UNSPSC 40172701: Brass pipe cross

Pipe cross made of brass

UNSPSC 40172701 Brass pipe cross is a Commodity code that covers specialized fittings and connection components for piping systems in water, wastewater, and drainage infrastructure projects. State and local governments procure this code primarily through sanitation districts, county public works departments, and water authorities executing sewer rehabilitation, water main replacement, and stormwater management programs. The work involves removal and replacement of deteriorated piping infrastructure with modern materials, requiring specification and supply of brass and other metal cross fittings as subordinate components within larger mainline and lateral installation scopes.

Recent activity concentrates in California's Santa Clara County, where County Sanitation District No. 2-3 issued an ITB (ITBRDAFY270088) due September 17, 2026 for the Structural Defect Repair Project Phase 2, a sewer rehabilitation program spanning thirty-five point repairs, five pipe-burst replacements, and two mainline extensions. That solicitation specifies removal and replacement of service connection fittings, including twenty-seven 4-by-6 wyes, two 4-by-8 wyes, and two 4-by-10 wyes as part of the scope. A second Santa Clara County ITB (ITBRDAFY260694) issued April 29, 2026 for the Central Expressway Pavement Rehabilitation Project between Bowers Avenue and Scott Boulevard, due May 21, 2026, encompassed broader pavement and traffic infrastructure work but did not itemize brass fittings explicitly. The code shows limited recent state and local activity; most opportunities in this tier involve brass fittings as subordinate line items within larger utility infrastructure rehabilitation contracts rather than as standalone procurements.
