UNSPSC 40173102: Forged steel pipe lapjoint flange

Pipe lapjoint flange made of forged steel

UNSPSC 40173102 Forged steel pipe lapjoint flange, a Commodity code, nominally describes specialized piping components, but recent state and local activity shows little direct procurement of forged steel flanges under this code. The single relevant recent opportunity tagged to this code involves sanitary sewer infrastructure rehabilitation where the work centers on removal and replacement of vitrified clay pipe, polyvinyl chloride pipe, and high-density polyethylene pipe — materials and scopes that do not align with forged steel flange procurement. State and local governments do procure piping infrastructure repair and replacement at scale, but the posted opportunities under this specific code do not reflect demand for the forged steel components the code nominally describes.

Santa Clara County, California issued the only recent opportunity explicitly tagged to this code: Santa Clara County Sanitation District No. 2-3 Structural Defect Repair Project Phase 2 (IFB ITBRDAFY270088), due September 17, 2026. The scope encompasses thirty-five sanitary sewer mainline point repairs, five pipe-burst replacements at seventeen locations, and two mainline extensions spanning roughly 1,700 linear feet of new and replacement piping in six-, eight-, and ten-inch diameters — but the materials specified are PVC SDR26, HDPE, and cast iron, with no mention of forged steel flanges. A parallel Santa Clara County road rehabilitation opportunity (IFB ITBRDAFY260694, due May 21, 2026) involved pavement and surface infrastructure work with no piping materials scope. This code shows minimal relevant recent activity for forged steel pipe flange suppliers.
