UNSPSC 40175400: Pipe support

The four main functions of a pipe support are to anchor, guide, absorb shock, and support a specified load. Pipe supports used in high or low temperature applications may contain insulation materials. The overall design configuration of a pipe support assembly is dependent on the loading and operating conditions.

UNSPSC 40175400 Pipe support, a Class code, does not align with the actual work state and local governments are soliciting under this category designation. The recent opportunities tagged with this code involve water and wastewater infrastructure work — sewer force main design and permitting, water main replacement and installation, drainage improvements, utility relocations, and related construction services — none of which reflect the nominal scope of pipe support products or hardware. The code shows little relevant recent activity; the opportunities appear to be miscoded within state and local procurement systems.

The mix of issuing bodies includes county departments (Pasco County, Orange County, Collier County in Florida; Gwinnett County in Georgia; Marion County in Florida; Cherokee County Water and Sewerage Authority; Beaufort-Jasper Water & Sewer Authority in South Carolina), municipalities (City of Sandersville in Georgia; City of Lawrenceville in Georgia), and special-purpose districts (water authorities and drainage districts). Orange County, Florida appears most frequently with multiple solicitations for trail construction, drainage work, sidewalk improvements, and bridge replacement. Geographic activity concentrates in Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, and Texas. Representative recent opportunities include Orange County's Horizon West Trail — Phase 1A (Y26-754), an IFB for $5.657 million in multi-use trail and utility improvements due August 13, 2026; Pasco County's Sunlake Boulevard Sewer Force Main (RSQSV26079), an RFP for sewer force main design and permitting due August 11, 2026; and Collier County's Pine Ridge Road Corridor Improvements CEI Services (268674), an RFP for construction engineering and inspection on a $20 million road project due August 5, 2026.
