UNSPSC 40172310: ABS plastic pipe bushing

Pipe bushing made of ABS plastic

UNSPSC 40172310 ABS plastic pipe bushing is a Commodity code that covers fittings and connectors used in potable water and wastewater infrastructure repair and replacement projects. State and local governments procure these components as part of broader sanitary sewer rehabilitation programs, water main replacements, and pipe burst and point-repair work. The actual buying under this code centers on service connection fittings—wyes, elbows, and similar junction components—that connect lateral service lines to mainline infrastructure, typically specified alongside PVC, HDPE, and cast iron pipe in municipal water and sanitation district solicitations. Issuing bodies include county sanitation districts, municipal water and wastewater utilities, and county public works departments. Recent opportunities show mixed notice types: some use ITBs for materials-only bids with strict approved-product lists, while others embed fittings within larger IFB scopes for full rehabilitation projects that include pipe, manholes, and site work.

Geographic activity concentrates in California and Florida. Santa Clara County Sanitation District No. 2-3 issued ITB ITBRDAFY270088 for the Structural Defect Repair Project Phase 2 (due September 17, 2026), specifying twenty-seven 4"×6" wyes, two 4"×8" wyes, and two 4"×10" wyes as part of mainline extension and point-repair work in unincorporated eastern foothills. The City of Sarasota issued ITB 26-31JS for Small AC Water Main Replacement materials only (posted June 29, 2026; bid deadline June 16, 2026 has passed), requiring pipe fittings from a pre-approved Potable Water Approved Material List with delivery to the Utilities Department within ninety calendar days of purchase order issuance and a one-year contract term with two one-year renewal options. Santa Clara County also solicited pavement rehabilitation work (ITB ITBRDAFY260694, due May 21, 2026) that included incidental pipe and fitting replacement alongside asphalt, curb, and traffic control work.
