UNSPSC 40172809: CPVC plastic pipe elbow

Pipe elbow made of CPVC plastic

UNSPSC 40172809 CPVC plastic pipe elbow is a Commodity code capturing polyvinyl chloride pipe fittings and segments that state and local governments procure as materials components within sewer and water main infrastructure replacement and rehabilitation projects. Recent solicitations show that this code tags materials (PVC and HDPE pipe in multiple diameters, wyes, and related fittings) embedded in larger construction contracts rather than standalone pipe-and-fitting supply purchases. Issuing bodies include county sanitation districts, county public works departments, and city or county water and sewer utilities managing aging infrastructure rehabilitation and capacity expansion. The scope spans removal-and-replacement work on gravity sewer mains, vitrified clay pipe rehabilitation, and water main line extensions, where PVC pipe and fittings are specified materials within unit-price or lump-sum contract structures.

Activity concentrates in Florida and California. Pinellas County, Florida issued ITB 260652ITBC in October 2026 for the Ridgewood Estates Sewer Improvements and 82nd Avenue & 113th Street Water Main Improvements projects, calling for approximately 500 linear feet of 12-inch PVC sanitary sewer pipe, 6,800 linear feet of 6-inch water main replacement, and associated service connections, with a response deadline of November 5, 2026 and a 10% SBE participation goal. Santa Clara County Sanitation District No. 2-3 posted ITB ITBRDAFY270088 in August 2026 for the Structural Defect Repair Project Phase 2, specifying 326 linear feet of 6-inch PVC SDR26 pipe, 114 linear feet of 8-inch PVC SDR26, 43 linear feet of 10-inch PVC SDR26, twenty-seven 4"×6" wyes, and related fittings for sanitary sewer mainline repairs and extensions, with a September 17, 2026 response date and a 65-working-day completion window. Santa Clara County also solicited the Central Expressway Pavement Rehabilitation Project (ITB ITBRDAFY260694, May 21, 2026 response date), though that posting does not detail PVC pipe scope and may represent a misclassification under this code.
