UNSPSC 40174801: Carbon steel pipe toilet flange

Pipe toilet flange made of carbon steel

UNSPSC 40174801 Carbon steel pipe toilet flange, a Commodity code, shows minimal recent activity aligned with its nominal scope. State and local governments procure toilet flanges as replacement components in building maintenance and renovation work, but the code's recent posting activity reflects broader sanitary sewer infrastructure repair and rehabilitation rather than plumbing fixtures in isolation. The issuing bodies are primarily county sanitation districts and county public works departments conducting infrastructure replacement programs. When toilet flanges and related sewer connection fittings are purchased, they are typically bundled within larger sewer mainline repair, pipe replacement, and extension projects that also encompass pipe, manholes, wyes, laterals, and restoration work.

Santa Clara County has posted two recent ITB opportunities tagged to this code: the County Sanitation District No. 2-3 Structural Defect Repair Project Phase 2 (ITB ITBRDAFY270088, due September 17, 2026) covering thirty-five sanitary sewer point repairs, five mainline pipe-burst replacements, and two sewer mainline extensions in the unincorporated eastern foothills, with work including removal and replacement of vitrified clay pipe with PVC, HDPE pipe bursting, and service connection fittings including wyes; and the Central Expressway Pavement Rehabilitation Project Between Bowers Avenue and Scott Boulevard (ITB ITBRDAFY260694, due May 21, 2026), a pavement rehabilitation and roadway improvements scope. Geographic activity is concentrated in California, specifically Santa Clara County. The code sees limited recent state and local procurement activity and appears underutilized as a primary classification for isolated toilet flange purchases; the genuine opportunity lies in larger sewer infrastructure programs where flanges and connection fittings are specified components within comprehensive mainline and extension work.
