UNSPSC 40173006: PVC plastic pipe half coupling

Pipe half coupling made of PVC plastic

UNSPSC 40173006 PVC plastic pipe half coupling is a Commodity code that captures discrete plumbing and pipe fittings used in water and sewer infrastructure operations across state and local jurisdictions. Recent opportunities show that state and local buyers are purchasing PVC half couplings and related pipe components as part of broader materials procurements for water distribution, wastewater treatment, utility operations, and septic abatement work. The issuing bodies soliciting under or near this code include utility authorities (Jackson County Utility Authority), county water departments (Gwinnett County Department of Water Resources), municipal water services (City of Phoenix), county utility systems (Volusia County, Franklin County, Georgia), and regional water planning bodies. The work spans routine parts supply for maintenance and operations, emergency replacement of aging equipment, and capital projects involving system upgrades or remediation.

Recent opportunities posted through late June 2026 show geographic concentration in the Southeast and Southwest. Jackson County Utility Authority (Florida/Georgia region) posted a materials quote request for the South Central Septic Abatement Project due July 8, 2026, with BABA certification required and RESTORE grant funding. The City of Phoenix Water Services Department issued two five-year supply contracts for water infrastructure components: IFB260217 for water pipe and miscellaneous fittings with sealed offers due February 19, 2026, and IFB260112 for bypass spools and tailpieces due November 12, 2025, both supporting meter assemblies and water system operations. Volusia County (Florida) solicited materials for water and sewer operations through ITB #26-B-42LS with electronic responses due February 4, 2026, requiring AWWA-compliant components and American-made metals, funded under FEMA assistance. Franklin County, Georgia issued an ITB for water system improvements—a booster pump station renovation with sealed bids due March 24, 2026. The Berkshire Regional Group Purchasing Program (Massachusetts) included culvert products in a twenty-category cooperative purchasing vehicle for July 2026 through June 2027, with bids due April 2, 2026. No recent activity directly naming PVC half couplings as a line item appears in the source; the code shows tangential relevance to larger water and sewer materials procurements rather than discrete demand for the commodity itself.
