UNSPSC 40174007: Copper pipe slipon flange

Slipon flange made of copper

UNSPSC 40174007 Copper pipe slip-on flange is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local solicitations, encompasses a broader range of pipe fittings and water infrastructure components than the code name alone suggests. State and local governments soliciting under this code are actually purchasing flanged fittings, joint restraining devices, water pipe assemblies, and miscellaneous piping system components to support water distribution, municipal infrastructure, and capital improvement projects. The issuing bodies include county water and utility departments, municipal water services divisions, and general government procurement offices. Recent solicitations show purchasing is driven by routine maintenance, system expansion, and capital-project support rather than by episodic demand.

Activity appears geographically distributed across the Southwest and Southeast, with recent opportunities from the City of Phoenix Water Services Department (five-year contract for water pipe and miscellaneous fittings, IFB 260217, due February 19, 2026), Santa Clara County (pavement and infrastructure rehabilitation, ITB ITBRDAFY260694, due May 21, 2026), Palm Beach County (mechanical joint restraining devices for DIP and PVC pipe, IFB 26-038/RR, due June 4, 2026, anticipated contract value $200,000), and the City of Tampa (Class 125 flanged fittings, RFQ 26-P-00152, due February 25, 2026). Quantities range widely depending on project scope—from single-digit units for specialized fittings to over 21,000 units for routine couplings in multi-year contracts. Contract terms generally span one to five years with firm-fixed unit pricing, and many solicitations impose AWWA, ASTM, and NSF certification requirements for potable-water applications. Small Business Enterprise and local vendor preferences appear in some jurisdictions, particularly Palm Beach County.
