UNSPSC 40175206: Malleable iron pipe wye

Pipe wye made of malleable iron

UNSPSC 40175206 Malleable iron pipe wye is a Commodity code that encompasses ductile and malleable iron pipe fittings—including tees, wyes, bends, caps, and mechanical joint components—that state and local water and utility systems procure for distribution infrastructure. The code attracts solicitations from county water authorities, municipalities, and special-purpose districts managing potable water systems. Recent opportunities show that jurisdictions are sourcing these fittings as components within broader water main rehabilitation, booster station upgrades, and term-contract pre-qualification arrangements rather than as isolated commodity purchases. Vendors must typically meet American Water Works Association (AWWA) and ANSI standards, deliver new merchandise free from defects, and comply with state-specific licensing and registration requirements.

Recent activity spans Florida, Georgia, and California. Palm Beach County Board of County Commissioners posted a pre-qualification RFQ (RPQ68026035BB11, due May 4, 2031) for ductile iron pipe and fittings from 4 to 24 inches in diameter with a 5% local preference for Palm Beach County businesses and firm pricing valid for ten days; Franklin County, Georgia issued an ITB (PE77589NONST2026000000005, due March 24, 2026) for a booster pump station renovation that included furnishing and installation of piping and appurtenances as part of a broader utility upgrade; Santa Clara County, California solicited bids for the Central Expressway Pavement Rehabilitation Project (ITBRDAFY260694, due May 21, 2026) which, while nominally tagged to this code, centered on pavement work and does not represent typical activity under the commodity. The Palm Beach and Franklin County opportunities are representative of how malleable and ductile iron fittings move through state and local procurement as component parts within water infrastructure projects.
