UNSPSC 40172309: CPVC plastic pipe bushing

Pipe bushing made of CPVC plastic

UNSPSC 40172309 CPVC Plastic Pipe Bushing is a Commodity code that describes fitting and appurtenance components used in potable-water and wastewater infrastructure projects, though recent state and local solicitations show limited direct demand for bushings as standalone line items. Instead, the code appears to map to broader water-main and sewer-replacement projects where PVC fittings—including wyes, service laterals, and related appurtenances—form part of comprehensive pipe-replacement and infrastructure-rehabilitation scopes. State and local issuing bodies pursuing work under or near this code include county sanitation districts, municipal utilities departments, and county water and wastewater agencies. The City of Sarasota and Santa Clara County (both in California and Florida respectively) have recently posted water-main and sanitary-sewer solicitations that encompass fitting and appurtenance procurement, though these are typically bundled into materials-only or full-scope construction bids rather than issued as standalone fitting RFQs.

Recent activity clusters in California and Florida. Santa Clara County posted an ITB (ITBRDAFY270088) on August 26, 2026 for the Structural Defect Repair Project Phase 2, a sanitary-sewer rehabilitation requiring removal and replacement of vitrified clay pipe with PVC SDR26 pipe at multiple diameters, including twenty-seven 4-inch by 6-inch wyes, two 4-inch by 8-inch wyes, and two 4-inch by 10-inch wyes, with proposals due September 17, 2026. The City of Sarasota posted an ITB (2631JS) on June 29, 2026 for Small AC Water Main Replacement materials only, specifying that all materials conform to the city's Potable Water Approved Material List and requiring contractors to source exclusively from approved manufacturers, with a deadline that passed June 16, 2026. The geographic footprint of recent solicitations spans California and Florida, with no evidence of broader national activity under this specific code. Business development professionals should recognize that demand for CPVC bushings and related fittings flows primarily through larger construction and materials-supply RFPs anchored by water-main and sewer-infrastructure projects rather than through standalone fixture RFQs.
