UNSPSC 40172308: PVC plastic pipe bushing

Pipe bushing made of PVC plastic

UNSPSC 40172308 PVC plastic pipe bushing is a Commodity code used to classify a single product line within water distribution and wastewater infrastructure procurement. State and local governments buy PVC pipe bushings as components of larger water main replacement, pipe rehabilitation, and utility infrastructure projects—solicitations typically include bushings alongside couplings, fittings, valves, and related appurtenances conforming to American Water Works Association (AWWA), ASTM, and NSF potable-water standards. The code appears in materials-only and equipment-supply solicitations from municipal water utilities, county water authorities, and public works departments. Issuing bodies span city water departments, county utilities divisions, and regional water agencies; the City of Sarasota and City of Phoenix Water Services Department are recent solicitors in this product space.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida and Arizona. The City of Sarasota issued ITB #26-31JS for the Small AC Water Main Replacement (FY24) project in June 2026, soliciting materials-only bids for pipe, fittings, and appurtenances with delivery due within ninety calendar days of purchase order issuance to Sarasota Utilities Department; materials must conform to the City's Potable Water Approved Material List, carry twelve-month warranties, and include guaranteed delivery timeframes. The City of Phoenix Water Services Department posted IFB 260217 in February 2026 for a five-year water pipe and miscellaneous fittings contract commencing May 1, 2026, spanning 15 product groups including bushings with quantities ranging from 2 to over 21,000 units depending on type, requiring bidders to maintain local inventory, provide next-day delivery on captive parts, and comply with AWWA, ASTM, NSF, and DBE standards.
