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, based on recent state and local solicitations, does not correspond to the work actually being procured. The recent opportunities tagged under this code solicit industrial pipe, water mains, sewer pipes, fittings, and related appurtenances—not rupture disks. State and local water utilities, public works departments, and county infrastructure agencies are purchasing ductile iron water mains, PVC piping, fire hydrants, valves, manhole components, and miscellaneous pipe system supplies in bulk quantities for ongoing replacement and capital improvement projects. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Public Works Department's IFB 26-SW-0379 for supply of industrial pipe and fittings on an as-needed basis with a three-year term commencing December 1, 2026; the City of Sarasota's ITB 26-31JS for materials only on a Small AC Water Main Replacement project due June 16, 2026; and Orange County, Florida's IFB Y26-126 for sewer pipes and fittings with an estimated five-year spending total of approximately $28.7 million. The issuing bodies are primarily municipal water and utilities departments, counties, and cities with ongoing infrastructure maintenance and replacement responsibilities.

Geographic activity concentrates in Florida—Orange County, the City of Sarasota, the City of Palm Bay, and the City of Calhoun—alongside activity in Georgia, Arizona, Texas, and California. The City of Phoenix and Orange County appear in multiple recent solicitations. The code shows consistent procurement activity across water main relocation, stormwater and sanitary sewer system upgrades, emergency pipe replacement projects, and routine as-needed supply agreements. Bidders typically must comply with approved material lists, maintain local inventory for rapid delivery (24 to 48 hours in some cases), provide firm pricing for multi-year terms, and meet American Iron and Steel or Buy American Act requirements when applicable. The solicitations reflect capital improvement cycles and aging infrastructure replacement priorities across water and wastewater utilities in mid-sized and large jurisdictions.
