UNSPSC 40173904: Forged steel pipe rupture disk

Pipe rupture disk made of forged steel

UNSPSC 40173904 Forged steel pipe rupture disk is a Commodity code that does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged to this code instead reflect broad procurement for water, sewer, and stormwater pipe materials—HDPE, PVC, ductile iron, and vitrified clay pipe in bulk quantities, along with fittings, couplings, valves, and related appurtenances for utility infrastructure maintenance and construction. Forged steel rupture disks, which are pressure-relief devices for confined piping systems, represent a narrow specialty product that does not align with the general-supply and replacement-pipe scope appearing in current solicitations.

State and local water, sewer, and stormwater utilities issue the bulk of opportunities in this category: the City of Phoenix Public Works Department (two separate three-year supply contracts for HDPE and PVC pipe and fittings, IFB 27-SW-0447 and IFB 26-SW-0379 with response dates of September 30 and August 12, 2026 respectively); the City of Augusta, Georgia (ITB 27-116 for HDPE pipe, couplings, and sections, due September 29, 2026); Douglasville-Douglas County Water and Sewer Authority in Georgia (IFB 327 for pipe fittings and materials, due October 7, 2026); Santa Clara County Sanitation District No. 2-3 in California (ITB for sewer mainline repairs and replacements in PVC and HDPE, due September 17, 2026); DeKalb County, Georgia (ITB 2026-034 for quick insertion valves, a three-year contract, due August 27, 2026); and the City of Calhoun, Georgia (BID 2026-00299 for water main relocation supplies, due June 18, 2026). Activity concentrates in Georgia, California, Arizona, and Florida. Because the code nominally describes a specialty pressure-relief device but the actual recent procurement is general utility piping supply, this code appears misaligned with current state and local spending patterns and is not a productive pursuit vehicle for vendors in the forged steel rupture disk market.
