UNSPSC 40175203: Cast iron pipe wye

Pipe wye made of cast iron

UNSPSC 40175203 Cast iron pipe wye is a Commodity code covering ductile iron pipe fittings — including wyes, tees, bends, caps, and mechanical joint components — that state and local water utilities, counties, and municipalities procure for water distribution system construction, rehabilitation, and maintenance. The scope encompasses fittings that meet American Water Works Association (AWWA) standards and range across multiple pipe diameters to support water main installations and system repairs. Purchasing entities include county water departments, special-purpose water authorities, and county-wide procurement offices, which typically acquire these items through pre-qualified vendor arrangements and term contracts with project-specific delivery orders rather than spot purchases. Vendors must maintain registration in state and local procurement systems, hold appropriate Florida business licensing where required, and comply with federal and state standards including ANSI and NFPA requirements.
