UNSPSC 40141719: Plumbing adapters

UNSPSC 40141719 Plumbing adapters is a Commodity code capturing the acquisition of engineered pipe connectors and coupling devices that state and local water utilities purchase for distribution system maintenance, upgrade, and extension work. Recent solicitations show demand for specific adapter types—MJS adapters with gaskets and diapers, bell and spigot configurations, and bell-and-spigot conversion assemblies—ordered as discrete components in small quantities or as line items within broader water infrastructure contracts. Issuing bodies include county water departments and municipalities procuring adapters for departmental operations, as well as state agencies undertaking capital water improvement projects. Gwinnett County Department of Water Resources and the City of Phoenix Water Services Department appear in the recent record, each seeking adapters and related fittings through routine purchasing channels—the Gwinnett County purchase specified three Bell X and three Spigot X adapters as an informal written quotation; Phoenix's five-year water pipe and miscellaneous fittings contract includes adapters and conversion assemblies as component line items alongside bushings, couplings, elbows, and reducers. The Maryland Environmental Service procured water main upgrade and extension work at Janes Island State Park with an MBE participation goal of 13%, indicating that plumbing adapters may be bundled into larger capital projects managed by state departments.

Geographic activity centers in Georgia and Arizona based on recent postings, with additional demand visible in Maryland and Florida. The Gwinnett County quotation for MJS adapters closed June 15, 2026, with delivery FOB destination to the County Department of Water Resources' central facility in Lawrenceville, Georgia; the City of Phoenix issued an IFB for a five-year water pipe and miscellaneous fittings contract with an effective date of May 1, 2026, requiring bidders to maintain local inventory and provide next-day delivery on captive parts. The Maryland Environmental Service project at Janes Island State Park, posted July 9, 2026, with bids due August 10, 2026, bundles plumbing work into a water main upgrade; the City of Tampa's single-source Parker Instrumentation Products wastewater services procurement, issued April 14, 2026, suggests that some municipalities procure instrumentation-grade fittings and adapters through manufacturer-authorized distributors rather than commodity channels.
