UNSPSC 40174901: Brass pipe union

Pipe union made of brass

UNSPSC 40174901 Brass pipe union is a Commodity code representing fittings and connectors used in water, wastewater, and utility infrastructure assembly. State and local procurement activity under this code reflects the actual work: fabrication, supply, and installation of pipe unions, wyes, elbows, and related fittings across sanitary sewer rehabilitation, water main replacement, and utility distribution projects. Issuing bodies are primarily special-purpose sanitation districts, county public works departments, and municipal water authorities executing infrastructure maintenance and renewal programs. The work involves both material supply and labor installation of brass and allied-metal fittings as part of larger piping system replacements or extensions, often bundled with pipe supply and earthwork in comprehensive infrastructure bids.

Recent activity concentrates in California, particularly Santa Clara County. Santa Clara County Sanitation District No. 2-3 issued ITB ITBRDAFY270088 on August 26, 2026, due September 17, 2026, for the Structural Defect Repair Project Phase 2—a sixty-five working day sanitary sewer rehabilitation scope that explicitly calls for removal and replacement of twenty-seven 4"×6" wyes, two 4"×8" wyes, and two 4"×10" wyes alongside pipe bursting, mainline extensions, and service connection work. Santa Clara County similarly solicited ITB ITBRDAFY260694 on April 29, 2026, due May 21, 2026, for the Central Expressway Pavement Rehabilitation Project, which included utility infrastructure modifications as subordinate elements. The source reflects limited recent opportunity volume; pursuit depends on tracking infrastructure capital cycles and competitive bidding structures in target jurisdictions, particularly in California counties managing aging sewer and water systems.
