UNSPSC 40172711: HDPE plastic pipe cross

Pipe cross made of HDPE plastic

UNSPSC 40172711 HDPE plastic pipe cross is a Commodity code covering high-density polyethylene pipe fittings and connectors used in water and wastewater infrastructure rehabilitation. State and local governments purchase these components as replacements and extensions within sewer mainline repair, pipe-burst replacement, and gravity collection system projects. The code encompasses service connection fittings — wyes, tees, and similar junctions in multiple diameters — that join HDPE segments to existing infrastructure or branch lines. Issuing bodies are primarily county sanitation districts and county public works departments undertaking infrastructure renewal in unincorporated areas and transportation corridors.

Santa Clara County represents the recent geographic concentration, with two ITB solicitations issued in 2026. County Sanitation District No. 2–3 posted ITB ITBRDAFY270088 on August 26, 2026 with a response deadline of September 17, 2026 for the Structural Defect Repair Project Phase 2, which specifies 1,080 linear feet of 6-inch HDPE pipe for pipe bursting of existing vitrified clay and cast iron, along with service connection fittings including twenty-seven 4"×6" wyes, two 4"×8" wyes, and two 4"×10" wyes. Santa Clara County also posted ITB ITBRDAFY260694 on April 29, 2026 for the Central Expressway Pavement Rehabilitation Project between Bowers Avenue and Scott Boulevard, with bids due May 21, 2026; while that solicitation focuses primarily on asphalt and concrete work, it includes utility coordination and replacement scope typical of projects requiring HDPE fittings in subordinate work phases.
