UNSPSC 40172519: Aluminium and aluminium alloy pipe connector

A pipe connector made of aluminum or aluminum alloy.

UNSPSC 40172519 Aluminium and aluminium alloy pipe connector is a Commodity code that does not align with the scope of recent state and local opportunities posted under it. The three most recent solicitations tagged to this code — infrastructure projects in Pinellas County, Florida and Santa Clara County, California — center on sanitary sewer mainline replacement and pavement rehabilitation work using PVC, HDPE, and concrete pipes and related gravity-sewer infrastructure, not aluminium or aluminium alloy pipe connectors. The Pinellas County Ridgewood Estates and 82nd Avenue water main projects (IFB 260652ITBC, due October 13 and November 5, 2026) specify 12-inch PVC sanitary sewer pipe, 6-inch water main replacement, and cast iron and galvanized main removal; the Santa Clara County Sanitation District No. 2-3 Phase 2 project (IFB ITBRDAFY270088, due September 17, 2026) involves point repairs and pipe-burst replacement of existing vitrified clay and cast iron with PVC SDR26 and HDPE; the Santa Clara Central Expressway pavement rehabilitation project (IFB ITBRDAFY260694, due May 21, 2026) addresses asphalt overlay, concrete curb and sidewalk work, and drainage improvements. None of these scopes call for aluminium pipe connectors.

The issuing bodies are county-level public works and utility districts — Pinellas County Public Works, Santa Clara County, and the Sanitation District No. 2-3. Recent activity concentrates in Florida and California, with procurement taking place as IFB (Invitation for Bid) notices tied to gravity-sewer rehabilitation and transportation infrastructure. The code shows minimal substantive alignment with recent state and local procurement activity under this taxonomy entry.
