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 covering plastic pipe products and fittings supplied to state and local water, wastewater, and utility infrastructure projects. Recent state and local opportunities show the code applies to a much broader scope than ABS alone—the actual procurement activity spans PVC sewer pipe, HDPE water pipe, corrugated polypropylene pipe, PVC-coated metal conduit, and copper tubing for water service replacement. Issuing bodies include utility commissions, public works departments, water authorities, transportation cabinets, and counties across water infrastructure, stormwater management, and airport operations. Work ranges from as-needed supply contracts on three-year terms to project-specific installations of hundreds to thousands of linear feet of pipe with associated fittings, hydrants, valves, and couplings.

The mix of recent opportunities spans utility commissions (Town of Waterford, Connecticut; Beaufort-Jasper Water & Sewer Authority, South Carolina), municipal public works and water departments (City of Phoenix, City of Arlington, City of Augusta, City of Grovetown), county-level purchasing (Gwinnett County and DeKalb County, Georgia; Barnwell County, South Carolina), state-level transportation procurement (Kentucky Transportation Cabinet), and special-purpose authorities (Notla Water Authority, Georgia; Solid Waste Authority of Palm Beach County). Pipe and fitting supply solicitations cluster heavily in the Southeast—Georgia, South Carolina, Connecticut, Florida, and Kentucky—though Arizona (Phoenix) and Texas (Arlington, Southlake) show comparable recent activity. Representative recent opportunities include the Town of Waterford Utility Commission IFB #26-014 for replacement of plastic water services with copper tubing due November 12, 2026; the City of Phoenix Public Works Department IFB 27-SW-0447 for industrial pipe, HDPE, and PVC supply on a three-year term due September 30, 2026; DeKalb County ITB 2026-118 for PVC sewer pipes, fittings, and couplings on a three-year multiyear contract due October 7, 2026; and the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet RFB 605 2700000122 for corrugated polypropylene pipe in sizes 12 to 60 inches due October 2, 2026, subject to Buy America and Build America Act compliance.
