UNSPSC 40174601: Brass pipe tee

Pipe tee union made of brass

UNSPSC 40174601 Brass pipe tee (Commodity) represents a narrow product category for plumbing and water infrastructure components, but recent state and local solicitations show little direct procurement activity for brass tees in isolation. Instead, jurisdictions are buying comprehensive water and wastewater infrastructure projects—booster pump stations, water main extensions, and pavement rehabilitation—in which brass tees and related fittings appear as line items embedded within larger construction scopes rather than as standalone materials orders. The only direct material solicitation in the recent record is the City of Tampa's RFQ for Standard Class 125 Flanged Fittings (cast iron, not brass), which bundled tees, reducers, and outlet flanges in a single quote request. State and local buyers under this code category include county boards of commissioners (Bryan County and Franklin County, Georgia; Santa Clara County, California), municipal purchasing departments (City of Tampa), and water/utilities agencies. Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia and Florida, with secondary presence in California.

The City of Tampa issued RFQ 26P00152 on March 9, 2026, requesting Standard Class 125 Flanged Fittings—including four 6-inch by 6-inch tees and two 4-inch by 2-inch flanged outlet flanges—with quotes due by February 25, 2026 and a one-year award term; the solicitation identified TLD LLC, a Tampa-based Small Local Business Enterprise certified supplier, as an eligible respondent. Franklin County, Georgia posted ITB PE77589NONST2026000000005 on February 18, 2026, for water system improvements including booster pump station renovation with two new pumps, piping, panels, and instrumentation, with sealed bids due March 24, 2026. Bryan County, Georgia solicited two related water infrastructure projects in March 2026—a booster pump station with 30-inch PVC water main and a 14,350-linear-foot water main extension along I-16, both due March 31, 2026—driven by American Rescue Plan Act funding and requiring Build America, Buy America Act compliance. The brass pipe tee code shows minimal direct procurement volume; material fittings procurement appears episodic and embedded within larger infrastructure projects rather than driven by standalone supply orders.
