UNSPSC 40171711: HDPE plastic pipe adapter

Pipe adapter made of HDPE plastic

UNSPSC 40171711 HDPE plastic pipe adapter is a Commodity code that encompasses high-density polyethylene pipe fittings and adapters used in water and sanitary sewer infrastructure rehabilitation and replacement projects. State and local governments procure these adapters as discrete components within larger capital projects involving gravity sewer main replacement, water main renewal, pipe bursting operations, and service connection upgrades. The adapters serve critical functions in connecting existing and new piping systems, managing transitions between different pipe materials and diameters, and enabling modular repair strategies that minimize system downtime. Issuing bodies include county water and sanitation districts, county purchasing departments, and municipal utilities across multiple states. Both single-project solicitations and routine supply quotations characterize the market.

Recent activity shows geographic concentration in California and Florida. Sanitation District No. 2-3 in Santa Clara County, California issued an IFB in August 2026 for the Structural Defect Repair Project Phase 2, specifying 1,080 linear feet of 6-inch HDPE pipe and associated service connection wyes for pipe bursting rehabilitation of aging vitrified clay and cast-iron mains, with bids due September 17, 2026. Pinellas County, Florida posted a two-step IFB (solicitation 260652ITBC) in October 2026 for coordinated sewer and water main improvements, including sewer pipe and water main replacement work, with minimum qualifications due October 13, 2026 and final bids due November 5, 2026; that project carries a 10% SBE participation goal. Gwinnett County, Georgia issued an IWQ in June 2026 for MJS adapter components (bell and spigot configurations with gaskets), quotes due June 15, 2026, as a discrete supply purchase separate from construction. The code shows active procurement across multiple project types—full infrastructure rehabilitation programs with extended timelines, discrete component supply buys, and coordinated multi-project packages with set-aside requirements—reflecting steady demand for water and wastewater system renewal throughout the Southeast and West.
