UNSPSC 40172610: ABS plastic pipe coupling

Pipe coupling made of ABS plastic

UNSPSC 40172610 ABS plastic pipe coupling is a Commodity code that encompasses plastic piping components and fittings used in water, sewer, and utility infrastructure projects. State and local governments procure these materials for municipal water and wastewater systems, culvert installations, septic abatement, and associated utility network construction and rehabilitation. Issuing bodies span county utility authorities, municipal water departments, regional purchasing consortiums, and county commissioners' offices, with activity concentrated among mid-sized utility systems and county-level infrastructure operations. Recent solicitations show materials procurement dominates the code, with governments sourcing plastic and metal fittings, couplings, clamps, bypass spools, and allied components on both project and standing-supply bases.

The geographic spread of recent activity includes Florida (Volusia County), Georgia (Gwinnett County, Franklin County, Technical College System), Arizona (City of Phoenix), Massachusetts (Berkshire County), California (Santa Clara County), and Mississippi (Jackson County Utility Authority). Representative opportunities include Jackson County Utility Authority's request for materials for the South Central Septic Abatement Project with quotes due July 8, 2026 (RESTORE-funded and BABA-certified); the Berkshire Regional Group Purchasing Program's joint cooperative procurement (FY27-04 Culvert Products, April 2, 2026 closing, with an estimated value not specified separately but part of a 20-category highway supplies package); the City of Phoenix Water Services Department's IFB for water pipe and miscellaneous fittings, a five-year contract with multiple product groups and firm pricing for the initial contract year (sealed offers due February 19, 2026); and Volusia County's ITB for Materials for Water and Sewer Operations, requiring American-made metal items and AWWA-compliant materials for delivery to four utility locations, with a three-year initial term and optional renewals. Several utilities emphasize AWWA and ANSI standards compliance, American-source preferences where mandated, prevailing wage requirements in Massachusetts, and DBE participation or local business preference mechanisms.
