UNSPSC 40172700: Pipe crosses

UNSPSC 40172700 Pipe crosses, a Class code, encompasses replacement and installation of pipe fittings and junction components in sanitary sewer rehabilitation and infrastructure extension projects. State and local governments procure under this code primarily through county sanitation districts and county public works departments executing sewer line rehabilitation, pipe replacement, and mainline extension work. The scope involves removal and installation of pipe wyes, tees, and similar junction fittings in varying diameters—typically 4-inch to 10-inch service connections and mainline segments—as part of broader sewer infrastructure repair and replacement contracts. Work is solicited via invitational bid (ITB) notices with response periods of two to three weeks.

Santa Clara County is the principal recent issuing body, with two active solicitations posted between April and August 2026. County Sanitation District No. 2-3 issued ITB ITBRDAFY270088 on August 26, 2026 for the Structural Defect Repair Project Phase 2, due September 17, 2026, which includes removal and replacement of twenty-seven 4-inch-by-6-inch wyes, two 4-inch-by-8-inch wyes, and two 4-inch-by-10-inch wyes as part of sanitary sewer mainline point repairs, pipe-burst replacements, and mainline extensions in the unincorporated eastern foothills. The earlier Central Expressway Pavement Rehabilitation Project (ITB ITBRDAFY260694, due May 21, 2026) was issued by Santa Clara County for pavement and related improvements but does not explicitly reference pipe crossing work within the available summary text. Recent activity concentrates in California, specifically in Santa Clara County. The solicitation notices do not identify set-aside designations or preferential criteria for disadvantaged enterprises or local vendors.
