UNSPSC 40174302: Carbon steel pipe spacer

Pipe spacer made of carbon steel

UNSPSC 40174302 Carbon steel pipe spacer, Commodity tier, covers supply contracts for industrial and utility piping materials and fittings, though the recent opportunities show minimal direct demand for carbon steel spacers themselves. State and local governments buying under this code are sourcing HDPE and PVC pipe in various diameters, pipe couplings, wyes, elbows, fittings, valves, and related appurtenances for water, sewer, and stormwater infrastructure maintenance and construction. The issuing bodies span city public works departments, county water and sewer authorities, and municipal utilities across multiple states. The City of Phoenix Public Works Department appears as a repeat buyer, posting two separate three-year supply contracts in August and September 2026 for industrial pipe, fittings, and equipment serving the Phoenix Aviation Department across three airports; both solicitations emphasize 24- to 48-hour delivery from local inventory, firm pricing for the full three-year term, and DBE compliance under 49 CFR Part 26.

Recent activity clusters in Arizona, Georgia, California, and Florida. The City of Phoenix issued IFB 26-SW-0379 (due August 12, 2026) and followed with IFB 27-SW-0447 (due September 30, 2026) for HDPE pipe ranging 1.5 to 24 inches and PVC pipe 0.75 to 4 inches with associated fittings and hand tools. In Georgia, the City of Augusta posted ITB 27-116 for HDPE pipe, couplings, and bends (8 to 36 inches) due September 29, 2026, while the Douglasville-Douglas County Water and Sewer Authority solicited water and sewer pipe fittings and related inventory materials under IFB 327 due October 7, 2026. The County of DeKalb, Georgia issued ITB 2026-034-ITB for quick insertion valves and tapping sleeves (due August 27, 2026) on a three-year contract. The City of Palm Bay, Florida issued ITB 41ITB26 for I-95 Outfall Pipe Replacement due July 14, 2026, and the City of Calhoun, Georgia bid materials for water main relocation including ductile iron and PVC piping due June 18, 2026. Santa Clara County, California is managing sewer mainline point repairs and pipe-burst replacements (ITB September 17, 2026) involving PVC SDR26 and HDPE pipe with service connection wyes. Carbon steel spacers do not appear explicitly in any recent opportunity; activity under this code reflects broader piping-systems supply and infrastructure replacement work where spacers may be ancillary components rather than primary line items.
