJ, 1/0 (Motor Leads) component (solicitation 2097648, due January 30, 2026), and the City of Tampa issued an Intent to Single Source Parker Instrumentation Products for wastewater services in April 2026 (solicitation 26X01044, due April 9, 2026). A Santa Clara County pavement rehabilitation project (ITBRDAFY260694, due May 21, 2026) included infrastructure work that may incorporate brass connectors as incidental components within curb, gutter, drainage, and utility modifications, though the primary scope centers on asphalt and concrete work rather than connector supply. The code shows minimal recent standalone procurement activity; most opportunities appear as embedded components within larger construction or equipment contracts rather than as direct material solicitations, reflecting typical state and local buying patterns for commodity fastening items.
