UNSPSC 40172811: HDPE plastic pipe elbow

Pipe elbow made of HDPE plastic

UNSPSC 40172811 HDPE plastic pipe elbow, a Commodity code, covers plastic pipe fittings and related components that state and local governments procure as materials and supplies for water infrastructure maintenance, pavement rehabilitation, and utility system improvements. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers purchasing HDPE elbows and related plastic pipe fittings as components within broader infrastructure projects—specifically, water system supply contracts for routine maintenance and capital renovation work. The issuing bodies include county public works departments, municipal water utilities, and special-purpose districts. A five-year water pipe and miscellaneous fittings contract from the City of Phoenix Water Services Department illustrates the scope: bidders supply 15 product groups including elbows, bushings, couplings, flanges, and other fittings for use in daily water system operations, with quantities ranging from 2 specialized units to over 21,000 units, and all materials must meet AWWA, ASTM, and ANSI standards including NSF potable water certifications. Contractors must maintain local inventory for next-day delivery, hold a minimum five-year operating history, and provide one-year warranties.

Recent activity spans California, Arizona, and Georgia. Santa Clara County (California) posted an IFB on April 29, 2026, for the Central Expressway Pavement Rehabilitation Project (due May 21, 2026), which includes incidental pipe fittings as part of comprehensive asphalt overlay and drainage improvements; the City of Phoenix Water Services Department posted an IFB on February 23, 2026, for a five-year water pipe and miscellaneous fittings supply contract (due February 19, 2026); and Franklin County, Georgia Board of Commissioners posted an ITB on February 18, 2026, for water system improvements including a booster pump station renovation with piping and related equipment (due March 24, 2026). The code sees most recent activity among municipal water utilities and county infrastructure departments in the Southwest and Southeast, with water supply contracts representing the primary procurement focus over the past four months.
