UNSPSC 40172611: HDPE plastic pipe coupling

Pipe coupling made of HDPE plastic

UNSPSC 40172611 HDPE plastic pipe coupling is a Commodity code that represents plastic pipe couplings and connectors used in water and wastewater infrastructure systems. State and local governments procure these components primarily as materials for water distribution, sewer operations, and utility construction projects. Recent solicitations show that this code sits within a broader landscape of water and sewer materials procurement; however, the specific coupling product itself appears in only one direct solicitation. Jackson County Utility Authority in Florida posted a quote request on June 30, 2026 (due July 8, 2026) for materials supporting the South Central Septic Abatement Project, with BABA certification required and RESTORE grant funding. The broader category of water and sewer materials procurement is active across multiple jurisdictions including water utilities, county departments, and municipal water services, typically bundled with gate valves, bypass spools, fittings, pipe, hydrants, and related infrastructure components in multi-item procurements.

Geographic activity is concentrated in the South and Southeast, with recent material solicitations from Volusia County, Florida; Gwinnett County, Georgia; Franklin County, Georgia; and City of Phoenix, Arizona. The City of Phoenix Water Services Department has issued multiple five-year IFBs for water pipe and miscellaneous fittings (IFB-26-0217, due February 19, 2026) and bypass spools and tailpieces (IFB-26-0112, due November 12, 2025), both emphasizing AWWA and ASTM compliance and firm, fixed pricing. Volusia County issued Invitation to Bid 26-B-42LS in March 2026 for comprehensive water and sewer materials with FEMA funding, American-made metal requirements, and local business preferences of up to five percent. Cooperative purchasing also drives activity; the Berkshire Regional Group Purchasing Program in Massachusetts issued a multi-category FY27 solicitation on April 19, 2026 (due April 2, 2026) that includes culvert products as one of twenty highway supply categories serving 32 participating municipalities. Suppliers pursuing HDPE couplings should monitor water utility RFQs and ITBs in Florida, Georgia, Arizona, and Massachusetts, where infrastructure replacement and rehabilitation projects generate steady materials demand.
