UNSPSC 40173002: Carbon steel pipe half coupling

Pipe half coupling made of carbon steel

UNSPSC 40173002 Carbon steel pipe half coupling is a Commodity code that captures threaded and unthreaded pipe fittings, couplings, and connection components used in water and wastewater infrastructure projects. State and local governments procure these items as components within larger sewer and water main replacement, rehabilitation, and extension projects, where they serve as joints, connections, and repair elements in distribution and collection systems. Issuing bodies include counties, municipal water utilities, and special-purpose sanitation districts. The recent activity shows a mix of project-specific infrastructure solicitations (ITBs and RFPs for sewer improvements and mainline repairs) and annual supply contracts (competitive bidding for pooled water service components).
