UNSPSC 40172007: ABS plastic pipe baffle

Pipe baffle made of ABS plastic

UNSPSC 40172007 ABS plastic pipe baffle, a Commodity code, does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a narrow product category within thermoplastic piping, yet the available opportunities tagged or related to plastic pipe procurement focus on system-level components — HDPE and PVC piping in bulk supply for infrastructure maintenance, water and sewer projects, and stormwater management. The City of Phoenix Public Works Department, for example, solicited sealed bids under IFB 27-SW-0447 (with offers due September 30, 2026) for a three-year supply contract covering HDPE pipe ranging from 1.5 inches to 24 inches in diameter, PVC pipe from 0.75 to 4 inches, and related fittings such as elbows and couplings — all delivered on an as-needed basis to Phoenix's three airport operations. Similarly, the City of Augusta, Georgia issued an Invitation to Bid (ITB 27-116, bids due September 29, 2026) for HDPE pipe, couplings, and end sections in diameters from 8 to 36 inches for stormwater and drainage infrastructure maintenance. The Douglasville-Douglas County Water and Sewer Authority sought annual water and sewer pipe fittings and related materials under IFB 327 (bids due October 7, 2026), and Santa Clara County Sanitation District No. 2-3 posted bids for the Structural Defect Repair Project Phase 2 (due September 17, 2026), which includes removal and replacement of vitrified clay pipe with PVC SDR26 and HDPE pipe at multiple diameters.

Purchasing activity clusters among municipal water and sewer authorities, county sanitation districts, and city public works departments across Arizona, Georgia, and California, with recurring solicitations for bulk supply contracts spanning one to three years. The specific product coded as ABS plastic pipe baffle — a component for piping systems rather than the larger conduit itself — does not surface in the representative opportunities. A firm pursuing this code should verify that state and local procurement offices are actively acquiring ABS baffles as discrete line items rather than absorbing them into system-level pipe and fitting contracts; current market signals suggest limited standalone demand for this commodity at the state and local level.
