UNSPSC 40175200: Pipe wyes

UNSPSC 40175200 Pipe wyes, a Class code, covers the supply of wye-shaped pipe fittings used in sanitary and water infrastructure projects. State and local governments procure wyes primarily as components within sewer rehabilitation, water main replacement, and service connection work — typically specified in conjunction with mainline pipe, manholes, and fittings as part of larger infrastructure capital projects. The issuing bodies soliciting under this code include county sanitation districts, county water departments, and county public works agencies. Wyes are not procured as standalone line items; they are bundled into infrastructure repair and replacement bids where contractors source the full range of pipe sizes and fitting types required by the project specifications.

Santa Clara County and its subordinate districts drive recent activity. The County Sanitation District No. 2-3 issued an ITB (ITBRDAFY270088) on August 26, 2026 with responses due September 17, 2026 for the Structural Defect Repair Project Phase 2, which explicitly calls for twenty-seven 4"×6" wyes, two 4"×8" wyes, and two 4"×10" wyes as part of sanitary sewer service connection replacement work in the unincorporated eastern foothills. Palm Beach County Board of County Commissioners posted a pre-qualification request (RPQ68026035BB11) on July 1, 2026 for ductile iron pipe and fittings including tees and other fittings under a five-year term contract extending through May 4, 2031, with ongoing vendor acceptance and a 5% local preference for Palm Beach County businesses. A Santa Clara County pavement rehabilitation bid (ITBRDAFY260694) posted April 29, 2026 with an May 21, 2026 deadline covers a broader scope and does not explicitly itemize wyes. The code shows activity concentrated in California and Florida, with Santa Clara County appearing as a repeat buyer of sewer infrastructure components.
