UNSPSC 40172712: Copper pipe cross

Pipe cross made of copper

UNSPSC 40172712 Copper pipe cross is a Commodity code that nominally designates individual copper piping fittings, yet the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under this code does not align with that scope. Santa Clara County's Central Expressway Pavement Rehabilitation Project solicitation (ITB ITBRDAFY260694, due May 21, 2026) represents the only recent opportunity on record and addresses comprehensive roadway reconstruction—partial depth recycling, hot mix asphalt overlay, Portland cement concrete curb and sidewalk installation, ADA improvements, traffic signal modifications, bioretention basin installation, and related site work—rather than copper pipe fittings or plumbing materials. The mismatch suggests either a data classification error in the county's tagging process or a broader scope interpretation of the code that does not reflect typical state and local purchasing patterns for discrete copper fittings.

Santa Clara County, a regional transportation and infrastructure authority, is the sole issuing body with recent activity under this code. The Central Expressway project is a general infrastructure procurement issued as an invitational-to-bid (ITB) notice with physical bid submission required at the County Government Center in San Jose, California by 2:00 p.m. on May 21, 2026, and a 142 working-day completion window. The solicitation identifies no set-aside designations, incumbent vendors, or budget disclosure. Given the single opportunity on file and its categorical mismatch with the code's nominal commodity definition, this code shows minimal relevant recent activity for state and local procurement professionals focused on copper plumbing fixtures and fittings.
