UNSPSC 40172604: Ductile iron pipe coupling

Pipe coupling made of ductile iron

UNSPSC 40172604 Ductile iron pipe coupling (Commodity) covers water and sewer infrastructure components that state and local water utilities, counties, and municipalities procure for distribution system maintenance, meter assembly, and treatment facility operations. The recent opportunities tagged under this code show a mismatch: they include pavement rehabilitation, HVAC equipment, particle counters, and water system components spanning bypass spools, flanged fittings, gate valves, couplings, and related piping — but ductile iron pipe couplings per se do not appear in the documented solicitations. The code appears to see limited discrete activity, with recent postings spanning water utility operations (bypass spools, tailpieces, flanged fittings, general water and sewer materials) rather than ductile iron couplings specifically.

Water utilities in Arizona, California, Florida, Georgia, and Massachusetts issued the bulk of recent activity. The City of Phoenix Water Services Department posted two five-year standing contracts in early 2026 for water pipe and miscellaneous fittings (IFB-26-0217, due February 19, 2026) and bypass spools and tailpieces (IFB-26-0112, due November 12, 2025), both requiring AWWA and ANSI conformance and establishing vehicle for ongoing procurement. Volusia County, Florida posted a three-year competitive sealed bid for Materials for Water and Sewer Operations (IFB 26-B-42LS, due February 4, 2026) covering polyethylene tubing, brass fittings, stainless steel repair clamps, gate valves, and fire hydrants. The Berkshire Regional Group Purchasing Program in Massachusetts advertised a one-year cooperative procurement of culvert products and highway supplies on behalf of 32 Berkshire County municipalities (FY27-04, due April 2, 2026). Jackson County Utility Authority in an unspecified state posted a quote request for materials for the South Central Septic Abatement Project (due July 8, 2026) under RESTORE grant funding with Buy American certification required. The code shows active but fragmented issuing-body engagement across municipal water departments and county utilities with no dominant repeat buyer in the recent record.
