UNSPSC 40171620: Industrial HDPE pipe

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

UNSPSC 40171620 Industrial HDPE pipe is a Commodity code representing polyethylene water distribution and drainage piping that state and local water and wastewater utilities procure for new construction, system extensions, rehabilitation, and emergency replacement. Recent opportunities show municipalities and regional water authorities soliciting HDPE and related plastic pipe products ranging from 1.5 to 30 inches in diameter, often bundled with fittings, valves, and installation services. The City of Phoenix Public Works Department issued an IFB for industrial pipe, HDPE fittings, and equipment on an as-needed three-year contract with two optional one-year extensions, due August 12, 2026, requiring 24- to 48-hour delivery and local inventory maintenance. The City of Arlington Water Utilities Department solicited an annual requirements contract for HDPE water pipe in multiple diameters (6, 8, 12, and 16 inches) conforming to PE4710 and ANSI/AWWA C906 standards, due May 21, 2026, with one-year term and up to two renewal options. Issuing bodies span city water departments, county water authorities, and regional water and sewer authorities across multiple states. Notla Water Authority in Georgia, Beaufort-Jasper Water & Sewer Authority in South Carolina, and City of Swainsboro in Georgia have all posted construction projects incorporating HDPE or PVC water mains within the past six months. Geographic activity concentrates in Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina, with additional recent opportunities in Connecticut, Texas, California, and Massachusetts.

The code sees steady activity across water infrastructure replacement and system expansion projects. Recent Georgia solicitations include Notla Water Authority's water system improvements (2,400 linear feet of 6-inch water line, June 18, 2026 deadline) and Bryan County's water main extension along I-16 (14,350 linear feet of 30-inch PVC water main, March 31, 2026 deadline). South Carolina opportunities include Barnwell County's Heyward Street waterline replacement (1,950 linear feet of 8-inch and 4-inch water mains, August 4, 2026) and Penn Center waterline replacement via Beaufort-Jasper Water & Sewer Authority (similar scope, May 27, 2026). Florida saw emergency bridge replacement and outfall pipe replacement procurements. Cooperative purchasing vehicles appear in the Berkshire Regional Group Purchasing Program (Massachusetts), which lists culvert products (FY27-04) alongside other highway supplies for fiscal 2027. Contract structures typically require F.O.B. Delivered pricing, firm pricing for the contract term, compliance with prevailing wage where applicable, and substantial bonding. Many projects carry DBE, SBE, or Section 3 participation goals. Bidders face Georgia Utility Contractor licensure requirements in multiple Georgia solicitations and E-Verify compliance mandates across jurisdictions.
