UNSPSC 40172503: Cast iron pipe connector

Pipe connector made of cast iron

UNSPSC 40172503 Cast iron pipe connector is a Commodity code covering specialized piping and electrical connectors used in infrastructure, water systems, and transit operations. State and local governments procure these components as line items within larger capital projects and equipment orders. Recent opportunities show this code appearing in pavement rehabilitation projects, wastewater services procurement, and transit authority equipment sourcing—each representing different operational contexts where connectors are specified components rather than primary procurements. Issuing bodies include county transportation departments, city utilities and procurement divisions, and regional transit authorities. The code sees activity across multiple issuing bodies competing for supplies and components; no single jurisdiction dominates the recent record.

Geographic activity spans California, Florida, and Texas based on recent postings. Santa Clara County issued an IFB (ITB RDAFY260694) on April 29, 2026 for the Central Expressway Pavement Rehabilitation Project between Bowers Avenue and Scott Boulevard, with bids due May 21, 2026; the scope included pavement work and related infrastructure improvements requiring various connectors and fastening components. The City of Tampa issued an Intent to Single Source for Parker Instrumentation Products on April 14, 2026 (deadline April 9, 2026) for wastewater services, requiring authorized Parker distributors or dealers. The Dallas Area Rapid Transit Authority posted a purchase order (solicitation 2097648) on January 23, 2026 for a Connector, KJ, 1/0 (Motor Leads) component with a January 30, 2026 deadline, requiring FOB Destination shipping and Net 30 payment terms. The code shows sporadic activity rather than consistent recurring demand across jurisdictions.
