UNSPSC 40172700: Pipe crosses

UNSPSC 40172700 Pipe crosses, a Class code, encompasses drainage and utility infrastructure components installed during roadway and site construction projects. State and local governments procure these fittings as part of broader infrastructure rehabilitation and new construction work where stormwater management, sanitary sewer, water main, or other utility lines must cross beneath roadways, parking areas, or other facilities. The issuing bodies soliciting under this code include county transportation and public works departments managing capital projects. Pipe crosses are typically bundled within larger construction packages rather than procured as standalone items, and they appear in solicitations as material components of comprehensive pavement rehabilitation, drainage improvement, and site infrastructure projects.

Santa Clara County solicited a representative opportunity under this code in April 2026. The Central Expressway Pavement Rehabilitation Project between Bowers Avenue and Scott Boulevard (ITB ITBRDAFY260694, due May 21, 2026) included pipe crosses as part of a comprehensive bid covering partial depth recycling, hot mix asphalt overlay, pavement repairs, Portland cement concrete curb and gutter installation, ADA access improvements, traffic signal modifications, bioretention basin installation, and utility infrastructure modifications. The County requested physical bid submission to the County Clerk of the Board of Supervisors, with no electronic bidding accepted. Recent activity under this code centers in California, with Santa Clara County representing the primary recent procurement signal. The narrow recent-opportunity window and single posted solicitation suggest limited standalone demand for pipe crosses as a discrete procurement line item at the state and local level; most acquisition occurs within integrated roadway and drainage construction contracts.
