UNSPSC 40175201: Brass pipe wye

Pipe wye made of brass

UNSPSC 40175201 Brass pipe wye, a Commodity code, covers replacement and repair fittings for sanitary sewer and water infrastructure systems that state and local jurisdictions purchase during mainline rehabilitation and extension projects. State and local governments buy these fittings as components in larger sewer and water distribution system upgrades—not as standalone inventory items but as line items within comprehensive pipeline replacement, pipe-burst, and service connection work. Santa Clara County Sanitation District No. 2-3 recently solicited bids for thirty-one brass wyes (4"×6", 4"×8", and 4"×10" sizes) as part of its Structural Defect Repair Project Phase 2, an ITB issued August 26, 2026 with a September 17, 2026 deadline, replacing vitrified clay pipe and cast iron mainline with PVC and HDPE. The issuing bodies are primarily county sanitation districts and county water departments managing capital rehabilitation programs in their service areas.

Recent activity appears concentrated in California, where Santa Clara County has posted multiple infrastructure solicitations in 2026. The code shows limited breadth across jurisdictions in the available opportunities—the single directly relevant solicitation comes from Santa Clara County Sanitation District No. 2-3. Palm Beach County's July 1, 2026 pre-qualification posting for ductile iron pipe and fittings (RPQ 68026035BB11, with acceptance continuing through May 4, 2031) covers a broader diameter range and different material, indicating that similar fittings procurement occurs in Florida but under different commodity codes. The brass wye code itself has not generated widespread recent visibility across multiple states or issuing bodies in the available record, suggesting either narrow application or consolidation into broader pipe-and-fitting family codes by larger procurement offices.
