UNSPSC 40175204: Ductile iron pipe wye

Pipe wye made of ductile iron

UNSPSC 40175204 Ductile iron pipe wye (Commodity) covers the supply and delivery of ductile iron pipe fittings, including wyes, tees, bends, caps, and mechanical joint components used in water infrastructure projects. State and local governments procure these products primarily for water system maintenance, expansion, and rehabilitation work. Recent solicitations show counties and special districts buying ductile iron pipe and fittings as materials in broader water infrastructure contracts, though the wye component itself appears as part of larger fittings and appurtenances packages meeting American Water Works Association (AWWA) standards. Issuing bodies include county water departments and county boards of commissioners managing municipal water systems. Pipe diameters range from 4 inches to 24 inches in most solicitations, with products required to be new merchandise free from defects and compliant with ANSI and NFPA standards.

Geographic activity in recent months centers on Florida and Georgia. Palm Beach County Board of County Commissioners posted a pre-qualification RFQ (RPQ68026035BB11, due May 4, 2031) seeking multiple vendors to supply ductile iron pipe and fittings on a term contract basis with a 5% local preference for Palm Beach County businesses and project-specific, as-needed delivery. Franklin County, Georgia Board of Commissioners issued an ITB (PE77589NONST2026000000005, due March 24, 2026) for water system improvements that included furnishing and installing new pumps with piping and appurtenances as part of a booster pump station renovation. A Santa Clara County, California ITB (ITBRDAFY260694, due May 21, 2026) for Central Expressway pavement rehabilitation included associated utility work but focused primarily on roadway construction rather than water infrastructure. Pre-qualification and term-contract structures dominate recent activity, allowing counties to call off materials as projects develop.
