UNSPSC 40172517: Polypropylene pipe connector

A type of pipe connector used for pipe made of polypropylene.

UNSPSC 40172517 Polypropylene pipe connector is a Commodity code that state and local governments use to procure specialized connector components for infrastructure, utility, and transportation applications. The recent solicitations show the code capturing diverse connector types — from electrical motor-lead connectors for transit authority vehicle and signal systems to specialized instrumentation products for wastewater operations — rather than limiting to polymer pipe connectors alone. Issuing bodies span transit authorities, county transportation departments, and municipal utility systems, with no single repeat buyer emerging in the recent record.

Activity appears concentrated in California and Texas, with posted opportunities from Santa Clara County (a pavement rehabilitation project issued as IFB 26-0694 due May 21, 2026), the City of Tampa, Florida (a single-source Parker Instrumentation Products procurement for wastewater services, posted April 6, 2026, response deadline April 9, 2026), and the Dallas Area Rapid Transit Authority (a motor-lead connector purchase order 2097648, posted January 23, 2026, due January 30, 2026). The Santa Clara project is the largest-scope recent opportunity, covering comprehensive pavement work with a 142 working-day completion window but without disclosed budget or award value. The DART solicitation requires FOB Destination terms, Net 30 payment, and submission through the BONFIRE registration system. Geographic spread across California, Texas, and Florida suggests activity is tied to specific infrastructure and transit agency needs rather than concentrated in a single state or jurisdiction.
