UNSPSC 40174005: Forged steel pipe slipon flange

Pipe slipon flange made of forged steel

UNSPSC 40174005 Forged steel pipe slip-on flange is a Commodity code, but recent state and local activity under this code does not reflect procurement of forged steel flanges. The two most recent opportunities tagged to this code involve sanitary sewer infrastructure rehabilitation and roadway pavement rehabilitation — both requiring PVC pipe, HDPE pipe, precast concrete manholes, and asphalt overlay rather than forged steel components. The code shows a mismatch between its nominal scope and the work state and local buyers are actually soliciting under it, suggesting either a classification error in the posting process or minimal relevant procurement activity.

Santa Clara County issued both recent opportunities. The County Sanitation District No. 2-3 Structural Defect Repair Project Phase 2 (ITB ITBRDAFY270088, due September 17, 2026) encompasses thirty-five sanitary sewer point repairs, five pipe-burst replacements, and two mainline extensions in unincorporated eastern foothills using PVC SDR26 and HDPE pipe with precast concrete manholes and service connection wyes. The Central Expressway Pavement Rehabilitation Project Between Bowers Avenue and Scott Boulevard (ITB ITBRDAFY260694, due May 21, 2026) called for comprehensive pavement rehabilitation including partial depth recycling, hot mix asphalt overlay, concrete curb and gutter, ADA improvements, and traffic signal modifications over a 142 working-day schedule. Neither solicitation references forged steel flanges or components aligned with the code's stated commodity. No other jurisdictions or geographic spread emerges from the available opportunities.
