UNSPSC 40172807: Stainless steel pipe elbow

Pipe elbow made of stainless steel

UNSPSC 40172807 Stainless steel pipe elbow is a Commodity code that encompasses potable water distribution fittings and related pipe components sourced by municipal water utilities and county water systems for system renovation, expansion, and maintenance projects. State and local procurement under this code centers on water-system infrastructure work—specifically, the supply of pipe fittings, elbows, couplings, bushings, gate valves, and related appurtenances that meet American Water Works Association (AWWA), American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM), and American National Standards Institute (ANSI) standards, including NSF certifications for potable water. Recent solicitations reveal that issuing bodies typically include municipal water departments and county commissioners' offices managing water infrastructure improvements; the City of Phoenix Water Services Department and Franklin County, Georgia Board of Commissioners are repeat buyers of such fittings and related water-system components. Suppliers bidding under this code must maintain certifications and standards compliance and, in several jurisdictions, meet Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) requirements and background-screening thresholds.

Recent activity clusters in California and Arizona, with secondary activity in Georgia. The City of Phoenix Water Services Department posted an IFB (IFB260217) on February 23, 2026, for water pipe and miscellaneous fittings—a five-year contract commencing May 1, 2026, spanning 15 product groups including elbows, couplings, flanges, and gate valves with sealed offers due by February 19, 2026, at 2:00 PM. Franklin County, Georgia Board of Commissioners issued an ITB (PE77589NONST2026000000005) on February 18, 2026, for a booster pump station renovation including new piping and related appurtenances, with sealed bids due by 10:00 AM on March 24, 2026. Santa Clara County, California posted an ITB (ITBRDAFY260694) on April 29, 2026, for the Central Expressway Pavement Rehabilitation Project, which includes removal and replacement of inductive traffic loops and related infrastructure but is primarily a roadway project; this opportunity shows only incidental relevance to stainless steel pipe elbows. Geographic spread and procurement frequency suggest strongest recent demand from Arizona and Georgia water utilities, with activity in California concentrated in transportation rather than water-system contexts.
