UNSPSC 40175203: Cast iron pipe wye

Pipe wye made of cast iron

UNSPSC 40175203 Cast iron pipe wye is a Commodity code covering replacement components for sanitary sewer infrastructure rehabilitation, specifically wye-shaped branch fittings used to connect service laterals to mainline sewer pipes. State and local governments procure these fittings as part of broader sewer system repair and replacement projects, where cast iron or PVC wyes redirect flow from mainline pipes to residential or commercial service connections. Sanitation districts and county water authorities are the primary issuing bodies under this code, acquiring wyes in incremental quantities tied to infrastructure rehabilitation phases and mainline extension work rather than through standalone pipe-and-fittings supply contracts.

The Santa Clara County Sanitation District No. 2-3 Structural Defect Repair Project Phase 2 (ITB ITBRDAFY270088, due September 17, 2026) represents the clearest recent example of active procurement under this code: the project specifies twenty-seven 4"×6" wyes, two 4"×8" wyes, and two 4"×10" wyes for service connection replacement as part of a sixty-five working-day sewer rehabilitation program in the unincorporated eastern foothills. A separate pre-qualification solicitation from Palm Beach County (RPQ 68026035BB11) for ductile iron pipe and fittings, open through May 4, 2031, covers a broader range of fittings but does not isolate wye quantities in its published summary. Activity under this code concentrates in California and Florida, driven by aging sewer infrastructure repair cycles in high-density or expanding service areas. The code sees episodic demand tied to district-level capital improvement phases rather than continuous volume procurement, making it a targeted opportunity for suppliers positioned to support specific infrastructure rehabilitation contracts rather than an entry point for ongoing blanket-supply arrangements.
