UNSPSC 40172808: PVC plastic pipe elbow

Pipe elbow made of PVC plastic

UNSPSC 40172808 PVC plastic pipe elbow (Commodity) covers replacement and installation of PVC sanitary and water service piping in municipal infrastructure rehabilitation, as evidenced by recent state and local solicitations that call for PVC pipe in multiple diameters, fittings, and configurations for sewer main replacement, water main upgrades, and service lateral extensions. State and local water and wastewater agencies—primarily county sanitation districts, county public works departments, and municipalities—issue these procurements. Sanitation District No. 2-3 in Santa Clara County and Pinellas County, Florida have posted multiple infrastructure rehabilitation projects within the past six months that specify PVC pipe removal, replacement, and new installation as core scope items alongside related gravity-flow piping components.

Activity concentrates in California and Florida. Santa Clara County issued two recent ITB notices: Sanitation District No. 2-3 Structural Defect Repair Project Phase 2 (due September 17, 2026) called for 326 linear feet of 6-inch PVC SDR26, 114 linear feet of 8-inch PVC SDR26, 43 linear feet of 10-inch PVC SDR26, and 4-inch PVC SDR26 service laterals alongside VCP replacement and pipe-burst work; Central Expressway Pavement Rehabilitation Project Between Bowers Avenue and Scott Boulevard (due May 21, 2026) did not explicitly itemize PVC pipe but included general pavement and infrastructure rehabilitation.
