UNSPSC 40173005: Stainless steel pipe half coupling

Pipe half coupling made of stainless steel

UNSPSC 40173005 Stainless steel pipe half coupling is a Commodity code that represents a narrow product line within water and sewer infrastructure procurement. State and local governments soliciting under this code are buying stainless steel pipe components—specifically half couplings and related fittings—for water meter assemblies, bypass systems, and general water distribution operations. The issuing bodies are predominantly municipal water utilities and county water departments. The City of Phoenix Water Services Department and Volusia County appear as active buyers in recent months, alongside smaller utility authorities requesting materials for septic abatement and water system improvements.

Recent activity reflects strong demand from water infrastructure projects across the South and Southwest. The City of Phoenix issued a five-year IFB (IFB260217) in February 2026 for water pipe and miscellaneous fittings with a response deadline of February 19, 2026, and a separate IFB (IFB260112) in March 2026 for stainless steel bypass spools and tailpieces due November 12, 2025. Volusia County in Florida solicited materials for water and sewer operations through ITB 26-B-42LS with a February 20, 2026 response deadline. The Berkshire Regional Group Purchasing Program in Massachusetts included culvert products in a cooperative procurement (FY2704) with an April 2, 2026 deadline, serving 32 municipalities across Berkshire County. Jackson County Utility Authority in Mississippi issued a request for quotes on July 8, 2026 for materials supporting a RESTORE-funded septic abatement project with BABA certification required. Most contracts specify five-year or multi-year terms with firm and fixed pricing for initial periods and annual redetermination options, reflecting the ongoing nature of water utility operations and infrastructure maintenance.
