UNSPSC 40173307: HDPE plastic pipe nipple

Pipe nipple made of HDPE plastic

UNSPSC 40173307 HDPE plastic pipe nipple is a Commodity code that encompasses small-diameter plastic pipe fittings used in water, drainage, and utility applications across municipal infrastructure projects. State and local procurement under this code reflects its role as a component material in larger construction and maintenance initiatives rather than a standalone product category. The issuing bodies soliciting supplies tagged to this code include county transportation and public works departments undertaking pavement rehabilitation, drainage system upgrades, and related infrastructure improvements. The code appears in mixed-scope solicitations where HDPE nipple fittings are specified as part of comprehensive material packages for construction projects.

Santa Clara County recently posted an ITB for the Central Expressway Pavement Rehabilitation Project between Bowers Avenue and Scott Boulevard (ITBRDAFY260694), due May 21, 2026, which includes installation of bioretention basins and drainage system work alongside pavement, curb, and traffic signal improvements. This project illustrates typical procurement patterns: HDPE fittings are specified as components within larger infrastructure rehabilitation scopes rather than as discrete line items. California shows recent activity under the code; geographic spread beyond that is not evident in the available opportunities. The sparse recent solicitation record suggests this Commodity code sees limited standalone visibility in state and local RFP and ITB notices, appearing instead as a subordinate specification within broader construction and drainage system projects.
