UNSPSC 40174506: Copper pipe swivel or rotating joint

Pipe swivel or rotating joint made of copper

UNSPSC 40174506 Copper pipe swivel or rotating joint (Commodity) covers specialized pipe connection components used in pressurized and non-pressurized pipeline systems, particularly in water and wastewater infrastructure repair and expansion projects. State and local governments solicit under this code when they need quick-insert valves, tapping sleeves, resilient wedge insert gate valves, and related valve insertion equipment for mainline and service connection work in sanitary sewer rehabilitation, water distribution, and pressurized pipeline applications. The issuing bodies include county sanitation districts, county utilities and public works departments, and special-purpose water authorities—typically procurement offices handling infrastructure modernization and system expansion within unincorporated or service-area territories.

Recent activity spans California and Georgia. The County of DeKalb, Georgia posted an ITB on July 27, 2026 (due August 27, 2026) for a three-year multiyear contract covering high-pressure and low-pressure quick insert valves, tapping sleeves, resilient wedge insert gate valves, and optional valve insertion equipment for pressurized and non-pressurized pipeline systems. Santa Clara County in California's Sanitation District No. 2-3 posted an IB on August 26, 2026 (due September 17, 2026) for sewer infrastructure rehabilitation that included removal and replacement of service connection fittings—twenty-seven 4×6" wyes, two 4×8" wyes, and two 4×10" wyes—as part of mainline point repairs and pipe-burst replacement work. Both opportunities represent standard state and local demand for valve and fitting components in routine infrastructure maintenance cycles with multiyear or single-project terms.
