UNSPSC 40172804: Ductile iron pipe elbow

Pipe elbow made of ductile iron

UNSPSC 40172804 Ductile iron pipe elbow is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure pipe fittings and related materials for water and sewer infrastructure replacement and rehabilitation projects. The recent solicitations show state and local procurement activity centered on sanitary sewer and water main reconstruction work, where ductile iron pipe elbows appear as components within larger piping assemblies rather than standalone line items. Water authorities and sanitation districts are the primary issuing bodies, driven by aging infrastructure replacement programs targeting the elimination of capacity restrictions, reduction of sanitary sewer overflows, and extension of useful life in deteriorated water mains.

Two counties—Pinellas County, Florida and Santa Clara County, California—account for the recent activity under this code. Pinellas County, Florida issued IFB 260652ITBC in October 2026 for the Ridgewood Estates Sewer Improvements and 82nd Avenue & 113th Street Water Main Improvements projects, with a minimum qualification submittal due October 13, 2026 and final bids due November 5, 2026; the work includes approximately 6,800 linear feet of 6-inch water main replacement with fire hydrant and gate valve installation. Santa Clara County issued IFB ITBRDAFY270088 in August 2026 for County Sanitation District No. 2-3 Structural Defect Repair Project Phase 2, due September 17, 2026, encompassing thirty-five sanitary sewer mainline point repairs, five mainline pipe-burst replacements, and two sewer mainline extensions involving removal and replacement of existing vitrified clay pipe with PVC and HDPE across multiple diameters. A third Santa Clara County procurement (IFB ITBRDAFY260694, May 2026) for pavement rehabilitation on Central Expressway showed no sewer or water infrastructure scope directly supporting ductile iron pipe elbow procurement.
