UNSPSC 40172502: Carbon steel pipe connector

Pipe connector made of carbon steel

UNSPSC 40172502 Carbon steel pipe connector is a Commodity code that captures specialized industrial connectors and fastening components used in infrastructure, utilities, and transit operations. State and local governments procure these connectors as materials within larger rehabilitation and maintenance projects—including pavement work, water and wastewater systems, and transit vehicle repair. The issuing bodies soliciting under this code span counties (Santa Clara County), cities (City of Tampa), and transit authorities (Dallas Area Rapid Transit Authority), reflecting the breadth of infrastructure and operational contexts where these components are needed as part-of-whole procurements rather than standalone commodity purchases.

Recent activity clusters in California and Texas. Santa Clara County posted an ITB for the Central Expressway Pavement Rehabilitation Project between Bowers Avenue and Scott Boulevard due May 21, 2026, encompassing labor, materials, and equipment for pavement work including asphalt overlay, PCC curb and gutter installation, and guardrail replacement across a 142-working-day completion window. Dallas Area Rapid Transit Authority issued a purchase order (solicitation 2097648) for a Connector, KJ, 1/0 (Motor Leads) on January 23, 2026, with response due January 30, 2026, requiring FOB Destination delivery and Net 30 payment terms. The City of Tampa posted an intent to single source Parker Instrumentation Products for wastewater services on April 14, 2026, seeking authorized distributors and dealers. The code shows modest recent activity with issuances distributed across general infrastructure rehabilitation, transit operations, and utility maintenance rather than concentrated procurement patterns.
