UNSPSC 40175304: Pipe connection boxes

A housing to protect pipes at their connection points.

UNSPSC 40175304 Pipe connection boxes is a Commodity code that encompasses industrial and municipal water, sewer, and stormwater piping systems, fittings, valves, and related appurtenances supplied on an as-needed or project basis to state and local water utilities, public works departments, and transit authorities. Recent state and local opportunities under this code reveal that jurisdictions procure fabricated pipe assemblies, pressure and non-pressure fittings, gate valves, fire hydrants, check valves, mechanical joint assemblies, and specialized connection hardware—often as materials-only line-item bids for infrastructure replacement projects or standing supply agreements. The City of Phoenix Public Works Department is soliciting sealed offers for industrial pipe including HDPE and PVC pipe ranging from 0.75 to 24 inches in diameter along with elbows, couplings, and hand tools under IFB 26-SW-0379, with offers due August 12, 2026, and a three-year term commencing December 1, 2026. The City of Sarasota issued ITB #26-31JS for pipe, fittings, and appurtenances conforming to its Potable Water Approved Material List for the Small AC Water Main Replacement-FY24 project with a June 16, 2026 deadline. Issuing bodies under this code include cities (Phoenix, Sarasota, Palm Bay, Calhoun, Dallas, Lavonia), counties (Orange County, Gwinnett County, Santa Clara County), and special-purpose water and transit authorities, reflecting a mix of routine maintenance procurement and project-driven materials sourcing.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida, Georgia, California, and Texas. The City of Palm Bay issued Bid #XX-ITB-25 on the I-95 Outfall Pipe Replacement project with a July 14, 2026 response date and an estimated cost of $6,202,246.05, while Orange County, Florida posted Invitation for Bids Y26-126 for sewer pipes and fittings on a five-year, approximately $28.7 million estimated-value contract with a response deadline of January 22, 2026. The City of Calhoun, Georgia requested sealed bids for water main relocation materials—ductile iron pipe in multiple sizes, PVC piping, mechanical joint fittings, gate valves, fire hydrants, and related components—with a June 18, 2026 deadline and approximately 3,740 linear feet of primary installation scope. Gwinnett County Department of Water Resources issued Informal Written Quotation 128859 for ductile iron pipe nipples with polyethylene coating in flange-connection configurations with an April 23, 2026 deadline. The City of Dallas posted competitive bids under BC26-00029678 to establish a three-year ID/IQ master agreement for fire hydrant backflow preventers meeting AWWA C511 and NSF Standards with a March 27, 2026 deadline and $100 bid security. Opportunities range from small quotations for specialized fittings to multi-million-dollar materials supply agreements; DBE and local-preference programs appear selectively in larger municipal procurements, and many solicitations emphasize firm pricing, delivery performance guarantees, and compliance with state drinking-water or environmental-permitting standards.
