UNSPSC 40172523: Corrugated pipe connector

A connecting pipe used to link corrugated pipes together or to change direction of the pipe.

UNSPSC 40172523 Corrugated pipe connector is a Commodity code that describes specialized connectors and conduit components used in infrastructure, utilities, and transit operations. State and local governments soliciting under this code procure connectors for stormwater management, electrical systems, and pavement rehabilitation projects. Recent opportunities show mixed issuing bodies: county transportation departments (Santa Clara County), municipal utilities (City of Tampa), and transit authorities (Dallas Area Rapid Transit Authority) all source connectors and related components under related classifications. The scope spans corrugated conduit segments for drainage and stormwater applications, electrical connectors for motor leads and instrumentation systems, and specialized fittings required for infrastructure rehabilitation work. Procurement methods vary from competitive sealed bidding (IFB) for large pavement and drainage projects to single-source qualifications for proprietary instrumentation products and purchase orders for specific electrical components.

Recent activity concentrates in California and Texas. Santa Clara County issued ITB ITBRDAFY260694 on April 29, 2026 (due May 21, 2026) for the Central Expressway Pavement Rehabilitation Project, a comprehensive 142-working-day pavement and drainage rehabilitation between Bowers Avenue and Scott Boulevard in San Jose that includes installation of new bioretention basins and removal and replacement of inductive traffic loops—scope indicating demand for conduit, connectors, and related subsurface components. The Dallas Area Rapid Transit Authority posted purchase order 2097648 on January 23, 2026 (due January 30, 2026) for electrical connectors (Connector, KJ, 1/0 Motor Leads), requiring FOB Destination delivery and Net 30 payment terms. The City of Tampa issued a single-source procurement (26X01044) in April 2026 for Parker Instrumentation Products for wastewater services, seeking authorized distributors capable of warranty and maintenance support. Geographic spread includes California, Texas, and Florida; the code shows low recent activity overall, suggesting selective rather than broad-based state and local procurement volume in this category.
