UNSPSC 40174612: Copper pipe tee

Pipe tee made of copper

UNSPSC 40174612 Copper pipe tee is a Commodity code that appears in state and local procurement primarily as a component specification within larger water infrastructure and utilities projects rather than as a standalone procurement category. The recent solicitations show that copper pipe tees and related metallic fittings are being acquired as part of comprehensive water system construction and improvement work, including booster pump station installations, water main extensions, and piping system rehabilitation. State and local governments procuring under this code include county water authorities, municipal utilities, and county boards of commissioners managing public water and sewer infrastructure. The scope of work encompasses the supply of flanged fittings, pipe components, and associated appurtenances for pressurized water systems, often specified within larger design-build or construction contracts where vendors must comply with federal funding requirements including Build America, Buy America Act mandates for domestic steel and iron products.

Franklin County, Georgia posted an ITB for booster pump station renovation (PE77589NONST2026000000005, due March 24, 2026) involving demolition and installation of new pumps with piping and instrumentation. The City of Tampa, Florida issued an RFQ for Standard Class 125 flanged fittings (26P00152, due February 25, 2026) specifying cast iron flanged reducers and tees in multiple sizes for various municipal departments, with Small Local Business Enterprise certification preferences available. These projects require sealed bids with performance and payment bonds at 100 percent of contract value, compliance with Davis-Bacon Act and federal civil rights requirements, and adherence to strict material sourcing and domestic content rules tied to federal and state water infrastructure funding streams.
