UNSPSC 40173007: CPVC plastic pipe half coupling

Pipe cap made of CPVC plastic

UNSPSC 40173007 CPVC plastic pipe half coupling is a Commodity code that represents individual plumbing and water infrastructure components procured by state and local water utilities, counties, and municipalities for routine system operations and capital projects. The recent solicitations under this code show minimal direct purchasing of the half coupling itself; instead, state and local buyers are acquiring this component as part of broader material packages for water and sewer infrastructure maintenance, replacement, and system improvements. The City of Phoenix Water Services Department, Volusia County, and Gwinnett County represent typical issuing bodies, purchasing water and sewer operational materials—including fittings, valves, clamps, pipe, and related appurtenances—through multi-year supply contracts and project-specific ITBs and IFBs. These utilities require materials compliant with AWWA, ASTM, and ANSI standards, with many contracts mandating American-made metal components and prevailing-wage or federal wage requirements when FEMA or state revolving funds support the work.

Recent activity appears concentrated in Georgia, California, Massachusetts, and Florida. The Berkshire Regional Group Purchasing Program (BRGPP) in Massachusetts posted a cooperative purchasing vehicle (FY27-04 Culvert Products, due April 2, 2026) serving 32 municipalities in Berkshire County. The City of Phoenix Water Services Department issued multiple five-year supply contracts—IFB-26-0112 for bypass spools and tailpieces (due November 12, 2025) and IFB-26-0217 for water pipe and miscellaneous fittings (due February 19, 2026)—both requiring five years of prior operation and local inventory capability. Franklin County, Georgia Board of Commissioners issued an ITB for water system improvements including booster pump station renovation (due March 24, 2026), and Volusia County solicited water and sewer operational materials through Invitation to Bid #26-B-42LS (due February 20, 2026) with local business preferences up to five percent and FEMA funding compliance requirements. Opportunities in this code are project-driven and routine, with emphasis on standards compliance, delivery capability, and multi-year pricing stability rather than on the half coupling line item alone.
