UNSPSC 40172408: PVC plastic pipe cap

Pipe cap made of PVC plastic

UNSPSC 40172408 PVC plastic pipe cap is a Commodity code that covers rigid and flexible plastic pipe fittings and connectors, including caps, plugs, couplings, and specialty joints used in sanitary sewer, water distribution, and utility infrastructure projects. State and local governments procure these components as part of larger water and wastewater infrastructure rehabilitation, pipe replacement, and mainline extension work. The issuing bodies soliciting under this code are county sanitation districts, county water and wastewater service departments, and county transportation authorities. Santa Clara County Sanitation District No. 2-3 and Santa Clara County transportation authorities are active buyers.

Recent activity centers on California, specifically Santa Clara County, where the County Sanitation District No. 2-3 posted an ITB (ITBRDAFY270088) on August 26, 2026 for the Structural Defect Repair Project Phase 2, with bids due September 17, 2026, calling for removal and replacement of existing vitrified clay pipe with PVC SDR26 pipe at multiple diameters (6-inch, 8-inch, and 10-inch), service connection fittings including wyes, and 4-inch PVC SDR26 service laterals across thirty-five sanitary sewer mainline point repairs, five mainline pipe-burst replacements at seventeen locations, and two sewer mainline extensions in unincorporated eastern foothills. A second recent Santa Clara County ITB (ITBRDAFY260694) posted April 29, 2026 for the Central Expressway Pavement Rehabilitation Project Between Bowers Avenue and Scott Boulevard, due May 21, 2026, included removal and replacement of pavement markings and related infrastructure improvements but did not call out PVC pipe cap procurement. The Broward County welding and fabrication RFP (OPN2131884B2) posted June 17, 2026 for Water and Wastewater Services and other agencies, due July 1, 2026, does not align with PVC pipe cap procurement. The code shows limited recent state and local solicitation activity specifically targeting PVC pipe cap components.
