UNSPSC 40183202: Iron pierced tube

Iron pierced tube

UNSPSC 40183202 Iron pierced tube is a Commodity code that covers piping materials and fittings used in municipal water, sewer, and stormwater infrastructure projects. State and local governments procure under this code primarily ductile iron pipe, PVC pipe, mechanical joint and flanged fittings, valves, hydrants, and related appurtenances for water main replacements, outfall pipe rehabilitation, treatment plant upgrades, and emergency infrastructure repairs. Issuing bodies include city public works departments, utility authorities, county water resources divisions, and special-district infrastructure agencies. Recent solicitations show a mix of as-needed supply contracts with firm pricing and three-year terms, materials-only bids for specific capital projects, and RFIs preceding formal procurements. The City of Phoenix Public Works Department, City of Sarasota Utilities, Orange County (Florida) Utilities Division, and Gwinnett County Department of Water Resources appear as repeat buyers in the recent block.

The code sees concentrated recent activity in Florida and Georgia. Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Public Works IFB for industrial pipe, fittings, and equipment (response due August 12, 2026) covering HDPE and PVC pipe, elbows, couplings, and hand tools with a three-year term and two optional one-year extensions; the City of Sarasota ITB for pipe, fittings, and appurtenances for the Small AC Water Main Replacement project (deadline passed June 16, 2026) restricting materials to the City's Potable Water Approved Material List with ninety-day delivery; the City of Calhoun, Georgia sealed bid for water main relocation materials (response due June 18, 2026) including ductile iron mains in multiple sizes and mechanical joint fittings for approximately 3,740 feet of installation; and Orange County, Florida's IFB for sewer pipes and fittings (response due January 22, 2026) covering 56 line items with an estimated five-year spending total of approximately $28.7 million and a Service Disabled Veteran Business preference. Gwinnett County's informal written quotation for ductile iron pipe nipples with PE DIP coating (April 23, 2026 deadline) and the City of Palm Bay's I-95 Outfall Pipe Replacement bid (July 14, 2026) demonstrate steady demand for replacement and rehabilitation work. Most recent solicitations require compliance with American Iron and Steel provisions, Buy American Act requirements, or prevailing wage standards when federally funded.
