UNSPSC 40172806: Malleable iron pipe elbow

Pipe elbow made of malleable iron

UNSPSC 40172806 Malleable iron pipe elbow (Commodity) covers water distribution components and fittings that state and local water utilities, counties, and cities procure for system maintenance, expansion, and capital projects. State and local governments buy these fittings as part of broader water infrastructure work — replacement and new installations during pipe rehabilitation, booster pump station upgrades, and routine supply replenishment for inventory and over-the-counter support. Issuing bodies include city water departments, county public works and water authorities, and municipalities handling water system operations and capital projects. The City of Phoenix Water Services Department and county commissioners across multiple states are active buyers under this code.

Recent activity spans California, Arizona, and Georgia. The City of Phoenix Water Services Department issued an Invitation for Bid (IFB) on February 23, 2026 for water pipe and miscellaneous fittings — a five-year supply contract with 15 product groups including elbows, couplings, flanges, gate valves, and related components, with sealed offers due by February 19, 2026 (note: due date predates posting date in source); bidders must maintain local inventory, provide next-day delivery on captive parts, and hold five years of operational history with three professional references.
