UNSPSC 40173905: Malleable iron pipe rupture disk

Pipe rupture disk made of malleable iron

UNSPSC 40173905 Malleable iron pipe rupture disk is a Commodity code that represents a narrow product category with no recent state and local procurement activity directly aligned to the code's nominal scope. The source contains no opportunities soliciting malleable iron pipe rupture disks as a standalone line item or primary procurement focus. State and local governments posting under this code tier are instead buying broad categories of water, sewer, and industrial pipe infrastructure—including HDPE and PVC piping, fittings, valves, and related appurtenances—often tagged at higher UNSPSC tiers (Family or Class codes) that encompass multiple product lines rather than the specific commodity. The recent opportunities reflect purchasing patterns dominated by municipal water and sewer authorities, county departments, and city public works offices procuring integrated pipe and fitting systems for infrastructure rehabilitation, replacement, and maintenance on multiyear supply contracts or capital projects.

Recent procurement activity clusters in Arizona, California, and Georgia, with the City of Phoenix Public Works Department appearing twice as a significant repeat buyer. Phoenix solicited industrial pipe, miscellaneous fittings, and equipment under IFB 26-SW-0379 (due August 12, 2026) and IFB 27-SW-0447 (due September 30, 2026), both three-year multiyear supply contracts for HDPE and PVC pipe ranging from 0.75 to 24 inches in diameter with local inventory and 24–48-hour delivery requirements. The City of Augusta, Georgia issued ITB 27-116 for HDPE pipe, couplings, and end sections (due September 29, 2026), and the Douglasville-Douglas County Water and Sewer Authority in Georgia solicited water and sewer pipe fittings and related inventory materials under IFB 327 (due October 7, 2026). Santa Clara County, California and the City of Palm Bay, Florida both posted infrastructure rehabilitation projects involving PVC, HDPE, and cast iron pipe replacement or bursting. The code shows limited direct relevance to typical state and local procurement workflows; vendors targeting this tier should track higher-level Family and Class codes where water and sewer pipe supply opportunities are actually tagged.
