UNSPSC 40173103: Stainless steel pipe lapjoint flange

Pipe lapjoint flange made of stainless steel

UNSPSC 40173103 Stainless steel pipe lapjoint flange, a Commodity code, does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The two most recent opportunities posted under this code involve sewer infrastructure rehabilitation and pavement rehabilitation—neither of which calls for stainless steel pipe lapjoint flanges as primary deliverables. Santa Clara County Sanitation District No. 2-3 posted an ITB on August 26, 2026, for the Structural Defect Repair Project Phase 2, seeking removal and replacement of vitrified clay pipe and cast iron with PVC and HDPE pipe, along with precast concrete sanitary sewer manholes and service connection wyes—no stainless steel flanges specified. Santa Clara County's Central Expressway Pavement Rehabilitation Project, posted April 29, 2026, covers asphalt overlay, Portland cement concrete curb and gutter work, traffic signals, and bioretention basins. The code shows little relevant recent activity, and the opportunities tagged to it do not represent genuine demand for stainless steel pipe lapjoint flanges in state and local procurement.

Vendors pursuing this Commodity code should verify the accuracy of future opportunity tags before investing in pursuit. The mismatch between code definition and actual solicitation scope suggests either miscoding in the posting system or that state and local issuers are not currently buying stainless steel pipe lapjoint flanges at meaningful volume through advertised channels.
