UNSPSC 40174802: Cast iron pipe toilet flange

Pipe toilet flange made of cast iron

UNSPSC 40174802 Cast iron pipe toilet flange is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it do not reflect purchases of toilet flanges. Instead, the code shows activity in water infrastructure and related plumbing components — mechanical joint restraining devices for ductile iron and PVC pipe, flanged fittings for municipal water systems, and water pipe assemblies. The issuing bodies are primarily utilities and public works departments: Palm Beach County Board of County Commissioners (procurement of mechanical joint restraining devices), the City of Tampa's Purchasing Department (flanged fittings for city departments), and the City of Phoenix Water Services Department (water pipe and miscellaneous fittings for a five-year supply contract). Counties, cities, and their water departments are the active buyers under this code, each soliciting competitively to support ongoing operations and infrastructure maintenance.

Recent activity spans California, Florida, and Arizona. Santa Clara County (California) issued an ITB for the Central Expressway Pavement Rehabilitation Project (due May 21, 2026), though that opportunity appears tagged broadly and includes extensive civil works beyond plumbing fixtures. Palm Beach County (Florida) issued IFB 26-038/RR for mechanical joint restraining devices on a term contract basis with an estimated value of $200,000 over twelve months and a June 4, 2026 deadline, offering SBE and local vendor preferences. The City of Tampa (Florida) issued RFQ 26-P-00152 for Standard Class 125 flanged fittings with a February 25, 2026 deadline and identified SLBE-certified supplier TLD LLC as an eligible respondent. The City of Phoenix (Arizona) issued IFB 260217 for water pipe and miscellaneous fittings under a five-year contract commencing May 1, 2026, with a February 19, 2026 deadline, DBE compliance requirements, and detailed insurance and warranty provisions. The code shows a mismatch between its nominal scope and current procurement activity — state and local governments buying under 40174802 are actually purchasing water distribution and utility components rather than toilet flanges.
