UNSPSC 40175206: Malleable iron pipe wye

Pipe wye made of malleable iron

UNSPSC 40175206 Malleable iron pipe wye, a Commodity code, covers cast-iron and ductile-iron fitting components used in municipal water and sanitary sewer infrastructure repair and extension projects. State and local governments procure these components as part of larger water-main and sewer-line rehabilitation efforts, typically bundled with pipe, manholes, and ancillary fittings. The issuing bodies are county sanitation districts, county public works departments, and county water authorities—all engaged in underground utility infrastructure maintenance and replacement work. Scope varies from single-project replacement of defective service-connection fittings in sewer mains to multi-year pre-qualified vendor arrangements supplying pipe and fittings on an as-needed, project-order basis.

Recent activity centers in California and Florida. Santa Clara County's Sanitation District No. 2-3 posted an IFB on August 26, 2026 (ITBRDAFY270088, due September 17, 2026) for the Structural Defect Repair Project Phase 2, which explicitly requires removal and replacement of twenty-seven 4"×6" wyes, two 4"×8" wyes, and two 4"×10" wyes as part of a sixty-five-working-day sewer mainline rehabilitation program in unincorporated Santa Clara County. Palm Beach County Board of County Commissioners posted a pre-qualification RFQ on July 1, 2026 (RPQ68026035BB11) for a term contract in ductile iron pipe and fittings, 4 to 24 inches in diameter, running through May 4, 2031, with a 5% local preference for Palm Beach County vendors and project-specific pricing quotes required on demand. Santa Clara County also solicited a broader pavement rehabilitation project (ITBRDAFY260694, due May 21, 2026), though that notice did not explicitly reference wye fittings. The code shows concentrated recent activity in California and Florida, with Santa Clara County appearing as a repeat buyer in sewer infrastructure rehabilitation.
