UNSPSC 40175200: Pipe wyes

UNSPSC 40175200 Pipe wyes, a Class code, covers ductile iron pipe fittings and related components that state and local water utilities and counties procure for water system construction, rehabilitation, and maintenance. The code captures pre-qualification and term-contract arrangements for pipe fittings (bends, tees, caps, mechanical joint components) meeting American Water Works Association standards, as well as spot purchases for specific infrastructure projects. Issuing bodies range from county water authorities and county commissioners' offices to regional transit and infrastructure departments; recent activity shows county-level water procurement dominating the mix, with repeat buyers in counties managing water distribution systems.

Recent solicitations reflect steady procurement of ductile iron pipe and fittings across multiple states. Palm Beach County Board of County Commissioners posted a pre-qualification contract (RPQ68026035BB11, due May 4, 2031) for ductile iron pipe and fittings ranging from 4 to 24 inches in diameter with a 5% local preference for Palm Beach County vendors and firm pricing valid for ten days. Franklin County, Georgia issued an ITB (PE77589NONST2026000000005, due March 24, 2026) for water system improvements including booster pump station renovation with new pumps and associated piping and instrumentation. Santa Clara County, California posted a pavement rehabilitation project (ITBRDAFY260694, due May 21, 2026) that includes scope elements potentially encompassing drainage and related pipe work as part of comprehensive roadway improvements. Activity is concentrated in Florida and Georgia with California representation, reflecting ongoing water infrastructure and utility system investment across state and local jurisdictions.
