UNSPSC 40174603: Cast iron pipe tee

Pipe tee made of cast iron

UNSPSC 40174603 Cast iron pipe tee is a Commodity code that encompasses replacement and repair components for sanitary sewer and water main infrastructure. State and local governments procure cast iron pipe tees as part of coordinated sewer and water system rehabilitation projects, where aging or deteriorated gravity mains and water lines require systematic replacement. The actual work being bought under this code involves point repairs, mainline extensions, and service connection replacements in municipal water and sewer systems—work typically solicited through IFBs and ITBs by county sanitation districts, municipal utilities, and county departments managing wastewater and potable water infrastructure.

Recent activity shows issuing bodies concentrated in Florida and California counties. Pinellas County, Florida issued IFB 260652ITBC in October 2026 for the Ridgewood Estates Sewer Improvements and 82nd Avenue & 113rd Street Water Main Improvements, a two-phase project involving approximately 500 linear feet of 12-inch PVC sanitary sewer pipe, six 4-foot diameter manholes, and approximately 6,800 linear feet of 6-inch water main replacement, with a 10% SBE participation goal and bids due November 5, 2026. In California, Sanitation District No. 2-3 in Santa Clara County issued ITB ITBRDAFY270088 in August 2026 for the Structural Defect Repair Project Phase 2, encompassing removal and replacement of vitrified clay pipe and cast iron with PVC and HDPE at multiple diameters, twenty-seven 4"×6" wyes, and service connection fittings across thirty-five point repairs and five mainline pipe-burst replacements, with bids due September 17, 2026. Santa Clara County also solicited the Central Expressway Pavement Rehabilitation Project (ITB ITBRDAFY260694) in April 2026, though that opportunity focuses on roadway rather than utility infrastructure. The code shows limited but steady activity driven by aging municipal water and sewer systems requiring systematic rehabilitation in mid-sized to large jurisdictions.
