UNSPSC 40172906: PVC plastic pipe expansion joint

Pipe expansion joint made of PVC plastic

UNSPSC 40172906 PVC plastic pipe expansion joint is a Commodity code covering specialized piping components used in infrastructure rehabilitation and construction projects. State and local governments procure these expansion joints primarily as materials components within larger pavement and utility infrastructure projects rather than as standalone supplies. The recent solicitation activity under this code reflects demand from county transportation and public works agencies undertaking comprehensive roadway rehabilitation that incorporates drainage, utility, and structural improvements alongside primary pavement work. Issuing bodies include county public works departments and transportation agencies managing capital improvement projects on regional corridors and local roadways.

Santa Clara County issued an Invitation to Bid (ITB) on April 29, 2026 for the Central Expressway Pavement Rehabilitation Project between Bowers Avenue and Scott Boulevard (Solicitation Number ITBRDAFY260694), with bids due May 21, 2026. The project scope encompasses partial depth recycling, hot mix asphalt overlay, pavement repairs, Portland cement concrete curb and gutter installation, sidewalk and curb ramp replacement, ADA access improvements, bioretention basin installation, traffic signal modifications, and related work — a context in which expansion joints support utility line protection and pavement structural integrity. The County required physical bid submission to the County Government Center in San Jose; electronic bids were not accepted. Completion was to be achieved within 142 working days from the first charged day, anticipated 30 to 45 days after Notice of Award. The solicitation disclosed no set-aside designations, budget ceiling, or incumbent vendor requirements. Recent activity under the code shows limited geographic spread, with California (specifically the Bay Area) represented in the disclosed opportunity block.
