UNSPSC 40174201: Carbon steel pipe sockolet

Pipe sockolet made of carbon steel

UNSPSC 40174201 Carbon steel pipe sockolet is a Commodity code that spans industrial piping supply and related fittings for municipal water, sewer, and drainage infrastructure. State and local governments procure sockolets as part of broader water-main replacement and sewer-infrastructure repair programs, typically bundled with pipe, valves, couplings, and appurtenances in as-needed supply contracts. Recent opportunities show demand concentrated in water-main relocation work, sanitary sewer mainline rehabilitation, stormwater outfall replacement, and airport infrastructure maintenance across airport authorities, city public works departments, county water and sewer authorities, and municipal sanitation districts.

The geographic spread spans Arizona, Georgia, California, and Florida, with particular recent activity in Arizona (City of Phoenix Public Works procuring industrial pipe and fittings on a three-year term in September 2026), Georgia (City of Augusta requesting HDPE pipe and couplings in September 2026; Douglasville-Douglas County Water and Sewer Authority seeking annual pipe fittings in October 2026; County of DeKalb requesting quick insertion valves in August 2026; City of Calhoun requesting water-main materials in June 2026), California (Santa Clara County Sanitation District No. 2-3 performing sewer mainline point repairs and pipe-burst replacements in September 2026), and Florida (City of Sarasota requesting potable water materials in June 2026; City of Palm Bay replacing I-95 outfall piping in July 2026). The City of Phoenix issued two separate solicitations for industrial pipe and fittings under IFB 26-SW-0379 (August 2026) and IFB 27-SW-0447 (September 2026), indicating repeat procurement of sockolets and related products for airport operations. Opportunities are predominantly IFB and ITB notice types with firm-fixed pricing, local-inventory requirements, and 24–48 hour delivery expectations; contract terms typically run one to three years with optional renewal periods.
