UNSPSC 40174604: Ductile iron pipe tee

Pipe tee made of ductile iron

UNSPSC 40174604 Ductile iron pipe tee, a Commodity code, covers cast iron and ductile iron pipe fittings—primarily tees, reducers, flanged outlet fittings, and related appurtenances—that state and local water utilities and public works departments procure for new infrastructure construction and system rehabilitation projects. Recent opportunities show municipalities and counties soliciting these fittings as components within larger water main extensions, booster pump station construction, and pavement rehabilitation work that includes storm and sanitary piping. Issuing bodies include county boards of commissioners (Bryan County and Franklin County, Georgia), municipal purchasing departments (City of Tampa, Florida), and county transportation authorities (Santa Clara County, California). Water utility projects dominate the code's recent activity, with booster pump station installations and water main extensions representing the largest procurement drivers; general municipal pipe fitting RFQs also appear.

Bryan County Board of Commissioners posted two related water infrastructure solicitations in late March 2026—one for a booster pump station (PE77523NONST2026000000068, due March 31, 2026) that includes 30-inch PVC water main and associated piping, and another for approximately 14,350 linear feet of 30-inch water main along Interstate 16 (PE77523NONST2026000000069, due March 31, 2026). Franklin County, Georgia Board of Commissioners issued an ITB for water system improvements including booster pump station renovation with new pumps and piping (PE77589NONST2026000000005, due March 24, 2026). The City of Tampa issued RFQ 26-P-00152 in March 2026 for Standard Class 125 flanged fittings including 6-by-2-inch and 4-by-4-inch tees and reducers, with a one-year award period and ten-day delivery requirement. Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Florida, with secondary activity in California; all solicitations emphasize Build America, Buy America Act compliance and federal/state funding through water infrastructure programs under the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021.
