UNSPSC 40173509: CPVC plastic pipe plug

Pipe plug made of CPVC plastic

UNSPSC 40173509 CPVC plastic pipe plug is a Commodity code that maps poorly to the state and local procurement activity in the recent record. The source names CPVC pipe plugs as the code's product, yet the recent opportunities solicited under this code involve industrial pipe supply (HDPE and PVC piping in multiple diameters with fittings), fire hydrant backflow preventers, stormwater pipe rehabilitation and replacement, bridge replacement materials, pavement rehabilitation, and miscellaneous offsets, plugs, and pipe rests—none of which are specifically CPVC plastic pipe plugs. The City of Dallas has posted multiple informal solicitations (IFS) for offsets, plugs, and pipe rests across its Water/Material Services Division since February 2026, but these do not indicate product composition and do not restrict bidding to CPVC suppliers. The code shows no clear market signal; the disconnect between the code's stated scope and the actual work being procured suggests either mis-tagging by issuing bodies or that CPVC pipe plugs are a minor component within broader pipe-fitting and water-utility procurement categories.

Activity concentrates in Texas (Dallas Water/Material Services Division has posted five separate informal solicitations for offsets, plugs, and pipe rests between February and April 2026) and Florida (City of Palm Bay and Orange County soliciting for I-95 outfall pipe replacement, stormwater corridor rehabilitation, and bridge replacement; City of Phoenix posting for industrial pipe and fittings supply). The City of Phoenix Public Works Department's IFB 26-SW-0379 (due August 12, 2026) seeks three-year supply of HDPE and PVC pipe with fittings on an as-needed basis with 24–48 hour delivery and local inventory requirements. The City of Dallas, through its Water Utilities division, issued BC26-00029678 (due March 27, 2026) establishing a three-year master agreement for fire hydrant backflow preventers to nine service centers throughout the Dallas metropolitan area. Neither opportunity explicitly names CPVC products. Absent clear recent demand tagged specifically to CPVC pipe plugs, the code appears inactive for this product line in current state and local procurement.
