UNSPSC 40173507: Stainless steel pipe plug

Pipe plug made of stainless steel

UNSPSC 40173507 Stainless steel pipe plug is a Commodity code with minimal recent activity directly aligned to its stated scope. The recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code overwhelmingly procure industrial and infrastructure piping systems—HDPE, PVC, and related fittings for municipal water, sewer, stormwater, and aviation operations—rather than stainless steel pipe plugs specifically. The City of Phoenix Public Works Department has posted two IFBs (IFB27SW0447 in September 2026 and IFB26SW0379 in August 2026) for supply of industrial pipe, miscellaneous fittings, and equipment, both covering HDPE and PVC pipe on three-year terms with options to extend, serving Phoenix Aviation Department operations across three airports and requiring 24–48-hour delivery from local inventory. The City of Augusta, Georgia released an ITB in September 2026 for various HDPE pipe, coupling, and end sections for sanitary sewer down-drain work, with a one-year initial term and four optional renewals. Santa Clara County Sanitation District No. 2-3 and Santa Clara County itself have posted infrastructure rehabilitation work involving PVC, HDPE, and related fittings for sewer mainline repairs and pavement work. None of these solicitations specifically name stainless steel pipe plugs as line items or scope elements.

Activity is concentrated in Arizona, California, Florida, and Georgia, with Phoenix appearing twice as a repeat buyer of broad piping-and-fittings supply contracts. The geographic spread reflects municipal water, sewer, stormwater, and airport infrastructure maintenance across the Sun Belt and West Coast. Because the recent opportunities do not substantively align with the Commodity code's nominal scope—stainless steel pipe plug—this code shows little relevant procurement signal for vendors in that product category. Business development professionals should verify whether state and local procurement offices are misclassifying broad piping-supply opportunities under this narrow Commodity code, or whether stainless steel plugs are incidental components within larger fittings purchases not called out separately in the public notices.
