UNSPSC 40173514: Aluminum pipe plug

Aluminum plug

UNSPSC 40173514 Aluminum pipe plug is a Commodity code that covers small-diameter pipe closure and connection components, though recent state and local opportunities show minimal activity specifically targeting aluminum plugs under this code. The recent opportunities block does not contain solicitations explicitly requesting aluminum pipe plugs; instead, the records name larger-bore HDPE and PVC pipe supply contracts, sewer mainline rehabilitation projects involving pipe bursting and replacement, bridge replacements, and outfall pipe replacement work. These solicitations reference pipe fittings, couplings, wyes, elbows, and related components but do not isolate aluminum plugs as a line item or call-out. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the work actually being solicited signals that this code sees little relevant state and local procurement activity at present.

Geographic activity is concentrated in Arizona, California, and Florida based on the available records. The City of Phoenix Public Works Department posted two successive industrial pipe and fittings supply contracts (IFB 26-SW-0379 in August 2026 and IFB 27-SW-0447 in September 2026), both covering HDPE and PVC stock for airport operations on three-year terms with optional extensions. The City of Augusta, Georgia issued ITB 27-116 for HDPE pipe, couplings, and end sections in September 2026. Santa Clara County solicited pipe-replacement work under its Structural Defect Repair Project Phase 2 (September 2026) and pavement rehabilitation including related infrastructure (May 2026). The City of Palm Bay, Florida posted an ITB for I-95 Outfall Pipe Replacement (July 2026) and an RFI for stormwater pipe rehabilitation along Malabar Road (June 2026). Orange County, Florida issued a bridge-replacement IFB in June 2026. Most opportunities are structured as as-needed supply contracts, ITBs for repair and replacement projects, or pre-solicitation RFIs; none explicitly position aluminum plugs as a procurement requirement or line item. Pursuit of this code is not recommended absent a specific opportunity directly naming aluminum pipe plugs as a deliverable.
