UNSPSC 40175301: Ammonia flanges

UNSPSC 40175301 Ammonia flanges, a Commodity code, shows minimal alignment with the recent state and local solicitations tagged under it. The code nominally describes ammonia-handling flanges, but the four most recent opportunities posted between February and May 2026 involve water infrastructure components: mechanical joint restraining devices for ductile iron and PVC pipe (Palm Beach County), standard Class 125 cast iron flanged fittings for municipal water systems (Tampa), water pipe and miscellaneous fittings including flanges, bushings, and couplings (Phoenix), and pavement rehabilitation with traffic and drainage improvements (Santa Clara County). Only the Tampa and Phoenix solicitations directly reference flanges or flange-type fittings, and both specify potable water, traffic, and stormwater applications rather than ammonia systems. State and local water utilities and public works departments drive the actual procurement activity under this code tag, but the mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the work being bought suggests the code is being used inconsistently or the tagging does not reflect the true commodity focus.

Recent opportunities originate in Florida (Palm Beach County and Tampa) and Arizona (Phoenix), with one California water infrastructure project (Santa Clara County). The Palm Beach County IFB #26-038/RR (due June 4, 2026) seeks mechanical joint restraining devices on a term contract, with an anticipated value of $200,000 over twelve months and a ten percent SBE price preference available. The Tampa RFQ 26-P-00152 (due February 25, 2026) solicits five line items of cast iron flanged fittings for city departments, with delivery within ten days and one-year contract term. The Phoenix Water Services Department IFB 260217 (due February 19, 2026) covers fifteen product groups including flanges, couplings, and pipe fittings for a five-year term commencing May 1, 2026, with DBE compliance required and no stated budget. The Santa Clara County ITB ITBRDAFY260694 (due May 21, 2026) is a pavement rehabilitation project and does not involve ammonia flanges. No recent ammonia-system procurement activity appears in the record.
