UNSPSC 40172704: Ductile iron pipe cross

Pipe cross made of ductile iron

UNSPSC 40172704 Ductile iron pipe cross is a Commodity code that covers specialized pipe fittings and junction components used in sanitary sewer infrastructure rehabilitation and new construction. State and local governments purchase these fittings as part of comprehensive wastewater collection system upgrades, mainline replacements, and service connection work. The code sits within the broader scope of water and wastewater utility procurement, where sanitation districts, county public works departments, and regional sewer authorities source replacement components to rehabilitate aging clay and cast-iron pipe systems and extend service to new areas.

Santa Clara County, California shows recent activity under this code. County Sanitation District No. 2-3 issued ITB ITBRDAFY270088 on August 26, 2026, with a bid due date of September 17, 2026, for the Structural Defect Repair Project Phase 2 — a sewer infrastructure rehabilitation program in the unincorporated eastern foothills. The scope includes removal and replacement of vitrified clay pipe with PVC and HDPE pipe across multiple diameters, as well as service connection fittings: twenty-seven 4-inch by 6-inch wyes, two 4-inch by 8-inch wyes, and two 4-inch by 10-inch wyes. The second recent opportunity, ITB ITBRDAFY260694 posted April 29, 2026, by Santa Clara County for the Central Expressway Pavement Rehabilitation Project (bid due May 21, 2026), represents less direct application of the code; that solicitation focuses on roadway rehabilitation rather than sewer utility work. Activity under this code appears concentrated in California wastewater rehabilitation procurement, though the recent sample is limited.
