UNSPSC 40172516: Polyethylene pipe connector

A type of pipe connector used for pipe made of polyethylene

UNSPSC 40172516 Polyethylene pipe connector is a Commodity code that covers specialized connectors and coupling components used in water, wastewater, and utility infrastructure projects. State and local governments procure these items as components in larger pavement rehabilitation, water system upgrades, and utility maintenance contracts rather than as standalone consumables. The issuing bodies soliciting under this code span county public works departments, municipal water and wastewater authorities, and regional transit agencies. The code sees activity across multiple states, with recent opportunities posted in California and Florida.

Santa Clara County posted an ITB on April 29, 2026 (response due May 21, 2026) for the Central Expressway Pavement Rehabilitation Project between Bowers Avenue and Scott Boulevard, a comprehensive 142-working-day pavement and infrastructure rehabilitation scope that includes drainage, traffic control, and related improvements where connectors and pipe components would be specified as part of the overall materials package. The City of Tampa, Florida issued an intent to single source Parker Instrumentation Products for wastewater services on April 14, 2026, indicating procurement of instrumentation and related connector components for operational utility systems. The Dallas Area Rapid Transit Authority posted a purchase order on January 23, 2026 (due January 30, 2026) for electrical connectors for motor leads, demonstrating transit-authority demand for specialized connector products. Geographic activity is concentrated in California and Texas, with Florida also showing municipal demand for connector-based utility components.
