UNSPSC 40174606: Malleable iron pipe tee

Pipe tee made of malleable iron

UNSPSC 40174606 Malleable iron pipe tee, a Commodity code, shows minimal recent activity aligned with its nominal scope. State and local governments use this code to procure malleable iron tee fittings for water and sewer infrastructure repair and replacement, but the recent opportunities block contains no direct solicitations for malleable iron tees or related fittings. The opportunities that do appear—sewer main rehabilitation, water main replacement, and pavement work—involve PVC, HDPE, and other modern pipe materials, not malleable iron components. When malleable iron fittings do appear in scope documents, they typically support legacy infrastructure work or specialized applications within larger water or wastewater projects.

The recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code do not reflect current procurement demand for malleable iron tees. Pinellas County, Florida's sewer and water main improvements (IFB 260652ITBC, due October 13, 2026 for qualification and November 5, 2026 for final bids) specify PVC and HDPE pipe exclusively; Santa Clara County's sanitary sewer rehabilitation project (ITB ITBRDAFY270088, due September 17, 2026) calls for PVC SDR26 and HDPE pipe with wye fittings and service connections but no malleable iron tees; and Santa Clara County's pavement rehabilitation work involves asphaltic concrete and Portland cement components. A school district IFB for athletic equipment (Northside Independent School District, IFB2026137, due October 19, 2026) is entirely unrelated to the code's pipe fitting scope. Bidders evaluating this code should verify the actual material specifications in published bid documents before commitment, as the UNSPSC tagging does not reliably predict malleable iron fitings as line items in current state and local water, wastewater, or utility infrastructure solicitations.
