UNSPSC 40174707: Stainless steel pipe threaded flange

Pipe threaded flange made of stainless steel

UNSPSC 40174707 Stainless steel pipe threaded flange, a Commodity code, sees limited recent state and local procurement activity that diverges significantly from the code's nominal scope. The recent opportunities posted under this code do not involve stainless steel pipe threaded flanges; instead, they span mechanical joint restraining devices for ductile iron and polyvinyl chloride pipe, cast iron flanged fittings, and miscellaneous water distribution components including bushings, couplings, elbows, gate valves, and reducers. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under or near this code include county water and utilities departments (Palm Beach County Board of County Commissioners, City of Phoenix Water Services Department), county transportation authorities (Santa Clara County), and municipal purchasing offices (City of Tampa). The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its stated product category.

The geographic spread of recent activity spans California, Florida, and Arizona. Representative recent opportunities include Palm Beach County's IFB for mechanical joint restraining devices for ductile iron pipe and polyvinyl chloride pipe (due June 4, 2026, with anticipated contract value of $200,000 over twelve months), the City of Tampa's RFQ for Standard Class 125 flanged fittings (due February 25, 2026), and the City of Phoenix Water Services Department's five-year IFB for water pipe and miscellaneous fittings commencing May 1, 2026. The code tagging appears inconsistent with actual procurement scope — vendors pursuing opportunities in potable water distribution components, joint restraint systems, and cast iron flanged fittings should monitor water utility and municipal water department solicitations directly rather than rely on this code's classification.
