UNSPSC 40172705: Forged steel pipe cross

Pipe cross made of forged steel

UNSPSC 40172705 Forged steel pipe cross is a Commodity code representing specialized steel piping components used in infrastructure and industrial applications. State and local procurement activity under this code centers on heavy construction and utility infrastructure projects where forged steel pipe crosses and similar fittings serve as essential components in larger system installations. Issuing bodies include county transportation and public works departments that procure these materials as part of comprehensive infrastructure rehabilitation and construction initiatives. The code addresses tangible goods—manufactured steel components with specific dimensional and performance requirements—typically embedded within broader construction scopes that also include labor, equipment, and related materials.

Santa Clara County represents the recent issuing activity captured in the source, having posted an IFB on April 29, 2026 for the Central Expressway Pavement Rehabilitation Project between Bowers Avenue and Scott Boulevard, with bids due May 21, 2026. While the primary scope of that solicitation emphasizes pavement rehabilitation, ADA improvements, traffic signal work, and guardrail installation, forged steel pipe crosses and similar components may be embedded within the traffic signal modifications, drainage system installations (bioretention basins), or other structural elements specified in the project plans. California shows the geographic concentration of recent activity, though the source does not provide sufficient depth to characterize the code's broader state or regional distribution. Bidders should note that Santa Clara County requires physical bid submission to the County Clerk; electronic bids are not accepted. The project timeline runs 142 working days from the Notice of Award, with anticipated commencement 30 to 45 days following award notification.
