UNSPSC 40174301: Brass pipe spacer

Pipe spacer made of brass

UNSPSC 40174301 Brass pipe spacer, a Commodity code, shows little relevant recent activity. State and local procurement solicitations tagged to this code overwhelmingly concern water, sewer, and stormwater infrastructure work that involves pipe supply, fittings, and construction services rather than brass pipe spacers. The recent opportunities in the dataset—covering industrial pipe and miscellaneous fittings for Phoenix airports, HDPE and PVC pipe and couplings for Augusta and Douglasville water authorities, sewer mainline repairs and extensions in Santa Clara County, quick insertion valves for DeKalb County, water main materials for Calhoun and Sarasota, and stormwater pipe rehabilitation planning in Palm Bay—center on commodity-scale supply of standard piping materials, valves, and construction labor. None of the posted solicitations explicitly identify brass pipe spacers as a line item or required component.

The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual procurement activity suggests that either the code is misclassified in state and local procurement systems for these infrastructure projects, or brass pipe spacers represent a negligible share of spend within water and sewer construction contracts. Vendors pursuing this code should verify with issuing procurement offices whether brass spacer requirements appear in detailed specifications or bill-of-materials schedules not visible in the summary-level opportunity data, or consider whether a higher-tier UNSPSC code—such as a broader pipe fittings or plumbing hardware family—better captures the actual buying pattern.
