UNSPSC 40174506: Copper pipe swivel or rotating joint

Pipe swivel or rotating joint made of copper

UNSPSC 40174506 Copper pipe swivel or rotating joint is a Commodity code that nominally covers specialized plumbing and piping components, but recent state and local procurement activity shows minimal direct solicitation for these products. The single recent opportunity posted under this code—Santa Clara County's Central Expressway Pavement Rehabilitation Project (ITB ITBRDAFY260694)—is a comprehensive roadway reconstruction and improvement project that includes pavement rehabilitation, curb and gutter installation, ADA access improvements, traffic signal modifications, bioretention basin installation, and guardrail replacement. The scope of work is extensive but does not center on copper pipe swivel joints or rotating joints as a primary procurement driver. This mismatch suggests the code may have been applied as a secondary or incidental classification rather than reflecting the core commodities or services being solicited.

Santa Clara County issued the ITB on April 29, 2026, with bids due by 2:00 p.m. on May 21, 2026, submitted in physical form to the County Clerk of the Board of Supervisors in San Jose, California. The project timeline requires completion within 142 working days following the Notice of Award, with work anticipated to commence 30 to 45 days after award. The solicitation does not specify set-asides, disadvantaged-enterprise restrictions, or preferential procurement criteria, nor does it disclose a project budget or award value range. The limited recent activity under this code suggests it sees infrequent use in state and local procurement, at least in the commodities actually aligned with its nominal definition.
