UNSPSC 40172613: Galvanized iron pipe coupling

UNSPSC 40172613 Galvanized iron pipe coupling is a Commodity code that encompasses brass, stainless steel, and compression couplings and related water service components used in municipal water distribution and sanitary sewer infrastructure systems. State and local governments procure these couplings as part of larger water main replacement, sewer rehabilitation, and infrastructure repair projects. The issuing bodies include county utilities authorities, county sanitation districts, county public works departments, and municipal water and utility agencies. Recent solicitations show both large infrastructure projects requiring couplings as a component of broader construction scope and dedicated supply contracts for water service materials, indicating the code captures both embedded procurement within capital projects and standalone materials-supply agreements.
