UNSPSC 40172518: Coated steel pipe connector

A steel pipe connector coated with asphalt, coal tar enamel, tar epoxy resin paint, liquid epoxy resin paint and others.

UNSPSC 40172518 Coated steel pipe connector is a Commodity code. State and local governments soliciting under this code are actually buying pavement preservation materials, roadway rehabilitation services, wastewater instrumentation, and electrical connectors for transit systems — a divergence between the code's nominal scope and what jurisdictions are tagging with this UNSPSC number. The recent opportunities block shows one pavement preservation project, one large pavement rehabilitation project, one wastewater instrumentation single-source procurement, and one electrical connector purchase order for a transit authority. The code sees activity from cities, counties, and special-purpose transit authorities rather than school districts or state departments.
