UNSPSC 40175102: Forged steel pipe weldolet

Pipe weldolet made of forged steel

UNSPSC 40175102 Forged steel pipe weldolet, a Commodity code, covers pipe fittings and weldable branch connections that state and local governments procure for water, sewer, stormwater, and industrial infrastructure projects. Recent state and local solicitations show purchasing concentrated on HDPE and PVC pipe systems with fittings, couplings, and valve assemblies rather than forged steel weldolets specifically; the code's actual procurement activity diverges from its nominal category name. Water and sewer authorities dominate the issuing-body mix, alongside public works departments and sanitation districts in Arizona, Georgia, California, and Florida pursuing annual supply contracts and project-specific material bids on firm-fixed or as-needed bases. Buyers require 24- to 60-day delivery windows, local inventory availability, compliance with state material approval lists, and participation in small-business or disadvantaged-enterprise programs.

The City of Phoenix Public Works Department has posted two successive IFBs for industrial pipe, fittings, and equipment supply (IFB 27-SW-0447 due September 30, 2026, and IFB 26-SW-0379 closed August 12, 2026), each covering three-year terms with two optional one-year extensions and requiring DBE-neutral participation plans and 24- to 48-hour delivery from local inventory. The City of Augusta, Georgia issued ITB 27-116 for HDPE pipe, couplings, and end sections (due September 29, 2026) with MWBE and local-bidder preferences, while the Douglasville-Douglas County Water and Sewer Authority solicited annual water and sewer pipe fittings and related materials (IFB 327, due October 7, 2026). Santa Clara County's Sanitation District No. 2-3 included pipe, wyes, and fittings in a structural sewer-repair project (ITB due September 17, 2026), and the City of Sarasota specified approved pipe and fitting materials for water-main replacement (ITB 26-31JS, materials-only, deadline passed). Geographic activity spans Arizona, Georgia, California, and Florida, with Georgia and Florida showing the densest recent solicitation frequency. Forged steel weldolets appear in none of the recent postings; suppliers should verify code accuracy with state procurement offices before pursuing.
