UNSPSC 40171618: Industrial CPVC pipe

Pipe with a pressure rating of more than 2500 psi made of schedule 80 CPVC plastic

UNSPSC 40171618 Industrial CPVC pipe is a Commodity code that spans state and local procurement of plastic and composite pipe materials for water, sewer, and stormwater infrastructure work. Recent opportunities show that the code is being applied inconsistently—some jurisdictions are soliciting PVC and CPVC materials explicitly (DeKalb County's PVC sewer pipes, City of Phoenix's PVC pipe supplies), while others tag opportunities involving copper waterline replacement, HDPE pipe, corrugated polypropylene, and galvanized pipe under this code despite their different material compositions. The scope actually being bought includes PVC sewer pipes on three-year multiyear contracts for wastewater and storm drainage maintenance; industrial pipe and fittings supplied on as-needed basis to municipal water and aviation departments; and PVC-coated metal conduit for electrical and infrastructure applications. Issuing bodies include county utility departments (DeKalb County, Gwinnett County), city public works and water utilities (Phoenix, Arlington, Augusta), regional water authorities (Beaufort-Jasper Water & Sewer Authority), and municipal utility commissions. Repeat buyers in the recent window include the City of Phoenix (two separate industrial-pipe supply RFQs in 2026) and the Town of Waterford Utility Commission (two copper waterline replacement IFBs), indicating sustained procurement cycles for water infrastructure materials and equipment.

The geographic spread is concentrated in the Southeast and Southwest. Georgia (DeKalb County, Gwinnett County, City of Augusta, City of Lavonia, Notla Water Authority, City of Grovetown) and Florida (Solid Waste Authority of Palm Beach County, City of Palm Bay, Orange County) represent the most recent activity, with secondary activity in South Carolina (Beaufort-Jasper Water & Sewer Authority, Barnwell County), Arizona (City of Phoenix), Texas (City of Southlake, City of Arlington), Connecticut (Town of Waterford), Kentucky (Kentucky Transportation Cabinet), and California (Santa Clara County). Representative recent opportunities include DeKalb County's ITB 2026-118 for PVC sewer pipes, fittings, and couplings on a three-year multiyear as-needed contract with bids due October 7, 2026, and the City of Phoenix's IFB 27-SW-0447 for industrial pipe (HDPE 1.5" to 24", PVC 0.75" to 4"), fittings, glue, and hand tools on a three-year initial term with two optional one-year extensions commencing December 1, 2026, with proposals due September 30, 2026. The City of Phoenix contract is subject to DBE-N federal requirements and Arizona E-Verify compliance. Most opportunities are structured as standing supply or as-needed requirements contracts with annual or multiyear terms rather than one-time project procurements, and many require local inventory maintenance and rapid delivery (24-48 hours) to support municipal operations.
