UNSPSC 31311706: Non metallic bonded pipe assemblies

UNSPSC 31311706 Non metallic bonded pipe assemblies (Commodity) covers the supply of plastic piping systems and associated fittings — primarily High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE), Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC), concrete, and fiberglass-reinforced polymer mortar (FRPM) pipe — that state and local governments procure for stormwater management, municipal water systems, airport operations, and drainage infrastructure. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers ordering pipe in diameters ranging from 0.75 inches to 66 inches, along with couplings, elbows, flared ends, and supplementary fittings, typically on as-needed or annual requirements contracts with firm-fixed or per-unit pricing. Issuing bodies include municipal public works departments, county commissioners' offices, water authorities, and airport authorities; the City of Phoenix Public Works Department has posted multiple solicitations under this code in recent months, signaling repeat procurement activity. Contracts commonly carry multi-year initial terms (three years is standard) with optional one-year renewals, and many impose DBE-Neutral participation plans, Small Business Participation Plans, E-Verify compliance, and local-bidder preferences where applicable.
