UNSPSC 40174907: Stainless steel pipe union

Pipe union made of stainless steel

UNSPSC 40174907 Stainless steel pipe union is a Commodity code covering metal pipe fittings and connectors used in water and wastewater infrastructure work. State and local governments procure these components as part of sewer rehabilitation, pipe replacement, and sanitary sewer extension projects. Recent solicitations show county sanitation districts and county transportation departments issuing invitations to bid (ITB) for infrastructure projects that specify pipe unions and related fittings as part of larger construction packages. The work involves removal and replacement of existing piping systems, pipe-bursting operations, and installation of new service laterals and mainline extensions in sanitary sewer networks.

Santa Clara County has posted the most recent relevant activity. County Sanitation District No. 2-3 issued ITB ITBRDAFY270088 on August 26, 2026 for the Structural Defect Repair Project Phase 2, a sewer infrastructure rehabilitation program in the unincorporated eastern foothills with proposals due September 17, 2026. The scope includes thirty-five sanitary sewer mainline point repairs, five mainline pipe-burst replacements, and two sewer mainline extensions, with removal and replacement of service connection fittings including twenty-seven 4"×6" wyes, two 4"×8" wyes, and two 4"×10" wyes, along with 4-inch PVC SDR26 service laterals. Santa Clara County also solicited the Central Expressway Pavement Rehabilitation Project between Bowers Avenue and Scott Boulevard via ITB ITBRDAFY260694 posted April 29, 2026, due May 21, 2026, which included removal and replacement of inductive traffic loops and other infrastructure components. Both projects reflect sewer and infrastructure rehabilitation work typical of this commodity code, though the Commodity code appears underutilized in recent state and local procurement—most activity reflects broader construction ITBs that embed pipe fittings as subordinate line items rather than standalone procurement events.
