UNSPSC 40173504: Ductile iron pipe plug

Pipe plug made of ductile iron

UNSPSC 40173504 Ductile iron pipe plug (Commodity) does not see material recent state and local procurement activity grounded in the code's nominal scope. The recent-opportunities block identifies seven contracts across city, county, and district purchasing offices, but none explicitly procure ductile iron pipe plugs as a line item or primary deliverable. Two City of Phoenix industrial-pipe supply contracts (IFB 27-SW-0447 and IFB 26-SW-0379, both due-date amended to reflect reissuance) specify HDPE and PVC pipe, fittings, elbows, and couplings but do not name plugs or closure products. Three infrastructure projects—Santa Clara County's Sanitation District No. 2-3 sewer mainline repairs, Palm Bay's I-95 Outfall Pipe Replacement, and Santa Clara County's Central Expressway Pavement Rehabilitation—involve pipe installation and replacement but do not itemize ductile iron plugs in their scopes. The City of Augusta, Georgia ITB 27-116 solicits HDPE pipe, couplings, bends, elbows, and inlet sections but does not reference plugs. Two additional opportunities (Orange County bridge replacement and Palm Bay stormwater RFI) fall outside pipe-supply categories entirely.

The available opportunities do not establish a geographic concentration, issuing-body pattern, or procurement rhythm for this commodity code. No repeat buyers are apparent, and no representative recent solicitations explicitly name ductile iron pipe plugs. The code shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement channels as currently indexed.
