UNSPSC 40172511: HDPE plastic pipe connector

Pipe connector made of HDPE plastic

UNSPSC 40172511 HDPE plastic pipe connector is a Commodity code that covers plastic pipe fittings and connectors used in water, wastewater, stormwater, and utility infrastructure projects. State and local governments procure these connectors as components within larger construction and rehabilitation projects involving potable water systems, wastewater treatment facilities, drainage infrastructure, and related public works. The issuing bodies soliciting under this code span county departments of public works, municipal water and wastewater authorities, transit agencies, and city procurement offices. Recent activity shows the code appearing in pavement rehabilitation and utility infrastructure projects where plastic piping systems form part of broader site improvements, including stormwater management and ADA accessibility work.

Geographic activity centers on California and Texas. Santa Clara County issued an ITB in April 2026 for the Central Expressway Pavement Rehabilitation Project (due May 21, 2026), which includes installation of new bioretention basins and related drainage infrastructure where HDPE connectors would serve as components. The Dallas Area Rapid Transit Authority posted a purchase order in January 2026 for specialized electrical connectors (due January 30, 2026) that does not align with the pipe connector scope. A City of Tampa single-source procurement in April 2026 targeted Parker Instrumentation Products for wastewater services but does not specify plastic pipe components. The Santa Clara County project represents the most directly relevant recent opportunity under the code's nominal scope, though the tag may reflect incidental components within a much larger pavement and drainage rehabilitation contract rather than a focused procurement of plastic connectors alone.
