UNSPSC 40175000: Pipe weldneck flanges

UNSPSC 40175000 Pipe weldneck flanges is a Class code, but state and local governments soliciting under it are actually buying a broad range of pipe fittings, joint restraining devices, and water infrastructure components — not weldneck flanges specifically. Recent opportunities show procurement of mechanical joint restraining devices for ductile iron and PVC pipe, cast iron flanged fittings in multiple sizes and configurations, water pipe and miscellaneous fittings including bushings, couplings, elbows, gate valves, and saddle tees, and pavement rehabilitation work that includes incidental pipe and fitting components. The issuing bodies are city and county water departments, procurement offices, and public works agencies. Santa Clara County, Palm Beach County, the City of Tampa, and the City of Phoenix have posted opportunities in the past four months, with scope ranging from single-purchase RFQs for specific flange types to multi-year term contracts for comprehensive water infrastructure supplies.

Recent activity is concentrated in California and Florida, with Arizona also active. The Palm Beach County IFB for mechanical joint restraining devices (IFB #26-038/RR, due June 4, 2026) seeks firm fixed unit pricing for ductile iron pipe restraining devices in sizes 3 to 54 inches and PVC restraining devices 3 to 24 inches, with estimated total contract value of $200,000 over twelve months and four optional one-year renewals; this procurement includes a ten percent Small Business Enterprise price preference and five percent local preference. The City of Phoenix Water Services Department issued an IFB for water pipe and miscellaneous fittings (IFB260217, due February 19, 2026) on a five-year term commencing May 1, 2026, covering 15 product groups with quantities up to 21,000 units; all materials must meet AWWA, ASTM, and ANSI standards with NSF certification. The City of Tampa RFQ (26-P-00152, due February 25, 2026) requested cast iron flanged fittings in five line items with ten-day delivery on FOB Destination terms; TLD LLC, an SLBE-certified Tampa supplier, was identified as eligible. Small Business Enterprise and local-vendor preferences appear in multiple solicitations.
