UNSPSC 40172606: Malleable iron pipe coupling

Pipe coupling made of malleable iron

UNSPSC 40172606 Malleable iron pipe coupling, a Commodity code, encompasses fittings and connectors used in water distribution, sanitary sewer, and stormwater infrastructure projects—specifically brass and stainless steel saddles, compression couplings, pipe clamps, and ball valves that join or tap into pressurized and non-pressurized pipeline systems. State and local governments procure these components both as discrete materials through annual supply contracts and as line items within larger infrastructure rehabilitation and replacement projects. Issuing bodies span county utilities, municipal water departments, sanitation districts, and county government procurement offices, with recent activity concentrated among mid-sized and large counties managing aging water and sewer infrastructure.

Recent opportunities reflect two procurement patterns under this code. The City of Marietta, Georgia (ITB BL121-26, due September 22, 2026) solicited annual contract pricing for water service saddles, couplings, clamps, and valves across multiple sizes. The County of DeKalb, Georgia (ITB 2026-034-ITB, due August 27, 2026) pursued a three-year multiyear contract for quick insertion valves, tapping sleeves, resilient wedge insert gate valves, and valve insertion equipment for both pressurized and non-pressurized systems. Larger infrastructure projects incorporating these components as subcomponents include Pinellas County, Florida's coordinated Ridgewood Estates Sewer Improvements and 82nd Avenue & 113th Street Water Main Improvements (IFB 260652ITBC, minimum qualification due October 13, 2026, final bids due November 5, 2026), which specified approximately 6,800 linear feet of 6-inch water main replacement with fire hydrant and gate valve installation, and Santa Clara County's Sanitation District No. 2-3 Structural Defect Repair Project Phase 2 (ITB ITBRDAFY270088, due September 17, 2026), which called for removal and replacement of service connection wyes and PVC pipe across multiple diameters. Geographic activity concentrates in California (Santa Clara County), Florida (Pinellas County), and Georgia (DeKalb County and Marietta), with recent opportunities spanning summer through fall 2026.
