UNSPSC 40173104: Copper pipe lapjoint flange

Pipe lapjoint flange made of copper

UNSPSC 40173104 Copper pipe lapjoint flange, a Commodity code, sees limited recent state and local procurement activity directly aligned with its nominal scope. The one recent opportunity that reasonably maps to this code is Santa Clara County Sanitation District No. 2-3's Structural Defect Repair Project Phase 2 (ITB ITBRDAFY270088, due September 17, 2026), which includes removal and replacement of sanitary sewer mainline and service connection fittings in copper and other materials across multiple diameters and configurations. The second recent posting — Santa Clara County's Central Expressway Pavement Rehabilitation Project (ITB ITBRDAFY260694, due May 21, 2026) — does not involve copper pipe flanges and appears misclassified under this code. State and local governments soliciting under this code are principally county-level sanitation and water utility districts managing infrastructure rehabilitation and replacement programs that require specification-grade piping components.

Activity under this Commodity code concentrates in California, specifically Santa Clara County, where both recent solicitations originated. The sanitation district opportunity encompasses multiple linear feet of pipe replacement work across 6-inch, 8-inch, and 10-inch diameters, with service connection fittings including wyes in various configurations, and mandates a sixty-five working day completion window. Bidders should note that both opportunities require physical bid submission to the County Government Center in San Jose with no electronic submissions accepted. This code appears moderately active but narrowly scoped to regional water and wastewater infrastructure projects; firms pursuing this work should monitor Santa Clara County and adjacent Bay Area sanitation district solicitations for recurring rehabilitation and replacement programs.
