UNSPSC 40172810: ABS plastic pipe elbow

Pipe elbow made of ABS plastic

UNSPSC 40172810 ABS plastic pipe elbow is a Commodity code that encompasses individual plastic pipe fittings and components used in water distribution, drainage, and utility infrastructure systems. State and local governments procure these items both as standalone repair and maintenance components and as part of larger capital projects involving water system rehabilitation, pump station renovation, and pavement and utility corridor work. The issuing bodies soliciting under this code include county governments, city water departments, and special-purpose infrastructure authorities. Water utilities dominate the recent activity, with city and county water services departments seeking fittings as part of competitive supply agreements or project-specific bids for multi-year inventory or construction support.

Recent opportunities span California and the Southeast. The City of Phoenix Water Services Department issued IFB 260217 in February 2026 for a five-year water pipe and miscellaneous fittings contract commencing May 1, 2026, with sealed offers due February 19, 2026, encompassing 15 product groups including elbows at varying quantities and requiring AWWA, ASTM, and ANSI/NSF compliance. Franklin County, Georgia Board of Commissioners issued ITB PE77589NONST2026000000005 in February 2026 for water system improvements including a booster pump station renovation with piping and appurtenances, with sealed bids due March 24, 2026, requiring a valid Georgia Utility Contractor license and certified Utility Manager. Santa Clara County in California posted IFB ITBRDAFY260694 in April 2026 for the Central Expressway Pavement Rehabilitation Project with bids due May 21, 2026, which includes utility infrastructure work such as inductive traffic loops and related components as part of a comprehensive corridor rehabilitation. Multi-year supply and cooperative-purchasing arrangements with water utilities appear to be the primary vehicle, with individual project bids as a secondary opportunity.
