UNSPSC 40173502: Carbon steel pipe plug

Pipe plug made of carbon steel

UNSPSC 40173502 Carbon steel pipe plug is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure pipe fittings, plugs, offsets, and related plumbing and water-system components for utility operations, infrastructure maintenance, and construction projects. The code captures both routine consumable supply contracts and specialized infrastructure replacement work. Recent opportunities show demand for plugs and pipe rests as standalone commodity purchases from water utilities, alongside larger projects requiring these components as part of comprehensive pipe and fitting supply agreements or emergency infrastructure replacement initiatives. The issuing bodies include city water departments, county transportation and stormwater authorities, and municipal procurement offices. The City of Dallas Water/Material Services Division appears most frequently in recent activity, posting multiple informal solicitations for offsets, plugs, and pipe rests between February and April 2026.

Recent activity spans Florida, Texas, and California. The City of Dallas has conducted at least five informal solicitations (IFS) between February 17 and April 24, 2026, seeking offsets, plugs, and pipe rests for FOB delivery to municipal service yards, with responses due within days of posting and no set-aside designations.

Orange County, Florida solicited bids for emergency bridge replacement (Y26-742) with a June 25, 2026 deadline later extended to July 7, 2026, estimated at $6.2 million and requiring design-phase pipe specifications and permitting documents.
