UNSPSC 40172506: Malleable iron pipe connector

Pipe connector made of malleable iron

UNSPSC 40172506 Malleable iron pipe connector is a Commodity code that captures fittings and connectors used in water and sewer infrastructure replacement and rehabilitation projects. State and local governments procure these connectors as materials within larger construction contracts for sanitary sewer and water main improvements, pipe rehabilitation, and related infrastructure work. Recent solicitations show the code active in county-level sewer and water districts undertaking aging-infrastructure replacement, where malleable iron connectors and fittings support mainline extensions, service connection replacements, and tie-ins during open-cut and trenchless pipe replacement work.

Issuing bodies soliciting under this code include county public works departments and special-purpose sanitation and water districts. Santa Clara County Sanitation District No. 2-3 and Pinellas County, Florida appear as primary recent buyers. Geographic activity concentrates in California and Florida, with recent opportunities including Santa Clara County's Structural Defect Repair Project Phase 2 (ITB due September 17, 2026), which specified removal and replacement of service connection fittings including 4-inch wyes in multiple sizes as part of sewer mainline rehabilitation, and Pinellas County's coordinated Ridgewood Estates Sewer Improvements and 82nd Avenue Water Main Improvements (IFB due November 5, 2026 for final bids), encompassing water main replacement and sewer pipe installation requiring connector materials. These projects typically operate under unit-price contracts with 65 to 380 working-day schedules and standard bonding and performance requirements.
