UNSPSC 40172311: HDPE plastic pipe bushing

Pipe bushing made of HDPE plastic

UNSPSC 40172311 HDPE plastic pipe bushing is a Commodity code representing polyethylene piping components and fittings used in municipal water and wastewater infrastructure repair and replacement projects. State and local governments procure this code primarily through sanitation districts, county utilities departments, and water authorities conducting sewer mainline rehabilitation, pipe bursting replacement, and water main upgrades. The work involves supply of HDPE pipe segments, service connection fittings such as wyes and tees, and related piping appurtenances that comply with approved materials specifications and potable water or sanitary sewer standards. Issuing bodies include regional sanitation districts, municipal utilities departments, and county water and wastewater agencies executing infrastructure improvement programs under time-certain completion requirements and American Iron and Steel or Buy American Act compliance.

Recent activity concentrates in California and Florida. Santa Clara County Sanitation District No. 2-3 posted ITB ITBRDAFY270088 on August 26, 2026 (due September 17, 2026) for the Structural Defect Repair Project Phase 2, specifying 1,080 linear feet of 6-inch HDPE pipe for pipe bursting operations along with twenty-seven 4"×6" wyes, two 4"×8" wyes, and two 4"×10" wyes for service connection replacement across thirty-five sanitary sewer mainline point repairs and five mainline pipe-burst replacements in unincorporated Santa Clara County foothills, with sixty-five working days to completion. The City of Sarasota released ITB 2631JS on June 29, 2026 (due June 16, 2026) for materials-only supply of pipe, fittings, and appurtenances conforming to the City's Potable Water Approved Material List, requiring delivery free-on-board within ninety calendar days, twelve-month warranty coverage, and a one-year term with two one-year renewal options. Both opportunities emphasize strict materials compliance, approved vendor lists, and delivery logistics as key differentiators for contractors and suppliers.
