UNSPSC 13111076: Cross linked polyethylene PEX

A form of polyethylene with cross-links. It is formed into tubing, and is used predominantly in hydronic radiant heating systems, domestic water piping and insulation for high tension electrical cables.

UNSPSC 13111076 Cross linked polyethylene PEX, a Commodity-tier code, covers flexible tubing and piping material for water distribution, heating, cooling, and radiant systems in state and local facility construction and maintenance work. State and local governments procure this material as a component in new building construction, renovation of existing infrastructure, and replacement of aging potable water and hydronic heating systems. The code spans municipalities, counties, state facility agencies, and independent school districts that manage campus water and HVAC infrastructure. The issuing bodies are typically purchasing departments acting on behalf of public works or facilities management divisions that oversee water distribution networks and mechanical systems.

No recent state and local contract opportunities under UNSPSC 13111076 appear in the available records. The code shows no posted RFP, RFQ, IFB, or ITQ activity with disclosed response dates, issuing bodies, or geographic markers that would support a market characterization. This absence may reflect that PEX tubing is frequently procured as a line item within broader construction or facilities maintenance contracts coded at a higher UNSPSC tier—such as plumbing system installation or water main replacement—rather than as a standalone commodity acquisition. Firms pursuing this material supply should monitor construction and facilities RFPs issued by state capitals, county public works departments, and large school districts, and track cooperative purchasing agreements through state procurement consortia.
