UNSPSC 40173305: CPVC plastic pipe nipple

Pipe nipple made of CPVC plastic

UNSPSC 40173305 CPVC plastic pipe nipple is a Commodity code. State and local governments buy plastic pipe fittings and components for water and wastewater infrastructure rehabilitation and new construction under this code. Recent solicitations show demand for PVC service connection fittings such as wyes used in sanitary sewer systems, as well as PVC and HDPE pipe segments for mainline replacement, extensions, and lateral connections. The issuing bodies are special-purpose districts and county agencies responsible for water and sewer infrastructure; Santa Clara County Sanitation District No. 2-3 and Santa Clara County have posted multiple opportunities in the recent window.

Activity concentrates in California, specifically in Santa Clara County in the San Francisco Bay Area, where two recent solicitations reflect ongoing sewer rehabilitation work. The County Sanitation District No. 2-3 Structural Defect Repair Project Phase 2 (ITB ITBRDAFY270088, due September 17, 2026) calls for removal and replacement of 527 linear feet of VCP and cast iron sanitary sewer mainline with PVC SDR26 pipe at multiple diameters, plus twenty-seven 4"×6" wyes, two 4"×8" wyes, and two 4"×10" wyes—the service connection fittings that fall within the commodity scope. The Central Expressway Pavement Rehabilitation Project (ITB ITBRDAFY260694, due May 21, 2026) addresses roadway improvements but does not reference plastic pipe nipples or related fittings in the documented scope. The Sanitation District opportunity represents the most direct recent match for this commodity code and reflects active demand for PVC fittings in sewer infrastructure rehabilitation.
