UNSPSC 40174808: Copper pipe toilet flange

Toilet flange made of copper

UNSPSC 40174808 Copper pipe toilet flange (Commodity) shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The four most recent opportunities tagged under this code involve pavement rehabilitation, mechanical joint restraining devices for water distribution pipe, cast iron flanged fittings, and general water pipe and miscellaneous fittings — none of which directly concern copper pipe toilet flanges. The mismatch suggests either misclassification in the sourcing systems of the issuing bodies or that the code sees little actual activity in its nominal scope. State and local water utilities and public works departments are the primary issuing bodies, spanning California, Florida, and Arizona, but their actual procurement needs under this code do not match the commodity description.

Recent opportunities attributed to this code include Santa Clara County's Central Expressway Pavement Rehabilitation Project (IFB, due May 21, 2026), Palm Beach County's mechanical joint restraining devices for ductile iron and PVC pipe (IFB 26-038/RR, due June 4, 2026, anticipated contract value $200,000), the City of Tampa's Standard Class 125 flanged fittings (RFQ 26-P-00152, due February 25, 2026), and the City of Phoenix Water Services Department's five-year water pipe and miscellaneous fittings contract (IFB 260217, due February 19, 2026). None of these solicitations target copper pipe toilet flanges. Business development professionals evaluating this code should verify classification accuracy with prospective customers or consider whether the code is being used as a catch-all for related plumbing and piping materials rather than as a discrete commodity category.
