UNSPSC 31311506: Non metallic welded or brazed pipe assemblies

UNSPSC 31311506 Non metallic welded or brazed pipe assemblies (Commodity) encompasses the supply and installation of fabricated pipe assemblies—principally copper, PVC, HDPE, and polypropylene conduit and water/sewer mains—that state and local governments procure for utility infrastructure repair, replacement, and expansion. Recent state and local opportunities show concrete demand: copper water service replacement (Town of Waterford, Connecticut, IFB replacing plastic services with Type K copper tubing); industrial pipe and fitting supply contracts (City of Phoenix Public Works, three-year requirements contract for HDPE and PVC pipe ranging 0.75 to 24 inches diameter); PVC sewer and stormwater pipe supply (DeKalb County, Georgia, three-year multiyear ITB; Gwinnett County, Georgia, PVC-coated metal conduits); and corrugated polypropylene pipe (Kentucky Transportation Cabinet, federally funded master agreement requiring Buy America/BABA compliance). Issuing bodies span municipal water and sewer utilities, county departments of water resources, public works departments, transportation cabinets, and special-purpose water authorities; repeat buyers include Barnwell County, South Carolina (waterline replacements), DeKalb and Gwinnett counties in Georgia (pipe and conduit supply), and the City of Phoenix (recurring three-year supply agreements). Work is solicited across Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, and Kentucky, with the most recent density in Georgia (multiple county and municipal water utilities) and Florida (outfall replacement and stormwater infrastructure).

Representative recent opportunities include the Town of Waterford Utility Commission (IFB 26-014, sealed bids due November 12, 2026, replacing plastic water services with 1- and 2-inch copper tubing on Rope Ferry Road, Connecticut prevailing wage and 25% state-funded small/minority business set-aside required); City of Phoenix Public Works (IFB 27-SW-0447, sealed offers due September 30, 2026, three-year supply of HDPE pipe 1.5 to 24 inches, PVC pipe 0.75 to 4 inches, and fittings for Phoenix Sky Harbor and other airports, subject to DBE-Neutral and FAA compliance); DeKalb County, Georgia (ITB 2026-118, proposals due October 7, 2026, three-year PVC sewer pipe and fittings supply for as-needed wastewater and storm drainage maintenance); and Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (RFB 605 2700000122, bids due October 2, 2026, corrugated polypropylene pipe 12 to 60 inches diameter, federally funded, Buy America/BABA manufacturing requirements, master agreement through September 30, 2027 with four optional one-year renewals). Most recent opportunities cluster in September–November 2026, signaling active fall procurement cycles for municipal utility capital and as-needed supply contracts.
