UNSPSC 40174800: Pipe toilet flanges

UNSPSC 40174800 Pipe toilet flanges is a Class code that encompasses plumbing fixtures and related water distribution components purchased by state and local governments for infrastructure maintenance, utility operations, and construction projects. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers using this code for water pipe systems, mechanical joint restraining devices, flanged fittings, and allied plumbing hardware rather than toilet flanges narrowly construed. The code captures both small-quantity procurement of specialized fittings by municipal water utilities and larger-scale acquisition of standardized components for pavement rehabilitation and water system expansion projects. Issuing bodies include county governments (Santa Clara County, Palm Beach County), city utilities and purchasing departments (City of Phoenix Water Services, City of Tampa), and other municipal departments supporting general infrastructure operations.

Geographic activity concentrates in California and Florida, with additional recent solicitations from Arizona. Santa Clara County posted an ITB on April 29, 2026, for the Central Expressway Pavement Rehabilitation Project (due May 21, 2026), which includes removal and replacement of traffic loops and related utility work spanning 142 working days. Palm Beach County issued an IFB on April 22, 2026, for mechanical joint restraining devices for ductile iron and polyvinyl chloride pipe ranging from 3 to 54 inches in diameter, with an estimated contract value of $200,000 over twelve months and a June 4, 2026 response deadline. The City of Tampa released an RFQ on March 9, 2026, for Standard Class 125 flanged fittings (due February 25, 2026), and the City of Phoenix Water Services posted an IFB on February 23, 2026, for a five-year water pipe and miscellaneous fittings contract commencing May 1, 2026, covering 15 product groups with quantities ranging from specialized items to over 21,000 units for standard couplings. Insurance requirements and SBE preferences appear consistently across these solicitations; some buyers reserve the right to award by line item or to purchase from multiple vendors on a non-exclusive basis.
