UNSPSC 40175201: Brass pipe wye

Pipe wye made of brass

UNSPSC 40175201 Brass pipe wye, a Commodity code, covers pipe fittings and related plumbing components that state and local governments purchase for water, wastewater, and utility infrastructure projects. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers acquiring ductile iron pipe fittings (bends, tees, caps, and mechanical joint components) meeting American Water Works Association (AWWA) standards, typically as part of broader water system improvements or term supply agreements. The issuing bodies span county water authorities, county commissioners, and specialized water districts; Palm Beach County Board of County Commissioners and Franklin County, Georgia Board of Commissioners appear as recent active buyers. Work under this code ranges from pre-qualified vendor arrangements for as-needed supply delivery to project-specific procurement tied to capital infrastructure renovation.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida and Georgia. Palm Beach County is seeking pre-qualified vendors for ductile iron pipe and fittings under RPQ 26-035/BB, a term contract through May 4, 2031, with initial pre-qualification applications due April 9, 2026 and continuing vendor enrollment thereafter; a 5% local preference applies to Palm Beach County businesses, and all products must meet AWWA standards and be delivered on a project-specific basis with firm pricing valid for ten days from submittal. Franklin County, Georgia issued an ITB for water system improvements focused on a booster pump station renovation (PE77589NONST2026000000005) due March 24, 2026, requiring furnishing and installation of pumps and related piping and appurtenances; qualified bidders must hold a valid Georgia Utility Contractor license and employ a certified Utility Manager, with five percent bid bonds and one hundred percent performance and payment bonds required. The code shows limited recent posting volume; most solicitations tagged with this code appear to reflect broader infrastructure or supply categories rather than discrete brass or ductile iron wye procurement at the Commodity level.
