UNSPSC 40172507: Stainless steel pipe connector

Pipe connector made of stainless steel

UNSPSC 40172507 Stainless steel pipe connector, a Commodity code, sees recent state and local procurement activity focused on sanitary and water main infrastructure repairs and replacements where stainless steel connectors, wyes, and fittings are specified as part of coordinated utility rehabilitation projects. State and local buyers under this code include county sanitation districts, county public works departments, and municipal utilities operating water and sewer systems in established urban and suburban service areas. The specific work being solicited involves removal and replacement of aging pipe infrastructure—vitrified clay pipe, cast iron, and deteriorated PVC being swapped out for modern materials—with connectors and fittings specified to standard sizes and configurations (4-inch to 10-inch wye connectors and similar service connection hardware) as part of mainline repairs, pipe bursting operations, and sewer and water main extensions.

Recent procurement activity concentrates in California and Florida. Sanitation District No. 2-3 in Santa Clara County issued ITB ITBRDAFY270088 in August 2026 for the Structural Defect Repair Project Phase 2, seeking removal and replacement of service connection fittings including twenty-seven 4-inch by 6-inch wyes, two 4-inch by 8-inch wyes, and two 4-inch by 10-inch wyes, with proposals due September 17, 2026. Pinellas County, Florida posted ITB 260652ITBC in October 2026 for coordinated Ridgewood Estates Sewer Improvements and 82nd Avenue & 113th Street Water Main Improvements projects, covering approximately 500 linear feet of 12-inch sanitary sewer and 6,800 linear feet of 6-inch water main replacement with associated valve installation and fire hydrant replacement, with minimum qualification submittals due October 13, 2026 and final bids due November 5, 2026. A separate Santa Clara County pavement rehabilitation ITB from April 2026 does not align with this code's scope. Small Business Enterprise set-asides apply to at least the Pinellas County work.
