UNSPSC 40173509: CPVC plastic pipe plug

Pipe plug made of CPVC plastic

UNSPSC 40173509 CPVC plastic pipe plug is a Commodity code. State and local governments procure plastic pipe materials—primarily high-density polyethylene (HDPE), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), and related fittings—as inventory stock and as-needed supplies for water, wastewater, stormwater, and drainage infrastructure maintenance and replacement. Recent solicitations show that buying extends across supply contracts (multi-year blanket orders with 24–48-hour delivery windows and local inventory requirements), project-specific pipe material purchases tied to sewer mainline repairs and extensions, and outfall pipe replacement initiatives. Issuing bodies include city public works departments (Phoenix, Palm Bay), county sanitation and public-works agencies (Santa Clara County, Orange County), and municipal utilities managing airports (Phoenix Aviation Department) and drainage systems. The mix reflects infrastructure repair and renewal activity distributed across general-purpose city procurement, county water and stormwater management, and special-purpose sanitation districts.

Recent activity concentrates in Arizona, California, Georgia, and Florida. The City of Phoenix Public Works Department has issued two successive IFBs (IFB 26-SW-0379 in August 2026 and IFB 27-SW-0447 in September 2026) for three-year industrial-pipe supply contracts covering HDPE (1.5 to 24 inches) and PVC (0.75 to 4 inches) pipe, elbows, couplings, glue, and hand tools, with offers due September 30, 2026. The City of Augusta, Georgia solicited bids under ITB 27-116 for HDPE pipe, couplings, and end sections (8 to 36 inches diameter) for down-drain installation with bids due September 29, 2026. Santa Clara County's Sanitation District No. 2-3 issued an ITB for sewer infrastructure rehabilitation (Structural Defect Repair Project Phase 2) requiring removal and replacement of existing clay and cast-iron pipe with PVC SDR26 and HDPE materials, proposals due September 17, 2026. These opportunities reflect active demand for inventory supply-chain contracts with rapid-response delivery and for project-embedded pipe materials specified to water and wastewater standards.
