UNSPSC 40173408: PVC plastic pipe plate flange

Pipe plate flange made of PVC plastic

UNSPSC 40173408 PVC plastic pipe plate flange (Commodity) covers PVC pipe and related fittings that state and local governments buy primarily for sanitary sewer infrastructure rehabilitation and mainline extensions. Recent solicitations show water and sanitation districts procuring PVC SDR26 pipe in multiple diameters (4-inch, 6-inch, 8-inch, and 10-inch), service connection wyes, and associated fittings as part of sewer system point repairs, pipe-burst replacements, and new mainline construction. The work is highly specialized and driven by municipal infrastructure replacement cycles rather than routine maintenance. Issuing bodies soliciting under this code are county sanitation districts and county public works departments, with Santa Clara County appearing as a repeat buyer for sewer and transportation infrastructure projects.

Geographic activity concentrates in California, specifically in the San Francisco Bay Area and Santa Clara County foothills. Santa Clara County Sanitation District No. 2-3 posted an ITB (ITBRDAFY270088) on August 26, 2026 for the Structural Defect Repair Project Phase 2, requesting bids by September 17, 2026 for 326 linear feet of 6-inch PVC SDR26, 114 linear feet of 8-inch PVC SDR26, and 43 linear feet of 10-inch PVC SDR26 pipe, along with twenty-seven 4"×6" wyes, two 4"×8" wyes, and two 4"×10" wyes for sewer mainline and extension work in the unincorporated eastern foothills. The same Santa Clara County also posted an ITB (ITBRDAFY260694) on April 29, 2026 for the Central Expressway Pavement Rehabilitation Project due May 21, 2026, though that project encompasses broader pavement and roadway work rather than PVC pipe procurement specifically. The sanitation district work carries a sixty-five working day completion requirement from Notice to Proceed.
