UNSPSC 40172609: CPVC plastic pipe coupling

Pipe coupling made of CPVC plastic

UNSPSC 40172609 CPVC plastic pipe coupling is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local solicitations, does not see meaningful activity aligned with its nominal scope. The code shows limited direct demand for CPVC pipe couplings themselves. Instead, recent opportunities tagged under this code reflect a broader pattern of water and sewer infrastructure procurement — including water meter assemblies, bypass systems, particle counters, booster pump stations, and general water and sewer operations materials — where coupling and fitting components may be subordinate line items within larger scopes. The issuing bodies span water utilities, county departments, and municipal water services departments, with no single repeat buyer dominating the recent record. Jackson County Utility Authority (Florida), Santa Clara County (California), the Berkshire Regional Group Purchasing Program (Massachusetts), Gwinnett County (Georgia), the City of Phoenix Water Services Department (Arizona), Volusia County (Florida), and Franklin County (Georgia) all posted related infrastructure work in the first half of 2026.

Activity concentrates in the Southeast and Southwest, with notable recent solicitations from Florida, Georgia, and Arizona water utilities, and a multi-jurisdictional cooperative purchasing vehicle in Massachusetts covering highway and water infrastructure supplies. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Water Services Department's IFB 260217 for water pipe and miscellaneous fittings (due February 19, 2026) covering 15 product groups with five-year contract terms, the Volusia County Invitation to Bid 26-B-42LS for materials for water and sewer operations (due February 4, 2026) with FEMA funding and Davis-Bacon wage compliance, and the Berkshire Regional Group Purchasing Program's FY27-04 for culvert products (due April 2, 2026) on behalf of 32 Massachusetts municipalities. None of these solicitations explicitly quantifies demand for CPVC couplings as a standalone commodity; the code appears misaligned with actual procurement activity.
