UNSPSC 40174602: Carbon steel pipe tee

Pipe tee made of carbon steel

UNSPSC 40174602 Carbon steel pipe tee is a Commodity code that sees minimal direct procurement activity in state and local solicitations. Recent opportunities tagged with this code do not align with its nominal scope—the single available recent record, Santa Clara County's Central Expressway Pavement Rehabilitation Project (ITB ITBRDAFY260694), is a general pavement and roadway construction effort encompassing asphalt overlay, concrete curb and gutter, traffic signals, and bioretention basins, with no specific reference to carbon steel pipe tees or piping components. The mismatch suggests either misclassification at the issuing body or incidental use of pipe fittings within a broader infrastructure project rather than dedicated procurement of the commodity itself.

State and local agencies may use carbon steel pipe tees in water, sewer, or utility distribution networks underlying pavement projects, but recent opportunities do not isolate or actively solicit this component as a primary procurement category. Santa Clara County's May 21, 2026 ITB deadline represents the only recent activity identified under this code. Firms pursuing work in utility infrastructure, water systems, or similar applications may encounter carbon steel pipe tees as a line item within larger construction or rehabilitation RFPs or ITBs, but the code does not show sustained standalone demand in the current state and local market. Monitor related infrastructure and utility codes for more direct procurement signals.
