UNSPSC 40174807: Brass pipe toilet flange

Toilet flange made of brass

UNSPSC 40174807 Brass pipe toilet flange, a Commodity code, shows a significant mismatch between its nominal scope and the work actually appearing in recent state and local solicitations. The recent opportunities in the block are all tagged to this code but do not involve brass pipe toilet flanges; instead, they center on water and utility infrastructure components including mechanical joint restraining devices for ductile iron and PVC pipes, cast iron flanged fittings for municipal water systems, and miscellaneous water distribution pipe and fittings. State and local governments are procuring these items through a mix of county water departments, municipal purchasing offices, and utility services divisions, typically as term contracts with firm unit pricing and multi-year renewal options. The solicitations reflect recurring procurement of standardized utility components rather than specialized plumbing fixtures, and they impose compliance with industry standards (AWWA, ASTM, ANSI, NSF certifications for potable water), insurance thresholds, and in some cases federal DBE requirements or local small-business preferences.

Recent activity spans Florida, Arizona, and California. Palm Beach County issued an IFB in April 2026 for mechanical joint restraining devices with an estimated contract value of $200,000 over twelve months, due June 4, 2026, with a small-business enterprise price preference and local-vendor preference available. The City of Phoenix Water Services Department solicited water pipe and miscellaneous fittings under a five-year IFB with offers due February 19, 2026, requiring bidders to have five years of operational history and maintain local inventory with next-day delivery capability. Santa Clara County issued an ITB in April 2026 for pavement rehabilitation including utility components, due May 21, 2026. The City of Tampa's RFQ in March 2026 for cast iron flanged fittings identifies TLD LLC, an SLBE-certified supplier, as an eligible respondent. The code shows recent activity but does not reflect the nominal product scope — pursuit should be predicated on whether your firm serves utility water and infrastructure procurement rather than plumbing retail.
