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. State and local governments use this code to tag water infrastructure, utilities, and general piping procurement, though recent solicitations show the code is applied inconsistently to capture a much broader range of pipe and fitting products — including mechanical joint restraining devices, cast iron flanged fittings, and miscellaneous water distribution components — that extend well beyond forged steel slip-on flanges alone. The issuing bodies are predominantly municipal water utilities and county infrastructure departments. Santa Clara County, Palm Beach County, the City of Tampa, and the City of Phoenix Water Services have all posted opportunities under or closely aligned with this code family in the past four months, indicating steady demand from midsized to large jurisdictions managing water, wastewater, and stormwater systems.

Geographic activity centers on California and Florida, with additional procurement from Arizona. Santa Clara County (California) solicited a pavement rehabilitation project with an IFB due May 21, 2026, that spans infrastructure improvements including guardrails and traffic control; Palm Beach County (Florida) issued an IFB for mechanical joint restraining devices for ductile iron pipe and PVC pipe on June 4, 2026, with an anticipated contract value of $200,000 over twelve months and SBE and local preferences available; the City of Tampa (Florida) posted an RFQ for cast iron flanged fittings due February 25, 2026, supporting multiple city departments; and the City of Phoenix Water Services Department (Arizona) issued a five-year IFB for water pipe and miscellaneous fittings due February 19, 2026, covering fifteen product groups with DBE compliance required. Bidders should verify code alignment in each solicitation, as the nominal code description does not consistently match the actual products being purchased.
