UNSPSC 40174102: Forged steel pipe socketweld flange

Pipe socketweld flange made of forged steel

UNSPSC 40174102 Forged steel pipe socketweld flange (Commodity) covers flanged pipe fittings and related water infrastructure components that state and local governments procure for water distribution systems, wastewater operations, and utility infrastructure maintenance. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers purchasing a broad range of flanged fittings—cast iron flanged fittings in multiple sizes, mechanical joint restraining devices for ductile iron and polyvinyl chloride pipe, and water pipe with miscellaneous fittings assemblies. The code attracts solicitations from city water departments, county utilities, and municipal purchasing offices. Issuing bodies include administrative cities (Phoenix, Tampa), county boards of commissioners (Santa Clara County, Palm Beach County), and regional utility departments, with no single repeat buyer dominating recent activity.

Recent opportunities span California, Arizona, and Florida. Santa Clara County is seeking comprehensive pavement rehabilitation including related drainage and infrastructure improvements through ITB ITBRDAFY260694, due May 21, 2026; Palm Beach County is issuing IFB 26-038/RR for mechanical joint restraining devices in two lots (ductile iron and PVC pipe sizes) with an anticipated contract value of $200,000 over twelve months and a June 4, 2026 deadline; the City of Tampa posted RFQ 26-P-00152 for cast iron flanged fittings with a February 25, 2026 response date; and the City of Phoenix Water Services Department is soliciting water pipe and miscellaneous fittings under a five-year IFB contract commencing May 1, 2026, with offers due February 19, 2026. Palm Beach County's procurement explicitly includes SBE price preference (ten percent when within ten percent of lowest non-SBE bid) and local preference (five percent), while Phoenix requires DBE compliance under 49 C.F.R. Part 26. Insurance requirements are standard across solicitations—Commercial General Liability typically $1 million to $2 million per occurrence.
