UNSPSC 40141720: Plumbing connectors

UNSPSC 40141720 Plumbing connectors, a Commodity code, describes specialized piping and electrical connectors procured by state and local governments for infrastructure projects, water systems, and transit operations. The recent solicitations tagged to this code show significant geographic and functional diversity but limited thematic coherence — the work spans water main construction, pavement rehabilitation, wastewater instrumentation, and transit electrical components rather than representing a unified product category. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under the code include state environmental agencies (Maryland Environmental Service), county public works departments (Santa Clara County), cities (Tampa), and transit authorities (Dallas Area Rapid Transit Authority). The code sees activity across multiple jurisdictions with no dominant repeat buyer pattern in the recent record.

Recent opportunities include the Maryland Environmental Service's sealed-bid RFQ for water main upgrade and extension work at Janes Island State Park with an August 10, 2026 response date and a 13% MBE participation goal; Santa Clara County's IFB for the Central Expressway Pavement Rehabilitation Project between Bowers Avenue and Scott Boulevard with a May 21, 2026 deadline and a 142 working-day completion timeline; the City of Tampa's intent to single source Parker Instrumentation Products for wastewater services with an April 9, 2026 response date; and the Dallas Area Rapid Transit Authority's purchase order for a Connector, KJ, 1/0 motor leads component with a January 30, 2026 deadline. Geographic activity is distributed across Maryland, California, Florida, and Texas. The code shows low recent volume and appears to capture opportunities that are tagged inconsistently — the water main and pavement projects involve plumbing and infrastructure connectors, while the Parker instrumentation and DART electrical connector solicitations represent different product lines that may be miscoded under this Commodity classification.
