UNSPSC 40172313: Rubber pipe bushing

Pipe bushing made of rubber

UNSPSC 40172313 Rubber pipe bushing, a Commodity code, encompasses repair components and materials for water and wastewater infrastructure projects—specifically fittings, wyes, bushings, and pipe appurtenances installed during sanitary sewer mainline rehabilitation, water main replacement, and related utility distribution system work. State and local water and wastewater utilities, sanitation districts, and county utilities departments procure under this code as part of broader infrastructure rehabilitation and pipe replacement programs. Recent solicitations show demand for service connection fittings (wyes in multiple sizes), pipe materials (PVC and HDPE), and related appurtenances alongside labor and installation services in integrated capital projects rather than as standalone material procurement.

Activity clusters in California and Florida. Santa Clara County Sanitation District No. 2-3 issued ITB ITBRDAFY270088 (due September 17, 2026) for the Structural Defect Repair Project Phase 2, which specifies removal and replacement of service connection fittings including twenty-seven 4"×6" wyes, two 4"×8" wyes, and two 4"×10" wyes as part of a sewer mainline rehabilitation scope encompassing thirty-five point repairs and five pipe-burst replacements; the City of Sarasota posted ITB #26-31JS (closed June 16, 2026) for materials-only procurement of pipe, fittings, and appurtenances for water main replacement, requiring compliance with the City's Potable Water Approved Material List and delivery to the utilities department within ninety calendar days. Broward County posted RFP OPN2131884B2 (due July 1, 2026) for welding and fabrication services across water and wastewater facilities, which may incorporate affiliated material procurement. The code sees limited standalone visibility; most opportunities embed rubber and plastic pipe fittings within larger infrastructure rehabilitation contracts rather than issuing fittings-specific solicitations.
