UNSPSC 40173409: Copper pipe plate flange

Pipe plate flange made of copper

UNSPSC 40173409 Copper pipe plate flange is a Commodity code that captures specialized piping components used in infrastructure rehabilitation and construction, though recent state and local solicitations show limited direct purchasing activity under this specific code. The two recent opportunities posted involve Santa Clara County and its Sanitation District No. 2-3 issuing infrastructure projects that include extensive piping work, yet neither solicitation explicitly emphasizes copper pipe plate flanges as a line item. County Sanitation District No. 2-3 is the primary buyer in the recent record, soliciting bids for sewer infrastructure rehabilitation that encompasses removal and replacement of vitrified clay pipe with polyvinyl chloride and high-density polyethylene alternatives, along with service connection fittings and precast concrete manholes. Santa Clara County also issued a separate pavement rehabilitation solicitation covering a different corridor with roadway and traffic infrastructure scope. The current activity suggests this Commodity code may see occasional use in regional water and wastewater infrastructure work, though the recent opportunities do not prioritize copper components or flanges as primary procurement drivers.

Geographic activity is concentrated in California, specifically Santa Clara County and its subordinate special-purpose districts in the unincorporated eastern foothills. The most recent opportunity is County Sanitation District No. 2-3 Structural Defect Repair Project Phase 2 (ITBRDAFY270088), an ITB posted August 26, 2026, with bids due September 17, 2026, seeking removal and replacement of sanitary sewer mainline and service connections across thirty-five point repairs, five pipe-burst replacements, and two mainline extensions in the eastern foothills. A second Santa Clara County ITB for Central Expressway Pavement Rehabilitation (ITBRDAFY260694), posted April 29, 2026, with bids due May 21, 2026, covered pavement and roadway infrastructure but fell outside the piping-component scope. The limited recent record and the mismatch between the code's nominal scope and what these solicitations actually emphasize suggest this Commodity code sees minimal specific procurement activity in the current state and local contracting environment.
