UNSPSC 40172400: Pipe caps

UNSPSC 40172400 Pipe caps, a Class code, covers replacement and repair components for water, wastewater, and sewer infrastructure — primarily polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and high-density polyethylene (HDPE) pipe segments, wyes, fittings, and accessory materials used in sanitation district and county water authority projects. State and local buyers soliciting under this code include special-purpose sanitation districts and county water and wastewater services departments. The scope centers on materials for mainline sewer rehabilitation, pipe bursting and replacement work, service connection fittings, and extension installations in gravity-fed and pressurized systems.

Recent activity concentrates in California. Santa Clara County Sanitation District No. 2-3 posted an IFB (Solicitation Number ITBRDAFY270088) on August 26, 2026, with a September 17, 2026 deadline, for the Structural Defect Repair Project Phase 2, requesting removal and replacement of vitrified clay pipe with PVC SDR26 and HDPE segments totaling approximately 1,483 linear feet across multiple diameters (6-inch, 8-inch, and 10-inch), along with twenty-seven 4"×6" wyes, two 4"×8" wyes, and two 4"×10" wyes. The district requires sixty-five working days to completion from Notice to Proceed. A second representative opportunity — Broward County's welding and fabrication services contract (OPN2131884B2, posted June 17, 2026, due July 1, 2026) — is unrelated to pipe caps and reflects a tagging mismatch. Santa Clara County's Central Expressway Pavement Rehabilitation Project (ITBRDAFY260694, May 21, 2026 deadline) similarly falls outside scope. Beyond the Santa Clara sanitation district opportunity, the source supports no other pipe-caps-specific state or local procurement activity.
