UNSPSC 40172610: ABS plastic pipe coupling

Pipe coupling made of ABS plastic

UNSPSC 40172610 ABS plastic pipe coupling (Commodity) covers fittings and connection components used in potable water, wastewater, and stormwater infrastructure projects. State and local governments procure these products primarily as line items within larger gravity sewer main replacement, water main rehabilitation, and sanitary sewer infrastructure repair contracts. While the code nominal name references ABS plastic, recent solicitations show actual procurement spanning PVC couplings, compression couplings, wyes, and related piping fittings across multiple materials and diameters. County sanitation districts and municipal utility authorities are the primary buyers, soliciting these items as part of capital infrastructure rehabilitation efforts. Counties and independent utility authorities dominate the issuing-body mix; school districts, transit authorities, and city purchasing offices do not appear in recent activity.

Recent activity concentrates in California and Georgia. Pinellas County, Florida issued an IFB (Solicitation 260652ITBC, due October 13, 2026 with final bids due November 5, 2026) for coordinated sewer and water main improvements including 500 linear feet of 12-inch PVC sanitary sewer pipe and approximately 6,800 linear feet of 6-inch water main replacement. Santa Clara County's Sanitation District No. 2-3 issued an IFB (ITBRDAFY270088, due September 17, 2026) for structural defect repair involving removal and replacement of vitrified clay pipe with PVC SDR26 pipe at multiple diameters, plus 1,080 linear feet of 6-inch HDPE pipe bursting with replacement service connection fittings including forty-eight wyes. DeKalb County, Georgia issued an ITB (2026-034-ITB, due August 27, 2026) for quick insertion valves and tapping sleeves under a three-year multiyear contract. The City of Marietta, Georgia issued an IFB (PE77023NONST2027000000714, due September 22, 2026) for water service saddles, couplings, clamps, and valves on annual contract basis. These contracts reflect steady utility infrastructure modernization across multiple jurisdictions in response to aging pipe systems and compliance requirements.
