UNSPSC 40175100: Pipe weldolets

A fitting used for butt weld branch connection where standard tee is not available due to size restrictions available and the piping is of critical / high pressure service.

UNSPSC 40175100 Pipe weldolets is a Class code encompassing the supply of industrial pipe, fittings, and related equipment that state and local water utilities, public works departments, and municipal agencies procure for water main construction, replacement, rehabilitation, and stormwater infrastructure projects. The scope spans ductile iron and PVC pipe in multiple diameters, mechanical joint fittings, gate valves, fire hydrants, curb stops, and ancillary components specified to approved material lists; recent solicitations also include as-needed supply agreements for industrial pipe and fittings with firm pricing and rapid delivery windows. Issuing bodies are predominantly municipal water and public works departments—the City of Phoenix Public Works Department, City of Sarasota Utilities Department, City of Calhoun, City of Palm Bay, and City of Lavonia—alongside county water authorities and special districts such as the North Texas Municipal Water District and Gwinnett County Department of Water Resources, reflecting the decentralized procurement patterns of water infrastructure across municipal and regional jurisdictions.

Geographic activity concentrates in Florida and Georgia, with secondary presence in Texas and California. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Public Works Department IFB 26SW0379 for industrial pipe, miscellaneous fittings, and equipment on a three-year as-needed supply contract with two one-year extensions due August 12, 2026, requiring 24- to 48-hour delivery from local inventory and compliance with DBE-Neutral program standards; the City of Sarasota ITB 26-31JS for materials-only bids on pipe, fittings, and appurtenances for the Small AC Water Main Replacement-FY24 project conforming to the City's Potable Water Approved Material List, due June 16, 2026; the City of Calhoun sealed bid for water main relocation supplies including ductile iron mains, PVC piping, mechanical joint fittings, and valves due June 18, 2026; and Gwinnett County's informal written quotation 128859 for ductile iron pipe nipples with PE DIP coating in flange-connected configurations due April 23, 2026. The code also captures larger infrastructure rehabilitation projects—the City of Palm Bay I-95 Outfall Pipe Replacement (ITB due July 14, 2026) and the City of Lavonia Water Treatment Plant 2026 Improvements with modifications to filter systems and chemical feed infrastructure (sealed bid due May 26, 2026)—that include pipe and fitting procurement as line items within broader construction scopes.
