UNSPSC 40173906: Stainless steel pipe rupture disk

Pipe rupture disk made of stainless steel

UNSPSC 40173906 Stainless steel pipe rupture disk is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local solicitations tagged under it do not reflect this category; instead, they procure industrial and utility piping systems, fittings, valves, and related materials for water, sewer, and stormwater infrastructure repair and replacement. The code shows minimal relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal scope. State and local issuing bodies purchasing under this code span city public works departments, county water and sewer authorities, and specialized utility districts. The City of Phoenix Public Works Department has posted two separate IFBs for industrial pipe supply (IFB 27-SW-0447 in September 2026 and IFB 26-SW-0379 in August 2026), each covering HDPE and PVC pipe ranging from 0.75 to 24 inches in diameter with fittings, glue, and hand tools on three-year terms with optional one-year extensions; both contracts are subject to DBE-Neutral requirements under 49 CFR Part 26 and require local inventory, 24-to-48-hour delivery, and firm pricing for the full contract term.

Water and sewer utilities in Georgia—the City of Augusta, the Douglasville-Douglas County Water and Sewer Authority, and DeKalb County—have issued recent ITBs for HDPE and PVC pipe, couplings, valves, and fittings, with terms ranging from one year (Augusta, ITB 27-116 due September 29, 2026) to three years (DeKalb County, ITB 2026-034-ITB due August 27, 2026). Santa Clara County, California issued bids for a sewer infrastructure rehabilitation project (ITB due September 17, 2026) requiring pipe bursting and point repairs with PVC SDR26 and HDPE replacements. The City of Sarasota, Florida posted a materials-only ITB for potable water main replacement (ITB 26-31JS, response deadline already passed in June 2026) specifying compliance with an approved materials list. The broader geographic spread reflects recent activity concentrated in Georgia, California, Arizona, and Florida, with utilities prioritizing multi-year supply contracts and project-specific material procurements for aging water and sewer infrastructure upgrades. The code's nominal scope—stainless steel rupture disks—does not align with the utility piping and infrastructure materials actually being purchased; business development professionals should note that this commodity code exhibits weak market signal for the specific product it nominally describes.
