UNSPSC 40172311: HDPE plastic pipe bushing

Pipe bushing made of HDPE plastic

UNSPSC 40172311 HDPE plastic pipe bushing is a Commodity code that encompasses small plastic fittings and connectors for potable and non-potable water distribution systems. State and local governments procure these components as materials for water main replacement, rehabilitation, and maintenance projects. The recent opportunities show procurement occurring across city utilities departments and county water agencies, with issuing bodies including municipal water services departments and regional water authorities. The work involves supplying bushings alongside other pipe fittings, valves, couplings, and related appurtenances to meet infrastructure upgrades and system repairs.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida and Arizona. The City of Sarasota issued ITB 26-31JS for materials-only supply of pipe, fittings, and appurtenances for the Small AC Water Main Replacement-FY24 project, with bids due June 16, 2026; all materials were required to conform to the City's Potable Water Approved Material List, with twelve-month warranties and free-on-board delivery to the Utilities Department within ninety calendar days. The City of Phoenix Water Services Department solicited sealed offers under IFB260217 for water pipe and miscellaneous fittings across 15 product groups—including bushings—for a five-year term commencing May 1, 2026, with bids due February 19, 2026; contractors were required to meet AWWA, ASTM, and ANSI standards, maintain local inventory, and provide next-day delivery on captive parts. Both procurements emphasize strict material certification, approved manufacturer lists, and compliance with potable water standards.
