UNSPSC 40183102: Tube tee

UNSPSC 40183102 Tube tee, a Commodity code, names pipe fittings and tee connectors that state and local water utilities and public works departments procure as components of water main, stormwater, and sewer system construction and rehabilitation projects. Recent opportunities show municipalities sourcing tube tees—and related fittings such as elbows, couplings, and mechanical joint components—as part of larger materials packages for potable water systems, outfall replacements, and emergency infrastructure work, typically on firm-fixed-price, as-needed supply agreements running one to five years.

Issuing bodies span mid-sized and large Florida cities (Phoenix, Sarasota, Palm Bay, Orange County), Georgia municipalities (Calhoun, Lavonia, Gwinnett County), and counties in Texas and California. The City of Phoenix Public Works Department has issued a three-year as-needed materials contract (IFB26SW0379, due August 12, 2026) covering industrial pipe, fittings, and related supplies with local inventory and 24–48 hour delivery requirements; the City of Sarasota requested materials-only bids for potable water main replacement (ITB #26-31JS, bid due June 16, 2026) specifying fittings sourced from an approved manufacturers list; Gwinnett County Water Resources issued an informal quotation (IWQ 128859, due April 23, 2026) for ductile iron pipe nipples with flanged connections; and Orange County, Florida procured sewer pipes and fittings (Y26-126, due January 22, 2026) with an estimated five-year spending total of approximately $28.7 million on a percentage-discount-from-MSRP basis. Geographic activity clusters in Florida and Georgia; secondary activity appears in California (Santa Clara County) and Texas (City of Dallas). Most recent opportunities are concentrated in the Southeast, with Florida and Georgia accounting for the majority of posted solicitations in the past three months.
