UNSPSC 40171518: Commercial CPVC pipe

Pipe with a pressure rating of 2500 psi or less made of schedule 80 CPVC plastic

UNSPSC 40171518 Commercial CPVC pipe is a Commodity code that state and local governments use to procure thermoplastic pipe products for water, sewer, and stormwater infrastructure projects. Recent solicitations under and adjacent to this code show public agencies buying HDPE pipe, PVC pipe, reinforced concrete pipe (RCP), corrugated metal pipe, ductile iron pipe, and copper service lines for distribution system upgrades, service line replacements, waterline extensions, and outfall replacements. The issuing bodies span water utilities (municipal water departments, water authorities), county and city public works and engineering departments, and regional water and sewer authorities across the South, Mid-Atlantic, and parts of the West. Contract structures include annual requirements contracts with firm pricing and delivery commitments, multi-year supply agreements with optional renewal periods, and project-specific installation and material procurements tied to capital infrastructure programs. Water system improvements and service line replacement drive much of the current activity, reflecting aging infrastructure replacement cycles and federally funded water infrastructure grants under the American Rescue Plan Act.

Geographic spread of recent activity concentrates in Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, Texas, Connecticut, and Massachusetts, with scattered procurement in California, Arizona, and New York. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Arlington Water Utilities Department (May 7, 2026, Solicitation 26-0226) soliciting an annual requirements contract for High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) water pipe on an F.O.B. Delivered basis with firm pricing for one year plus two optional one-year renewals and delivery within specified timeframes; Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners (April 16, 2026, Solicitation BL079-26) issuing a four-year annual contract for reinforced circular concrete pipe, HDPE pipe, and corrugated metal pipe for stormwater infrastructure with delivery required within fourteen days of order; the City of Phoenix Public Works Department (July 8, 2026, Invitation for Bid 26-SW-0379) seeking three-year supply of HDPE and PVC pipe ranging from 0.75 to 24 inches in diameter with 24- to 48-hour delivery and local inventory requirements, due August 12, 2026; and Beaufort-Jasper Water & Sewer Authority in South Carolina (April 28, 2026, Invitation for Bids CIP-2411) requesting installation of eight-inch and four-inch water mains, fire hydrants, and associated appurtenances on St. Helena Island with substantial completion by December 31, 2026. Pricing is typically quoted as a percentage discount from manufacturer price lists or on an F.O.B. destination basis with firm and fixed terms for the contract period, and many solicitations impose delivery windows and local inventory or stocking requirements to support emergency response and operational continuity.
