UNSPSC 40172308: PVC plastic pipe bushing

Pipe bushing made of PVC plastic

UNSPSC 40172308 PVC plastic pipe bushing, a Commodity code, encompasses PVC fittings and components used in municipal water and wastewater infrastructure rehabilitation and new construction. State and local governments procure these products as part of larger sewer and water main replacement, repair, and extension projects. Recent solicitations show that issuing bodies are acquiring PVC bushings and related fittings (such as wyes and service connection components) alongside PVC pipe itself during point-repair, pipe-burst replacement, and mainline extension work. Sanitation districts, county water agencies, and municipalities source these materials through materials-only solicitations (in which PVC fittings are specified from approved vendor lists) and as line items within broader IFB notices for infrastructure rehabilitation contracts. Issuing bodies include special districts (Santa Clara County Sanitation District No. 2-3), municipal utilities (City of Sarasota), and county departments (Santa Clara County). The code shows limited independent activity; PVC bushings and fittings are typically procured as components of larger sewer and water projects rather than as standalone commodity solicitations.

Recent activity concentrates in California and Florida. Santa Clara County Sanitation District No. 2-3 issued an IFB (ITBRDAFY270088) in August 2026 for the Structural Defect Repair Project Phase 2 in unincorporated Santa Clara County, requiring 6-inch, 8-inch, and 10-inch PVC SDR26 pipe, plus twenty-seven 4"x6" wyes, two 4"x8" wyes, and two 4"x10" wyes, with bids due September 17, 2026. The City of Sarasota issued ITB 26-31JS in June 2026 for materials-only pipe, fittings, and appurtenances for Small AC Water Main Replacement-FY24, requiring vendors to source from an approved potable water materials list and deliver within ninety days (deadline June 16, 2026 has passed). Santa Clara County also solicited for the Central Expressway Pavement Rehabilitation Project (ITBRDAFY260694) in April 2026 with response due May 21, 2026, though that project focuses primarily on pavement rather than water or wastewater infrastructure. The code shows no activity outside California and Florida in the recent record.
