UNSPSC 40173407: ABS plastic pipe plate flange

Pipe plate flange made of ABS plastic

UNSPSC 40173407 ABS plastic pipe plate flange, a Commodity code, covers specialized pipe components and fittings used in sanitary sewer and water infrastructure rehabilitation — though recent state and local opportunities tag this code for projects centered on PVC, HDPE, and precast concrete pipe assemblies rather than ABS plastic components specifically. State and local buyers under this code include county sanitation districts and county transportation departments undertaking infrastructure repair and replacement work. The scope of work centers on removal and replacement of deteriorated buried pipe (vitrified clay pipe, cast iron) with modern plastic alternatives, including PVC SDR26 pipe in multiple diameters, HDPE pipe for pipe-burst applications, and service connection fittings such as wyes in various sizes. Related work encompasses mainline extensions, precast concrete manhole installation, and flushing inlets as part of comprehensive sewer system rehabilitation programs.

Santa Clara County accounts for the recent activity on record, with two ITB solicitations posted in 2026. County Sanitation District No. 2-3 issued ITB ITBRDAFY270088 on August 26, 2026 for the Structural Defect Repair Project Phase 2, a sewer infrastructure rehabilitation effort in the unincorporated eastern foothills encompassing thirty-five point repairs, five pipe-burst replacements, and two mainline extensions, with proposals due September 17, 2026. Santa Clara County also issued ITB ITBRDAFY260694 on April 29, 2026 for the Central Expressway Pavement Rehabilitation Project between Bowers Avenue and Scott Boulevard, with bids due May 21, 2026; while the project scope centers on pavement work, traffic infrastructure, and bioretention basins rather than plastic pipe, the code assignment suggests potential cross-tagging. The limited recent-opportunity set reflects narrow activity under this specific commodity classification within state and local procurement.
