UNSPSC 40175202: Carbon steel pipe wye

Pipe wye made of carbon steel

UNSPSC 40175202 Carbon steel pipe wye is a Commodity code covering pipe fittings and related components used in water and utility infrastructure projects. State and local governments procure carbon steel and ductile iron pipe, tees, wyes, bends, caps, and mechanical joint components primarily through term contracts and project-specific orders for water system maintenance, rehabilitation, and new construction. Issuing bodies include county utilities departments, municipal water authorities, and county boards of commissioners. The recent solicitation activity shows a mix of pre-qualified vendor arrangements with standing term contracts and project-specific ITBs where pipe and fittings are bundled within larger pavement or utility construction scopes.

Recent opportunities demonstrate the breadth of issuing bodies and geographic spread. Palm Beach County Board of County Commissioners posted a pre-qualification solicitation (RPQ68026035BB11, due May 4, 2031) for ductile iron pipe and fittings ranging 4 to 24 inches in diameter under a term contract, with a 5% local preference for Palm Beach County businesses and firm pricing valid for ten days. Franklin County, Georgia Board of Commissioners issued an ITB (PE77589NONST2026000000005, due March 24, 2026) for water system improvements including new pumps and associated piping at a booster station, requiring Georgia State Utility Contractor licenses and Utility Manager certification. Santa Clara County's Central Expressway Pavement Rehabilitation ITB (ITBRDAFY260694, due May 21, 2026) included removal and replacement of pavement markings, guardrail systems, and traffic infrastructure but did not explicitly isolate pipe or fittings procurement. Activity clusters in Florida, California, and Georgia, with term-contract and project-specific ITB/RFQ notice types predominating.
