UNSPSC 40183201: Iron bent tube

Iron bent tube

UNSPSC 40183201 Iron bent tube (Commodity) covers industrial and municipal piping components—principally ductile iron pipe, PVC pipe, and fittings such as elbows, couplings, and nipples—that state and local governments procure for water main replacement, stormwater infrastructure, and related utility construction. Recent solicitations show municipalities and county water utilities sourcing these materials as supply-only line items or as part of larger project procurements, with emphasis on compliance with approved material lists, manufacturer standards (ANSI, AWWA), and domestic sourcing where federal funding is involved. Issuing bodies include city water and utilities departments (Phoenix, Sarasota, Lavonia, Calhoun, Palm Bay) and county water resources divisions (Gwinnett, Orange County), alongside general-purpose construction authorities managing drainage and bridge infrastructure. The code captures both routine materials-only bids for planned upgrades and emergency procurement for infrastructure failure response.

Recent activity clusters in Florida, Georgia, and Arizona.
