UNSPSC 40172005: PVC plastic pipe baffle

Pipe baffle made of PVC plastic

UNSPSC 40172005 PVC plastic pipe baffle, a Commodity code, describes plastic pipe products and fittings that state and local governments procure for water, sewer, and stormwater infrastructure maintenance and repair—typically in as-needed supply contracts rather than project-specific bids. Recent solicitations show municipalities and utility districts buying PVC pipe in diameters from 0.75 inches to 10 inches, bundled with fittings such as elbows, couplings, wyes, and tees, alongside HDPE alternatives, valves, and related inventory materials for routine operations. The buyer mix spans city public works departments, county water and sewer authorities, and special-purpose districts; issuers include the City of Phoenix (Aviation Department), City of Augusta, Douglasville-Douglas County Water and Sewer Authority, Santa Clara County, City of Sarasota, DeKalb County, and Calhoun, Georgia. Contract structures favor multiyear as-needed supply vehicles with firm pricing, DBE or local-vendor preferences where applicable, and 24- to 60-day delivery requirements.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Arizona, with secondary activity in California and Florida. Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Public Works Department IFB 27-SW-0447 (posted September 30, 2026, due September 30, 2026 at 10:00 a.m.) for three-year supply of HDPE pipe 1.5 to 24 inches, PVC pipe 0.75 to 4 inches, fittings, and hand tools to Phoenix Sky Harbor and regional airports under DBE-Neutral compliance; the City of Augusta, Georgia ITB 27-116 (posted September 10, 2026, due September 29, 2026 at 11:00 a.m.) for HDPE pipe, couplings, and fittings in 8- to 36-inch diameters with local-bidder preference and MWBE requirements; and the Douglasville-Douglas County Water and Sewer Authority IFB 327 (posted September 2, 2026, due October 7, 2026 at 2:00 p.m.) for annual water and sewer pipe fittings and related materials on as-needed basis. Demand appears steady but not concentrated—issuers use cooperative or spot purchases rather than frameworks, and contract awards typically support individual municipalities rather than regional consortia.
