UNSPSC 40172809: CPVC plastic pipe elbow

Pipe elbow made of CPVC plastic

UNSPSC 40172809 CPVC plastic pipe elbow is a Commodity code that encompasses water and wastewater distribution pipe fittings procured by state and local water utilities, counties, and municipalities for system construction, rehabilitation, and maintenance. Recent state and local solicitations under this code reflect demand for compliance-grade plastic and metal pipe fittings—including elbows, couplings, bushings, gate valves, curb stops, and related appurtenances—that meet American Water Works Association (AWWA), American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM), and NSF potable-water certification standards. Issuing bodies include city water departments, county water authorities, and municipal public works operations, which source these fittings as component materials within larger water system projects or through standing supply contracts.

Water utilities across California, Arizona, and Georgia account for recent activity under the code. The City of Phoenix Water Services Department issued a five-year IFB for water pipe and miscellaneous fittings (IFB260217, due February 19, 2026) encompassing 15 product groups with volumes ranging from 2 to over 21,000 units per item, requiring bidders to maintain local inventory and provide next-day delivery on captive parts and one-year warranty coverage. Franklin County, Georgia Board of Commissioners posted an ITB for water system improvements including booster pump station renovation (PE77589NONST2026000000005, due March 24, 2026) requiring furnishing and installation of piping, pumps, panels, variable frequency drives, and related appurtenances. Santa Clara County issued an ITB for the Central Expressway Pavement Rehabilitation Project (ITBRDAFY260694, due May 21, 2026), a highway project that includes utility work but shows limited CPVC-specific relevance to the code's core scope. Bidders pursuing water system supply contracts must typically demonstrate five or more years of operation, hold current professional certifications or licenses where applicable, maintain NSF certification and potable-water compliance, and provide performance bonds and general liability insurance at $2 million minimum aggregate limits.
