UNSPSC 40172511: HDPE plastic pipe connector

Pipe connector made of HDPE plastic

UNSPSC 40172511 HDPE plastic pipe connector, a Commodity code, covers plastic pipe fittings and connectors deployed in sewer and water infrastructure replacement projects by county utilities and special-purpose sanitation districts. State and local governments procure these components as part of gravity sewer main replacement, water main rehabilitation, and sewer pipe-burst renewal programs aimed at eliminating capacity restrictions, reducing sanitary sewer overflows, and extending the useful life of aging distribution systems. The issuing bodies are primarily county sanitation districts and county public works departments managing regional water and wastewater infrastructure; repeat buyers include Pinellas County, Florida and Santa Clara County, California.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida and California. Pinellas County, Florida posted Solicitation 260652ITBC (IFB, response deadline October 13, 2026 for qualification, final bids November 5, 2026) for the Ridgewood Estates Sewer Improvements Project and 82nd Avenue & 113th Street Water Main Improvements Project, which includes approximately 500 linear feet of 12-inch PVC sanitary sewer pipe and approximately 6,800 linear feet of 6-inch water main replacement using open cut and horizontal directional drilling; a 10% Small Business Enterprise participation goal applies. Santa Clara County Sanitation District No. 2-3 posted Solicitation ITBRDAFY270088 (IFB, response deadline September 17, 2026) for the Structural Defect Repair Project Phase 2, which specifies 1,080 linear feet of 6-inch high-density polyethylene pipe replacement via pipe bursting, twenty-seven 4"×6" wyes, two 4"×8" wyes, and two 4"×10" wyes, with sixty-five working days required for completion from Notice to Proceed. Both opportunities reflect active utility capital programs in major metropolitan areas where infrastructure age and condition drive ongoing demand for plastic pipe components and fittings.
