UNSPSC 40172008: HDPE plastic pipe baffle

Pipe baffle made of HDPE plastic

UNSPSC 40172008 HDPE plastic pipe baffle (Commodity) covers supply contracts for plastic piping systems and fittings used in water, wastewater, and stormwater infrastructure projects. Recent state and local solicitations show procurement activity concentrated in supply of HDPE and PVC pipe in multiple diameters, ductile iron pipe, mechanical and flange fittings, valves, fire hydrants, and associated appurtenances—typically sourced as materials-only or as-needed supply agreements rather than installed construction. Issuing bodies include city public works departments, water utilities, county utilities divisions, and county purchasing offices across Florida and Georgia, with cities of Phoenix, Sarasota, Palm Bay, and Calhoun leading recent activity. The scope reflects municipal infrastructure maintenance, replacement, and expansion work in water main relocation, outfall pipe rehabilitation, water treatment plant upgrades, and sewer system upgrades, with suppliers expected to maintain local inventory, provide rapid delivery (24 to 48 hours for as-needed contracts), and quote firm fixed pricing or percentage discounts from manufacturer lists for multi-year contract terms.

Geographic activity clusters in Florida (Phoenix, Sarasota, Palm Bay, Orange County) and Georgia (Calhoun, Gwinnett County, Lavonia), with recent opportunities spanning calendar dates from February through July 2026. Representative current solicitations include the City of Phoenix Public Works Department IFB 26-SW-0379 for industrial pipe and fittings on an as-needed basis with contract term commencing December 1, 2026 and response deadline August 12, 2026; the City of Sarasota ITB 26-31JS for materials-only pipe and fittings for potable water main replacement, conforming to the City's Approved Material List; and the City of Calhoun, Georgia sealed bid for water main relocation supplies (69 line items including ductile iron mains in multiple sizes and PVC piping) with bids due June 18, 2026. Contracts typically span three years with optional renewal periods, require compliance with Federal Transit Administration DBE programs or Build America Buy America requirements where applicable, and mandate rapid delivery performance and dedicated inventory support.
