UNSPSC 40172509: CPVC plastic pipe connector

Pipe connector made of CPVC plastic

UNSPSC 40172509 CPVC plastic pipe connector is a Commodity code that covers PVC and CPVC pipe fittings and connectors used in water distribution and sanitary sewer infrastructure projects. State and local procurement under this code focuses on replacement and repair of aging water mains and sewer lines, where contractors source fittings including wyes, tees, and other connectors as component materials within larger infrastructure rehabilitation or new-construction bids. The buying bodies are primarily county public works and sanitation districts managing utility infrastructure renewal programs.

Recent solicitations show activity concentrated in California and Florida. Pinellas County, Florida issued IFB 260652ITBC in October 2026 for coordinated sewer and water main improvements requiring approximately 500 linear feet of 12-inch PVC sanitary sewer pipe and 6,800 linear feet of 6-inch water main replacement, with a 10% SBE participation goal and final bids due November 5, 2026. Santa Clara County, California issued ITB ITBRDAFY270088 in August 2026 for the County Sanitation District No. 2-3 Structural Defect Repair Project Phase 2, a sewer infrastructure rehabilitation program encompassing removal and replacement of vitrified clay pipe with PVC SDR26 at multiple diameters and service connection fittings including twenty-seven 4"×6" wyes, two 4"×8" wyes, and two 4"×10" wyes, with bids due September 17, 2026. A third Santa Clara County ITB from April 2026 for the Central Expressway Pavement Rehabilitation Project demonstrates broader public works activity in the county but does not emphasize pipe connector procurement. The code shows strongest recent activity in California sanitation district projects and Florida county utility infrastructure work, with work timelines ranging from 65 to 380 calendar days and contractor responsibility for material supply as part of unit-price or lump-sum bid structures.
