UNSPSC 40173501: Brass pipe plug

Pipe plug made of brass

UNSPSC 40173501 Brass pipe plug is a Commodity code, but state and local procurement activity under this designation shows little alignment with the code's nominal scope. Recent opportunities tagged to this code involve broad industrial pipe, fittings, and equipment supply contracts serving municipal utilities, airports, and infrastructure projects—not brass pipe plugs specifically. The City of Phoenix Public Works Department and the City of Augusta, Georgia have posted IFB and ITB notices for multi-year supply agreements covering HDPE and PVC pipe in various diameters, couplings, elbows, wyes, and related fittings for routine maintenance and construction. Sanitation and stormwater infrastructure work in Santa Clara County and Palm Bay, Florida have also been tagged to the code, though those solicitations focus on pipe-bursting and outfall replacement work rather than plug supply. The issuing bodies are primarily municipal public works and utilities departments managing routine and emergency infrastructure maintenance. Geographic activity centers on Arizona, Georgia, California, and Florida, with a mix of cities (Phoenix, Augusta, Palm Bay), county special districts (Santa Clara County Sanitation District), and county government (Orange County).

Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Public Works Department IFB 27SW0447, posted September 30, 2026, seeking sealed bids for three-year supply of HDPE pipe (1.5 to 24 inches diameter), PVC pipe (0.75 to 4 inches), fittings, glue, and hand tools, with offers due September 30, 2026 and service to Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport and two additional municipal airports; the City of Augusta, Georgia ITB 27-116, posted September 10, 2026, requesting bids for HDPE pipe, couplings, and end sections for down-drain installation on a one-year term with four renewal options, bids due September 29, 2026; and Santa Clara County Sanitation District No. 2-3 ITB for structural defect repair involving removal and replacement of existing pipe with PVC and HDPE materials, bids due September 17, 2026. The code shows limited recent solicitation activity specifically for brass pipe plugs; procurement under this code is driven by broader infrastructure maintenance cycles rather than plug supply demand.
