UNSPSC 40172909: HDPE plastic pipe expansion joint

Pipe expansion joint made of HDPE plastic

UNSPSC 40172909 HDPE plastic pipe expansion joint is a Commodity code that covers high-density polyethylene pipe and related components used in sanitary sewer infrastructure rehabilitation and water utility pipeline projects. State and local governments procure HDPE pipe, quick insertion valves, tapping sleeves, resilient wedge gate valves, and associated fittings primarily through county sanitation districts, county water authorities, and county public works departments performing mainline repairs, pipe-bursting replacements, and sewer extensions. Recent solicitations show that jurisdictions are using the code to tag procurement for both rigid replacement pipe (specified by diameter and linear footage) and the valve and fitting hardware required to integrate HDPE into existing or new pressurized and non-pressurized pipeline systems.

Santa Clara County and DeKalb County, Georgia have posted the most recent activity. Santa Clara County's Sanitation District No. 2-3 issued ITB ITBRDAFY270088 (due September 17, 2026) for a Structural Defect Repair Project Phase 2 that specifies 1,080 linear feet of 6-inch HDPE pipe for pipe-bursting replacement, alongside removal and replacement of service connection fittings and mainline extensions in the unincorporated eastern foothills. DeKalb County issued ITB 2026-034-ITB (due August 27, 2026) as a three-year multiyear contract soliciting high-pressure and low-pressure quick insertion valves, tapping sleeves, resilient wedge insert gate valves, and optional valve insertion equipment for pressurized and non-pressurized pipeline systems. A third opportunity from Santa Clara County (ITB ITBRDAFY260694, due May 21, 2026) for the Central Expressway Pavement Rehabilitation Project did not explicitly reference HDPE pipe in its scope, suggesting some codes may be applied inconsistently. California and Georgia show the most recent state and local activity under this code.
