UNSPSC 40174600: Pipe tees

UNSPSC 40174600 Pipe tees, a Class code, encompasses pipe fittings — particularly Y-shaped tee connections — that state and local water and sewer infrastructure projects procure for mainline and service connection work. The code captures replacement and installation of pipe tees in sanitary and stormwater systems, including wye-style fittings used to connect branch lines to primary mains. Soliciting bodies include county sanitation districts, county public works departments, and municipal utility authorities that manage water infrastructure rehabilitation and expansion projects.

Santa Clara County issued the two most recent opportunities under this code. County Sanitation District No. 2-3 posted ITB ITBRDAFY270088 on August 26, 2026 with a September 17, 2026 due date for the Structural Defect Repair Project Phase 2, a sewer infrastructure rehabilitation program in the unincorporated eastern foothills that includes removal and replacement of twenty-seven 4-inch-by-6-inch wyes, two 4-inch-by-8-inch wyes, and two 4-inch-by-10-inch wyes as part of sanitary sewer mainline point repairs and service connection fittings work. Santa Clara County also issued ITB ITBRDAFY260694 on April 29, 2026 for the Central Expressway Pavement Rehabilitation Project between Bowers Avenue and Scott Boulevard, with bids due May 21, 2026; while the scope was primarily pavement and traffic infrastructure, the project included ancillary water system connections that may have involved tee fittings. Recent activity is concentrated in California, specifically Santa Clara County, with infrastructure rehabilitation and replacement projects dominating the posted opportunities. The District requires sixty-five working days for project completion from Notice to Proceed on the sanitation work, and the County set a 142 working-day completion window for the expressway project.
