UNSPSC 40172907: CPVC plastic pipe expansion joint

Pipe expansion joint made of CPVC plastic

UNSPSC 40172907 CPVC plastic pipe expansion joint is a Commodity code covering specialized piping components used in infrastructure projects where thermal expansion and contraction demand controlled movement capacity. State and local governments procure these components as part of broader pavement rehabilitation, water system, and utility installation projects rather than as standalone material purchases. The code attracts general contractors and specialized infrastructure firms bidding on comprehensive roadway and utility work that incorporates expansion joint systems into larger capital projects. Issuing bodies include county transportation and public works departments managing major rehabilitation initiatives.

Santa Clara County posted an IFB (ITBRDAFY260694) on April 29, 2026 for the Central Expressway Pavement Rehabilitation Project between Bowers Avenue and Scott Boulevard, with bids due May 21, 2026. The project scope encompasses pavement rehabilitation, asphalt overlay, curb and gutter installation, sidewalk replacement, ADA access improvements, traffic signal modifications, and bioretention basin installation across an extended corridor in the San Jose area. The 142 working-day completion timeline begins 30 to 45 days after Notice of Award. The solicitation does not identify a project budget, set-aside designations, or incumbent vendor requirements. Physical bid submission to the County Clerk of the Board of Supervisors is mandatory; electronic bids are not accepted. Activity under this code remains limited in the recent state and local market; the Central Expressway project represents the primary visible opportunity for CPVC expansion joint procurement at the state and local level in the current cycle.
