UNSPSC 40173201: Carbon steel pipe long weldneck flange

Long weldneck flange made of carbon steel

UNSPSC 40173201 Carbon steel pipe long weldneck flange is a Commodity code that sees minimal direct procurement activity in recent state and local opportunities, though the code name does not align with the actual work being solicited under related piping and fitting classifications. The recent opportunities tagged to this code and its adjacent family involve mechanical joint restraining devices for ductile iron and PVC pipe, cast iron flanged fittings, water pipe and miscellaneous fittings assemblies, and pavement rehabilitation work. Issuing bodies span county governments, municipal utilities, and public works departments — Palm Beach County Board of County Commissioners, City of Tampa Purchasing Department, City of Phoenix Water Services Department, and Santa Clara County. The water and utility infrastructure procurement dominates the activity, with municipal water utilities seeking standardized pipe fittings, flanges, bushings, couplings, valves, and related components that conform to AWWA, ASTM, and ANSI standards for potable water systems.

Recent opportunities cluster in California and Florida. Palm Beach County is seeking mechanical joint restraining devices for DIP and PVC pipe in an IFB posted April 22, 2026, with bids due June 4, 2026, under a term contract with estimated value of $200,000 over twelve months and four optional renewal periods; both lot-by-lot award, SBE ten-percent price preference, and five-percent local preference apply. The City of Tampa issued an RFQ for cast iron flanged fittings posted March 9, 2026, with a February 25, 2026, response date covering five line items in various sizes and configurations with one-year award and SLBE certification preference. The City of Phoenix Water Services Department posted an IFB on February 23, 2026, for water pipe and miscellaneous fittings across fifteen product groups under a five-year contract commencing May 1, 2026, requiring minimum five-year vendor operational history, local inventory, next-day delivery capability, and DBE compliance. Santa Clara County's Central Expressway Pavement Rehabilitation Project IFB (posted April 29, 2026, due May 21, 2026) includes pavement work unrelated to piping and appears misclassified under this code.
