UNSPSC 40172703: Cast iron pipe cross

Pipe cross made of cast iron

UNSPSC 40172703 Cast iron pipe cross is a Commodity code representing individual pipe fittings and components used in water and wastewater infrastructure systems. State and local governments procure these cast iron cross fittings as replacement parts and components for municipal water distribution networks, stormwater systems, and wastewater collection infrastructure. The code attracts solicitations from water utilities, county public works departments, and city engineering divisions that maintain and rehabilitate underground utility networks. Work under the code encompasses supply of the physical fittings themselves, often bundled with installation labor and materials management as part of larger infrastructure repair or replacement projects.

Santa Clara County's Central Expressway Pavement Rehabilitation Project (ITB ITBRDAFY260694, due May 21, 2026) shows recent activity in the code's application area, though the primary focus of that solicitation centers on pavement rehabilitation, traffic signal modifications, and pedestrian infrastructure. The project scope includes removal and replacement of inductive traffic loops and related utility work that may implicate underground utility fittings, though cast iron pipe crosses are not explicitly named in the posted opportunity summary. California appears to be the only state with a documented recent opportunity under this code in the provided source material. No other state or local jurisdictions are represented in the recent-opportunities block, and no incumbent vendors, set-asides, or budget information is disclosed.
