UNSPSC 40172508: PVC plastic pipe connector

Pipe connector made of PVC plastic

UNSPSC 40172508 PVC plastic pipe connector is a Commodity code covering plastic pipe fittings and connectors used in sewer and water main infrastructure projects. State and local governments buy these products as part of gravity sewer replacement, water main rehabilitation, and sanitary sewer system extensions — work that involves removal and replacement of aging or defective piping with PVC or HDPE alternatives, including wyes, service laterals, and related fittings. Recent solicitations show the code captures work on mainline pipe replacement, service connection fittings, and pipe-burst rehabilitation spanning multiple pipe diameters and configurations. Issuing bodies are primarily county sanitation districts and county public works departments managing regional wastewater and water infrastructure programs; these entities issue ITB notices for sealed-bid award on unit-price or design-bid-build terms with completion timelines ranging from roughly two to four months.

Recent activity concentrates in California and Florida. Pinellas County, Florida posted IFB 260652ITBC in October 2026 for the Ridgewood Estates Sewer Improvements and 82nd Avenue & 113th Street Water Main Improvements, calling for approximately 500 linear feet of 12-inch PVC sanitary sewer pipe and 6,800 linear feet of 6-inch water main replacement with fire hydrant and gate valve installation, under a two-step qualification and bidding process with final bids due November 5, 2026 and a 10% SBE participation goal. Santa Clara County (Sanitation District No. 2-3) issued ITB ITBRDAFY270088 in August 2026 for the Structural Defect Repair Project Phase 2, specifying removal and replacement of 326 linear feet of 6-inch PVC SDR26, 114 linear feet of 8-inch PVC SDR26, and 43 linear feet of 10-inch PVC SDR26, along with twenty-seven 4"×6" wyes, two 4"×8" wyes, two 4"×10" wyes, and 256 and 102 linear feet of 6-inch PVC extensions with service laterals, with proposals due September 17, 2026. A third Santa Clara County opportunity (ITBRDAFY260694) posted April 2026 for Central Expressway pavement rehabilitation, though that scope emphasizes asphalt and concrete work rather than plastic pipe connectors and shows limited direct relevance to the code.
