UNSPSC 40183101: Tube elbow

UNSPSC 40183101 Tube elbow, a Commodity code, covers pipe elbows and related fittings supplied to state and local water, wastewater, and infrastructure agencies on an as-needed or project basis. Recent solicitations show state and local governments procuring tube elbows as components within larger material packages for water main replacement, stormwater and sewer system work, and industrial pipe supply contracts. The City of Phoenix Public Works Department is soliciting industrial pipe, miscellaneous fittings, and equipment including elbows and couplings under IFB 26-SW-0379 (offers due August 12, 2026) on a three-year as-needed supply contract with two optional one-year extensions, requiring 24- to 48-hour delivery and local inventory maintenance. The City of Sarasota issued ITB #26-31JS for materials-only bids covering pipe fittings selected from an approved materials list for the Small AC Water Main Replacement-FY24 project (deadline June 16, 2026, now closed). Issuers span cities, counties, and water utilities across Florida, Georgia, Arizona, and California, with both standalone material procurement and integration within larger capital projects.

Florida and Georgia dominate recent activity in this code, with Orange County, Florida issuing IFB Y26-126 for sewer pipes and fittings (deadline January 22, 2026) with an estimated five-year spending total of approximately $28.7 million and a Service Disabled Veteran Business preference applied, and Gwinnett County, Georgia issuing IWQ 128859 for ductile iron pipe nipples with polyethylene DIP coating in four sizes (deadline April 23, 2026). The City of Palm Bay, Florida posted an RFI on stormwater pipe rehabilitation and replacement along the Malabar Road corridor (response deadline June 9, 2026) as a pre-solicitation information-gathering phase. The City of Calhoun, Georgia solicited sealed bids for water main relocation materials including ductile iron water mains and PVC piping along S.R. 156/Red Bud Road (deadline June 18, 2026), with quantities of over 3,000 linear feet for primary installations. Opportunities in this code are typically structured as fixed-price supply agreements, materials-only bids, or component procurement within broader capital projects, with firm pricing required for multi-year terms and delivery commitments ranging from 24 hours for emergency needs to 90 days for standard orders.
