UNSPSC 40172701: Brass pipe cross

Pipe cross made of brass

UNSPSC 40172701 Brass pipe cross is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific plumbing fitting, but the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it shows little relevance to that product category. Santa Clara County's Central Expressway Pavement Rehabilitation Project, the only recent opportunity associated with the code, solicits comprehensive road construction and infrastructure work including pavement recycling, asphalt overlay, curb and gutter installation, sidewalk replacement, traffic signal modifications, and guardrail system replacement — none of which involve brass pipe fittings or plumbing components. The tagging mismatch suggests either a data classification error in the county's procurement system or a broad miscategorization during opportunity indexing.

The code shows minimal recent activity in state and local procurement. Santa Clara County issued an ITB (ITBRDAFY260694) for the pavement rehabilitation project with a response deadline of May 21, 2026, but this opportunity does not reflect typical procurement under a brass pipe fitting code and should not be treated as representative of genuine demand for the commodity. Without additional recent opportunities tied correctly to the code's actual scope, pursue decisions should rest on independent market research rather than this sourcing signal.
