UNSPSC 40173406: Stainless steel pipe plate flange

Pipe plate flange made of stainless steel

UNSPSC 40173406 Stainless steel pipe plate flange is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of pipe fittings, flanges, and related water infrastructure components used in municipal water distribution systems, wastewater operations, and public works projects. Recent solicitations show activity spanning mechanical joint restraining devices for ductile iron and PVC pipe, standard cast iron flanged fittings for municipal water systems, and broader water pipe and miscellaneous fitting assemblies that include flanges, bushings, couplings, gate valves, and specialized connection hardware. The issuing bodies include county water and utilities departments, city water services divisions, and county commissioners' procurement offices sourcing materials for ongoing water infrastructure maintenance and capital projects. Solicitations typically specify compliance with American Water Works Association (AWWA), American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM), and American National Standards Institute (ANSI) standards, NSF potable water certifications, and warranty requirements.

Recent activity spans California and Florida. The Palm Beach County Board of County Commissioners issued Invitation for Bid (IFB) 26-038/RR in April 2026 for mechanical joint restraining devices across two lots—ductile iron pipe devices (3 to 54 inches) and PVC pipe devices (3 to 24 inches)—with an anticipated contract value of $200,000 over twelve months and a June 4, 2026 deadline; the City of Tampa issued Request for Quotes 26-P-00152 in March 2026 for standard class 125 flanged fittings with a February 25, 2026 response date; and the City of Phoenix Water Services Department solicited water pipe and miscellaneous fittings under IFB 260217 in February 2026 for a five-year contract effective May 1, 2026, with sealed offers due February 19, 2026. The Phoenix solicitation identifies 15 product groups and requires bidders to maintain local inventory with next-day delivery capability on captive parts. Santa Clara County's Central Expressway Pavement Rehabilitation Project (ITB RDAFY260694) posted in April 2026 with a May 21, 2026 deadline does not reflect direct pipe or flange procurement—the code assignment appears misaligned with the actual pavement rehabilitation scope.
