UNSPSC 40172413: Rubber pipe cap

Pipe cap made of rubber

UNSPSC 40172413 Rubber pipe cap, a Commodity code, covers pipe end sealing and termination components used in water, wastewater, and drainage infrastructure projects where existing pipes are capped, plugged, or temporarily sealed during construction, rehabilitation, or maintenance work. State and local governments procure these items as materials within larger sanitary sewer rehabilitation, water main replacement, and utility infrastructure repair projects. Issuing bodies include county sanitation districts, county water and wastewater departments, and county transportation agencies.

Santa Clara County Sanitation District No. 2-3 posted an IFB (ITBRDAFY270088) on August 26, 2026 for the Structural Defect Repair Project Phase 2, due September 17, 2026, which includes removal and replacement of sanitary sewer pipe, service connection fittings, and related mainline extensions in the unincorporated eastern foothills—work that would involve pipe capping or sealing of existing vitrified clay pipe prior to removal or replacement. Recent opportunities show activity in California, particularly in Santa Clara County. The code shows limited representation in the available recent-opportunities dataset; two of three solicitations posted in the source are welding and fabrication services and pavement rehabilitation, which do not directly align with rubber pipe cap procurement, suggesting that pipe cap materials are typically sourced as line items within broader infrastructure contracts rather than as standalone procurements.
