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, a Class code, encompasses industrial pipe components, fittings, and materials that state and local water, sewer, and aviation authorities procure on an as-needed basis for infrastructure maintenance, repair, and replacement. Recent opportunities reveal that this code captures a broader commodity scope than weldolets alone — state and local buyers are sourcing high-density polyethylene (HDPE) pipe in diameters from 1.5 to 36 inches, polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipe, ductile iron water mains, mechanical joint fittings, elbows, couplings, gate valves, tees, wyes, fire hydrants, curb stops, and related appurtenances for potable water distribution, sanitary sewer collection, stormwater systems, and airport maintenance. The issuing-body mix spans municipal water and sewer utilities (the City of Phoenix Public Works Department and Aviation Department, the City of Sarasota, the City of Calhoun), county water authorities (the Douglasville-Douglas County Water and Sewer Authority, the County of DeKalb, the North Texas Municipal Water District), and special-purpose drainage districts (Sanitation District No. 2-3 in Santa Clara County). The City of Phoenix appears twice in recent activity, signaling sustained demand through its three-year supply contracts for industrial pipe and fittings commencing December 2026.

Recent activity clusters in the Southeast and Southwest, with active solicitations in Georgia (DeKalb, Calhoun, Augusta, and Douglasville), Arizona (Phoenix), Florida (Sarasota and Palm Bay), and California (Santa Clara County). The City of Phoenix issued IFB 27-SW-0447 on September 30, 2026, for industrial pipe, miscellaneous fittings, and equipment on an as-needed basis with a three-year initial term plus two optional one-year extensions, requiring 24- to 48-hour delivery, local inventory maintenance, and DBE-N compliance for Phoenix Aviation Department operations at three airports. The City of Augusta, Georgia solicited ITB 27-116 with bids due September 29, 2026, for various HDPE pipe, couplings, and end sections in diameters from 8 to 36 inches for down-drain installation and maintenance, subject to Georgia MWBE and local-bidder preference requirements and a one-year contract term with four optional one-year renewals. The Douglasville-Douglas County Water and Sewer Authority issued IFB 327 with bids due October 7, 2026, for pipe fittings, concrete materials, valves, manhole products, and related inventory materials on an as-needed basis for a one-year term commencing December 20, 2026. Responses to recent solicitations demonstrate demand for commodity-grade pipe supply with firm fixed pricing over multiyear terms, rapid delivery capability, and compliance with local small-business and disadvantaged-enterprise programs.
