UNSPSC 40174702: Carbon steel pipe threaded flange

Pipe threaded flange made of carbon steel

UNSPSC 40174702 Carbon steel pipe threaded flange is a Commodity code representing specialized pipe fittings and flanged components that state and local water and wastewater utilities, public works departments, and transit authorities procure for infrastructure projects and ongoing operations. Recent solicitations show that governments buy flanged fittings—including reducers, tees, outlet flanges, and restraining devices—across multiple pipe material types (cast iron, ductile iron, polyvinyl chloride) and sizes to support water distribution networks, stormwater systems, and major pavement rehabilitation projects. Issuing bodies span city purchasing departments (Tampa, Phoenix), county procurement offices (Santa Clara, Palm Beach), and specialized municipal utility departments; no single repeat buyer dominates the recent activity. The work is straightforward procurement of manufactured components with firm fixed unit pricing, 30-to-90-day delivery windows, and standard insurance and warranty requirements—typical of municipal supply contracts.

Geographic activity appears concentrated in California and Florida based on recent postings. The City of Phoenix Water Services Department issued an IFB for water pipe and miscellaneous fittings (including flanges) as a five-year contract with sealed offers due February 19, 2026, covering 15 product groups with quantities ranging up to over 21,000 units and strict AWWA, ASTM, and NSF compliance requirements. Palm Beach County Board of County Commissioners posted IFB 26-038/RR on April 22, 2026, for mechanical joint restraining devices across two lots (ductile iron pipe and PVC pipe fittings) with estimated combined quantities of 1,830 units and a June 4, 2026, response deadline; the anticipated contract value is $200,000 over twelve months with four optional renewal periods and a five percent local preference for bidders with a permanent place of business in the county. The City of Tampa issued RFQ 26-P-00152 on March 9, 2026, for Standard Class 125 flanged fittings (five line items of cast iron fittings) with a February 25, 2026, due date and one-year award period. Santa Clara County solicited the Central Expressway Pavement Rehabilitation Project (ITB ITBRDAFY260694, due May 21, 2026), a large construction project that included flange and pipe component materials among extensive pavement and infrastructure work. Procurement typically includes SBE and local vendor preferences in Florida municipalities and carries moderate insurance thresholds ($500,000–$2,000,000 general liability); no set-asides appear standard across jurisdictions.
