UNSPSC 40172702: Carbon steel pipe cross

Pipe cross made of carbon steel

UNSPSC 40172702 Carbon steel pipe cross is a Commodity code that captures individual pipe fittings and components used in water, wastewater, gas, and industrial distribution systems. State and local governments procure these components as materials for infrastructure construction and rehabilitation projects, including water main extensions, sewer line installation, natural gas distribution upgrades, and road or utility corridor work. The issuing bodies soliciting under this code span county public works departments, municipal water and sewer utilities, transit authorities managing infrastructure, and state transportation agencies. These are typically materials buys embedded within larger capital construction or rehabilitation RFPs or ITBs where the pipe fittings are specified line items or components required to meet project engineering standards.

Santa Clara County posted ITB ITBRDAFY260694 on April 29, 2026, for the Central Expressway Pavement Rehabilitation Project between Bowers Avenue and Scott Boulevard in San Jose, California, with bids due May 21, 2026. While the primary scope addresses pavement, curb, sidewalk, and traffic infrastructure work, the project's specification of Portland cement concrete curb, gutter, and related utility modifications suggests potential procurement of pipe crosses and other fitting components as part of the broader materials and labor package. The solicitation does not disclose a specific budget or set-aside designations. The recent-opportunities record shows limited explicit carbon steel pipe cross solicitation activity in publicly posted state and local notices; procurement of these components often occurs as subordinate line items within larger infrastructure construction contracts rather than as standalone commodity RFQs.
