UNSPSC 40172510: ABS plastic pipe connector

Pipe connector made of ABS plastic

UNSPSC 40172510 ABS plastic pipe connector is a Commodity code that captures plastic pipe fittings and connectors used in municipal water and sewer infrastructure replacement and rehabilitation projects. Recent state and local solicitations under this code reflect procurement of specialized plastic pipe components—including PVC SDR26 and HDPE pipe, service connection wyes, and related fittings—as part of larger gravity sewer main replacements, sanitary sewer point repairs, and water main rehabilitation scopes. Issuing bodies are county sanitation districts and county public works departments soliciting work through IFBs and ITBs with unit-price and lump-sum payment structures; these are typically coordinated, multi-year infrastructure programs with strict qualification and bonding requirements, small business enterprise participation goals, and completion windows of 65 to 380 consecutive calendar days.

Santa Clara County and Pinellas County, Florida dominate recent activity under this code. Sanitation District No. 2-3 in Santa Clara County issued ITB ITBRDAFY270088 in August 2026 for thirty-five sanitary sewer mainline point repairs and pipe-burst replacements requiring 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, plus twenty-seven 4"×6" wyes and associated service connection fittings, with bids due September 17, 2026. Pinellas County, Florida posted IFB 260652ITBC in October 2026 for the Ridgewood Estates Sewer Improvements and 82nd Avenue & 113th Street Water Main Improvements projects, specifying 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, with a minimum qualification submittal due October 13, 2026 and final bids due November 5, 2026 under a 10 percent SBE participation goal. Santa Clara County also solicited broader pavement rehabilitation work (Central Expressway Pavement Rehabilitation Project, ITB ITBRDAFY260694, May 2026) that does not directly specify plastic pipe connectors in its scope summary.
