UNSPSC 40174705: Forged steel pipe threaded flange

Pipe threaded flange made of forged steel

UNSPSC 40174705 Forged steel pipe threaded flange (Commodity) appears in state and local procurement records primarily through water infrastructure and utility projects, though recent solicitations show minimal direct activity explicitly referencing this specific commodity. State and local water utilities, county public works departments, and city water services divisions source pipe fittings, flanges, and related restraining devices for water distribution and wastewater systems. The work involves purchasing manufactured components—cast iron and ductile iron pipe fittings, flanged connections, mechanical joint restraining devices, and associated hardware—for integration into municipal water systems, typically bundled within broader water infrastructure contracts or term supply agreements rather than as standalone purchases of threaded flanges.

Recent activity spans Florida and Arizona. Palm Beach County issued an IFB in April 2026 for mechanical joint restraining devices for ductile iron and PVC pipe with an anticipated contract value of $200,000 over twelve months. The City of Tampa released an RFQ in March 2026 for Class 125 flanged fittings (cast iron reducers, tees, and outlet flanges) with delivery required within ten days of order; the City of Phoenix Water Services Department posted an IFB in February 2026 for water pipe and miscellaneous fittings—encompassing flanges, couplings, gate valves, elbows, and 15 product groups total—under a five-year contract with a pre-offer conference held in early February and sealed offers due February 19, 2026. Santa Clara County's April 2026 pavement rehabilitation ITB, posted with bids due May 21, 2026, does not indicate direct procurement of forged threaded flanges despite the composite scope. The code shows modest frequency and is most active in water utility procurement; business development professionals should monitor state and local water services RFPs and term-supply ITBs and IFBs rather than expect dedicated commodity solicitations.
