UNSPSC 40171519: Commercial ABS pipe

Pipe with a pressure rating of 2500 psi or less made of ABS plastic

UNSPSC 40171519 Commercial ABS pipe is a Commodity code covering plastic water and sewer service lines, fittings, and related piping materials that state and local water and utility authorities procure for system expansion, rehabilitation, and repair work. Recent solicitations show the code captures not only ABS but a broader range of plastic pipe products including HDPE, PVC, and polyethylene materials used in potable water distribution, stormwater management, and sanitary sewer collection; state and local buyers treat this code as encompassing the full suite of modern plastic piping alternatives. Water utility departments, county water and sewer authorities, and municipal public works divisions issue the bulk of recent opportunities under the code, often bundling pipe procurement with fittings, valves, and appurtenances as part of larger infrastructure replacement or capacity-expansion programs. Regional water authorities such as the Beaufort-Jasper Water & Sewer Authority in South Carolina and the Notla Water Authority in Georgia appear alongside city departments of water utilities (Arlington, Phoenix, Palm Bay) and county commissioners boards that oversee water and sewer infrastructure.
