UNSPSC 31311206: Non metallic riveted pipe assemblies

UNSPSC 31311206 Non metallic riveted pipe assemblies, a Commodity code, describes materials and assemblies used in water and wastewater infrastructure systems that state and local governments procure primarily for utility line installation and replacement projects. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers purchasing non-metallic pipe products—particularly high-density polyethylene (HDPE), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), and reinforced concrete pipe (RCP)—along with associated fittings, valves, hydrants, and installation services. These materials are being acquired on supply contracts, cooperative purchasing agreements, and as components within construction projects for water main extensions, waterline replacements, sewer system upgrades, outfall pipe replacements, and grinder station conversions. Issuing bodies include city utilities departments (Phoenix, Arlington, Palm Bay), county water and sewer authorities (Barnwell County, Gwinnett County, Bryan County, Beaufort-Jasper Water & Sewer Authority), regional special-purpose districts (Notla Water Authority), and smaller municipalities (Hogansville, Cairo, Lavonia). Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast and Southwest, with recent opportunities posted from Florida (Orange County, Palm Bay), Georgia (Gwinnett County, Bryan County, Lavonia, Cairo, Hogansville), South Carolina (Barnwell County, Beaufort-Jasper), and Arizona (Phoenix), supplemented by isolated activity in Connecticut, Massachusetts, and California.

Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Public Works Department's IFB 26-SW-0379 (posted July 8, 2026, due August 12, 2026) for supply of HDPE and PVC pipe with fittings and hand tools on an as-needed three-year contract with two one-year options, requiring 24- to 48-hour delivery and local inventory maintenance under DBE-N compliance; Barnwell County's 2027IFB001 (posted July 6, 2026, due August 4, 2026) for waterline replacement and installation of approximately 1,950 linear feet of eight-inch and four-inch water mains with isolation valves and five tie-ins along Heyward Street; and Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' BL079-26 (posted April 16, 2026, due May 19, 2026) for annual purchase of stormwater pipe encompassing reinforced concrete pipe, HDPE, and corrugated metal pipe in multiple sizes and configurations. The City of Arlington Water Utilities Department's annual requirements contract for HDPE water pipe (Solicitation 26-0226, posted May 7, 2026, due May 21, 2026) illustrates municipal pipeline maintenance and expansion demand, specifying PE4710 pipe meeting ANSI/AWWA C906 and NSF 61 standards across five diameter and pressure rating combinations totaling up to 49,000 linear feet annually. Most solicitations require firm-fixed pricing on an F.O.B. destination basis and impose stringent delivery windows (24–48 hours), with contract terms of one to five years and optional renewals at the buyer's discretion.
