UNSPSC 40173008: ABS plastic pipe half coupling

Pipe cap made of ABS plastic

UNSPSC 40173008 ABS plastic pipe half coupling is a Commodity code with minimal recent relevant state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific plumbing component—an ABS plastic pipe fitting—but the recent opportunities tagged to it show little connection to that narrow product scope. The Jackson County Utility Authority (Mississippi) posted a quote request on June 30, 2026 for materials to the South Central Septic Abatement Project with BABA certification required and a response deadline of July 8, 2026; the opportunity is RESTORE-funded but provides no detail on quantities, specific components, or contract value. The remaining opportunities in the dataset address water and sewer infrastructure procurement across multiple states (Massachusetts, Georgia, Arizona, Florida) but solicit comprehensive material packages—culvert products, water meter assemblies, particle counters, water pipe and fittings, booster pump station equipment—rather than ABS couplings or comparable plastic pipe components as a line item or standalone commodity.

Geographic activity is limited to scattered state and local jurisdictions: Jackson County Utility Authority in Mississippi, Berkshire County municipalities in Massachusetts (cooperative purchasing through BRGPP), technical colleges in Georgia, Gwinnett County in Georgia, the City of Phoenix in Arizona, Volusia County in Florida, and Franklin County in Georgia. The code shows no concentration among issuing bodies or repeat buyers. No recent opportunities specifically solicit ABS plastic pipe couplings as a standalone product or primary commodity. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the work actually being purchased suggests this code may not accurately represent current state and local procurement patterns for the product category it names.
