UNSPSC 40174705: Forged steel pipe threaded flange

Pipe threaded flange made of forged steel

UNSPSC 40174705 Forged steel pipe threaded flange is a Commodity code that shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The two recent opportunities posted by Santa Clara County — a sanitary sewer infrastructure rehabilitation project and a pavement rehabilitation project — involve extensive use of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipe, high-density polyethylene (HDPE) pipe, and concrete components rather than forged steel threaded flanges. The sewer project specifies removal and replacement of vitrified clay pipe with PVC SDR26 at multiple diameters, pipe bursting with HDPE, and precast concrete manholes; the roadway project centers on asphalt overlay, concrete curb and gutter work, and traffic signal modifications. Neither solicitation explicitly calls for forged steel flanges or indicates their use in the specified work scope.

Activity under this code remains geographically concentrated in California, specifically Santa Clara County, which posted both recent opportunities in 2026. The sewer infrastructure work (Sanitation District No. 2-3 Structural Defect Repair Project Phase 2, ITB due September 17, 2026) and the pavement rehabilitation work (Central Expressway Pavement Rehabilitation Project, ITB due May 21, 2026) represent the only recent state and local solicitations traceable to this code. No other issuing bodies, states, or jurisdictions appear in the available recent-opportunities record. The code shows little relevant recent activity, and the mismatch between the code's nominal focus on forged steel pipe fittings and the actual procurement categories evident in posted solicitations suggests that opportunities under this specific code may be infrequent or that state and local tagging practices do not align consistently with the commodity definition.
