UNSPSC 40173301: Brass pipe nipple

Pipe nipple made of brass

UNSPSC 40173301 Brass pipe nipple is a Commodity code that shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The single recent opportunity tagged under this code is Santa Clara County's Central Expressway Pavement Rehabilitation Project (ITB ITBRDAFY260694, due May 21, 2026), which solicits labor, materials, and equipment for comprehensive pavement work including partial depth recycling, hot mix asphalt overlay, curb and gutter installation, sidewalk replacement, ADA improvements, traffic signal modifications, bioretention basin installation, and related infrastructure. Brass pipe nipples are not mentioned in the scope of work and do not appear to be a material component of this pavement and traffic infrastructure project, suggesting the code tag may reflect a data-entry error or a secondary material classification rather than a primary procurement focus.

The recent opportunity originates from a county jurisdiction in California. Santa Clara County's pavement rehabilitation project represents the only recent state and local solicitation identified under this code, and it does not substantively engage the brass pipe nipple commodity. Given the absence of activity directly aligned with the code's scope and the mismatch between the code designation and the actual work described, pursue this code only if your firm has capability in general highway and drainage infrastructure materials; otherwise, monitor for future opportunities that more clearly target plumbing components or fluid-conveyance products where brass pipe nipples would be a primary or secondary item.
