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 under which state and local governments procure PVC piping materials and related fittings for sanitary sewer infrastructure repair, replacement, and extension projects. The scope of work encompasses removal and replacement of aging vitrified clay pipe (VCP) and cast iron with PVC SDR26 pipe at various diameters, installation of service connection fittings such as wyes, and support materials including precast concrete manholes and flushing inlets. Counties and special-purpose sanitation districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with recent activity driven by aging sewer infrastructure rehabilitation programs requiring point repairs, pipe-burst replacements, and mainline extensions.

Santa Clara County and its subordinate sanitation districts represent the primary recent solicitation activity under this code. County Sanitation District No. 2-3 in Santa Clara County posted ITB ITBRDAFY270088 on August 26, 2026, for the Structural Defect Repair Project Phase 2, soliciting bids for thirty-five sanitary sewer mainline point repairs, five pipe-burst replacements, and two mainline extensions requiring a total of 326 linear feet of 6-inch PVC SDR26, 114 linear feet of 8-inch PVC SDR26, and 43 linear feet of 10-inch PVC SDR26 pipe, with proposals due September 17, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. to the County Government Center in San Jose. The District requires sixty-five working days to project completion from Notice to Proceed. Geographic activity is concentrated in California, specifically Santa Clara County's unincorporated eastern foothills; the recent opportunities block does not support characterization of procurement activity in other states or regions.
