UNSPSC 40173701: Brass pipe reducing flange

Pipe reducing flange made of brass

UNSPSC 40173701 Brass pipe reducing flange is a Commodity code that captures small-diameter pipe fittings and assemblies, but the recent state and local opportunities soliciting under this code show a much broader scope: mechanical joint restraining devices, flanged cast iron fittings, water distribution system components including bushings, couplings, elbows, gate valves, and miscellaneous fittings for municipal water and wastewater infrastructure. Soliciting bodies are primarily cities and counties with established water, wastewater, and transportation departments — Palm Beach County, the City of Tampa, the City of Phoenix Water Services Department, and Santa Clara County. The work involves supplying materials and components for water main installations, pavement rehabilitation projects, and utility infrastructure maintenance on a term-contract or project-specific basis, with firm fixed unit pricing and FOB Destination delivery requirements typical across municipal procurement.

Geographic activity centers on Florida and Arizona, with recent solicitations from Palm Beach County (Invitation for Bid for mechanical joint restraining devices, due June 4, 2026, estimated contract value $200,000 over twelve months), the City of Tampa (Request for Quotes for Class 125 flanged cast iron fittings, due February 25, 2026), and the City of Phoenix Water Services Department (Invitation for Bid for a five-year water pipe and miscellaneous fittings contract commencing May 1, 2026). California also shows activity through Santa Clara County's Central Expressway Pavement Rehabilitation Project (Invitation to Bid, due May 21, 2026, requiring comprehensive pavement and infrastructure work). Issuing bodies typically impose insurance minimums ($500,000 to $2 million Commercial General Liability), AWWA and ASTM compliance for potable water components, five-year vendor operational history, and local inventory requirements. Small Business Enterprise set-asides and local preference points are common in Florida jurisdictions; DBE compliance is required under Phoenix procurement.
