UNSPSC 40175204: Ductile iron pipe wye

Pipe wye made of ductile iron

UNSPSC 40175204 Ductile iron pipe wye, a Commodity code, covers replacement and service connection fittings used in sanitary sewer infrastructure projects. State and local governments buy ductile iron wyes primarily as components in sewer mainline rehabilitation and extension work, including point repairs, pipe bursting replacements, and new service laterals. The issuing bodies are sanitation districts and county water authorities that maintain and upgrade wastewater collection systems, with work performed by contractors under competitive bidding processes.

Recent opportunities center on California and Florida. Santa Clara County Sanitation District No. 2-3 issued an ITB (ITBRDAFY270088, due September 17, 2026) for a structural defect repair project that includes removal and replacement of twenty-seven 4"×6" wyes, two 4"×8" wyes, and two 4"×10" wyes as part of a broader sewer mainline rehabilitation program in the unincorporated eastern foothills. Palm Beach County Board of County Commissioners opened a pre-qualification contract (RPQ68026035BB11, term through May 4, 2031) for ductile iron pipe and fittings from 4 to 24 inches in diameter, including wyes and associated fittings to support project-specific delivery orders, with a 5% local preference for Palm Beach County vendors and compliance required with AWWA standards. The Santa Clara and Palm Beach opportunities reflect the code's primary use: planned infrastructure rehabilitation programs driven by aging sewer systems requiring systematic replacement of older pipe materials with ductile iron and modern alternatives.
