UNSPSC 40171619: Industrial ABS pipe

Pipe with a pressure rating of more than 2500 psi made of ABS plastic

UNSPSC 40171619 Industrial ABS pipe is a Commodity code that frames products and services state and local governments procure across water and wastewater infrastructure construction and maintenance. Recent solicitations show the code capturing not solely ABS pipe but a broader set of plastic and metal piping materials — High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), reinforced concrete pipe (RCP), corrugated metal pipe, ductile iron pipe, and copper water services — supplied both as materials for capital projects and on annual requirements contracts. The issuing-body mix spans city and county public works and utility departments (Phoenix Public Works, Palm Bay, Orange County, Arlington Water Utilities, Gwinnett County Water Resources), water and sewer authorities (Beaufort-Jasper Water & Sewer Authority, Notla Water Authority), and state and regional cooperative purchasing programs (Berkshire Regional Group Purchasing Program in Massachusetts). Solicitations are issued as IFB, RFQ, and ITB notices; many require firm pricing, F.O.B. delivery, and compliance with materials standards (ANSI/AWWA, ASTM, Georgia DOT). Smaller district-level projects and annual supply contracts represent the bulk of activity.

Geographic concentration centers on the Southeast, particularly Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, and Carolinas, with additional activity in Texas (Arlington), California (Santa Clara County), Connecticut, and Massachusetts. The City of Phoenix Public Works Department issued IFB26SW0379 on July 8, 2026 (due August 12, 2026) for industrial pipe, fittings, and equipment on a three-year as-needed supply contract requiring 24–48 hour delivery and local inventory; the Beaufort-Jasper Water & Sewer Authority issued 2026IFB025 on April 28, 2026 (due May 27, 2026) for waterline replacement installing 1,950 linear feet of eight-inch and four-inch water mains with mandatory pre-bid conference and strict technical compliance requirements. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners solicited BL079-26 on April 16, 2026 (due May 19, 2026) for annual stormwater pipe purchase on an open-end four-year contract with optional renewals, covering RCP, HDPE, and corrugated metal pipe in multiple diameter ranges. Orange County, Florida's five-year sewer pipes and fittings contract (Y26-126, updated to January 22, 2026 response deadline) specified an estimated $28.7 million five-year spend with percentage-discount pricing and emergency delivery capability, and Orange County also issued emergency bridge-replacement bids (Y26-742, due July 7, 2026) estimated at $6.2 million covering comprehensive water infrastructure and environmental compliance. Activity remains steady across all four quarters; pricing structures favor firm, fixed annual contracts with CPI-U escalation caps and discount-from-list pricing; many projects carry federal or state funding (American Rescue Plan, State Revolving Funds, CDBG) and corresponding compliance mandates including Build America Buy America, Davis-Bacon, and DBE/SBE participation goals.
