UNSPSC 31311706: Non metallic bonded pipe assemblies

UNSPSC 31311706 Non metallic bonded pipe assemblies (Commodity) covers plastic and composite piping materials—primarily HDPE, PVC, and fiberglass-reinforced polymer (FRPM) pipe in sizes ranging from under one inch to 60 inches—that state and local water utilities, public works departments, and environmental agencies procure for sewer replacement, stormwater infrastructure, drainage outfall restoration, and routine water system maintenance. Recent solicitations show municipal water departments buying these materials on both as-needed supply contracts and project-specific bases, with work spanning pipe supply alone through full system replacement including site restoration and environmental compliance. Issuing bodies include city public works and water utilities departments (Phoenix, Palm Bay, Dallas, Orange County), county water authorities (Clayton County Water Authority in Georgia), and county infrastructure agencies (Orange County, Santa Clara County). Water utilities represent the dominant buyer category, followed by public works departments managing stormwater and outfall systems.

Activity concentrates in Florida, California, Texas, and Georgia, with the most recent opportunities posted between late April and early August 2026. The City of Phoenix Public Works Department issued IFB 26-SW-0379 on July 8, 2026 for HDPE and PVC pipe supply on a three-year as-needed contract with delivery due August 12, 2026; the City of Palm Bay, Florida solicited bids for I-95 Outfall Pipe Replacement (ITB 41ITB26) with work due July 14, 2026, encompassing full outfall pipe replacement under environmental permits; and Orange County, Florida posted a five-year sewer pipes and fittings solicitation (Y26-126, response deadline January 22, 2026 as extended) valued at approximately $28.7 million estimated five-year spend. The Clayton County Water Authority issued a sole source notice for $6.07 million in FRPM pipe procurement (Hobas Pipe USA, deadline May 13, 2026). The City of Palm Bay also conducted a pre-solicitation RFI in May 2026 on stormwater pipe rehabilitation solutions for the Malabar Road corridor to inform future formal procurement and design approaches.
