UNSPSC 40175304: Pipe connection boxes

A housing to protect pipes at their connection points.

UNSPSC 40175304 Pipe connection boxes is a Commodity code capturing state and local procurement of industrial piping materials, fittings, and appurtenances for water, sewer, stormwater, and general infrastructure maintenance on an as-needed or project basis. The code encompasses HDPE and PVC pipe in multiple diameters, couplings, elbows, wyes, tees, gate valves, quick insertion valves, fire hydrants, and related fittings and connection assemblies. Recent solicitations reveal that state and local buyers treat this code as a broad procurement vehicle for recurring inventory replenishment and capital project material supply, with contracts typically structured as one-to-three-year standing supply agreements or project-specific material bids. Cities, counties, and special-purpose water and sewer authorities dominate the issuing-body mix; the City of Phoenix Public Works Department and Douglasville-Douglas County Water and Sewer Authority appear twice in the recent record.

Activity is concentrated in Georgia and Arizona, with secondary representation in Florida and California. The City of Phoenix issued IFB27SW0447 (due September 30, 2026) for industrial pipe, miscellaneous fittings, and equipment on a three-year initial term with two one-year options, requiring 24–48-hour delivery and local inventory maintenance. The City of Augusta, Georgia posted ITB 27-116 (due September 29, 2026) for various HDPE pipe, coupling, and end sections for down-drain installation and maintenance under a one-year contract with four optional one-year renewals. The Douglasville-Douglas County Water and Sewer Authority solicited IFB 327 (due October 7, 2026) for annual water and sewer pipe fittings and related inventory materials on an as-needed basis. Sanitation District No. 2-3 in Santa Clara County, California issued an ITB (due September 17, 2026) for structural defect repair work specifying removal and replacement of vitrified clay and cast-iron pipe with PVC SDR26 and HDPE pipe across six-, eight-, and ten-inch diameters. The County of DeKalb, Georgia solicited ITB 2026-034 (due August 27, 2026) for quick insertion valves, tapping sleeves, resilient wedge insert gate valves, and valve insertion equipment under a three-year multiyear contract. DBE or MBE participation goals and local-vendor preferences appear in several Georgia and Florida solicitations; FAA Grant Assurances and security compliance apply to City of Phoenix aviation-related work.
