UNSPSC 40174904: Ductile iron pipe union

Pipe union made of ductile iron

UNSPSC 40174904 Ductile iron pipe union is a Commodity code describing a single product line — ductile iron unions used to join pipe segments in water and wastewater infrastructure. State and local governments procure these components as part of larger infrastructure, rehabilitation, and utility projects. The code sees activity from county departments of public works, transit authorities, water and sewer districts, and municipal engineering departments. Procurement typically occurs embedded within broader construction or infrastructure RFPs and ITBs rather than as standalone material purchases, with specifications driven by engineering standards and compatibility with existing or planned pipe networks.

Recent opportunities tagged to this code show minimal relevance to ductile iron unions themselves. Santa Clara County's Central Expressway Pavement Rehabilitation Project (ITB ITBRDAFY260694, due May 21, 2026) addresses pavement, curbs, sidewalks, and traffic infrastructure with no mention of pipe unions or water systems. The Greater Louisville Workforce Development Board's Construction Trade Pipeline Program Service Provider solicitation (RFP 260177, due March 20, 2026) seeks workforce training and placement services entirely unrelated to pipe components. The code shows little recent relevant state and local procurement activity; the tagged opportunities appear to reflect tagging misalignment rather than genuine ductile iron union procurement under UNSPSC 40174904.
