UNSPSC 40173609: CPVC plastic pipe reducing coupling

Pipe reducing coupling made of CPVC plastic

UNSPSC 40173609 CPVC plastic pipe reducing coupling is a Commodity code representing a narrow product line used primarily in water and sanitary sewer infrastructure projects. State and local governments procure these couplings as components within larger utility rehabilitation and replacement contracts. Recent solicitations show CPVC and PVC reducing couplings and related connection fittings — including wyes, saddles, and service line connections — specified as part of coordinated sewer main replacement, water main replacement, and septic abatement projects. Issuing bodies include county utility authorities, county sanitation districts, cities, and county governments pursuing infrastructure renewal. The work spans both heavy mainline replacement efforts using open-cut and trenchless methods (horizontal directional drilling, pipe bursting) and smaller service connection retrofits and extensions.

Activity appears concentrated in California and Florida, with recent solicitations posted by Pinellas County, Florida (Ridgewood Estates Sewer and 82nd Avenue Water Main Improvements, ITB 260652ITBC, due November 5, 2026); Santa Clara County Sanitation District No. 2-3 (Structural Defect Repair Project Phase 2, ITB ITBRDAFY270088, due September 17, 2026); Jackson County Utility Authority, Florida (South Central Septic Abatement Project, RFQ 3170036136, due July 8, 2026); and Georgia jurisdictions including Marietta (annual contract for water service couplings and valves, PE77023NONST2027000000714, due September 22, 2026) and DeKalb County (quick insertion valves and related fittings, three-year multiyear ITB 2026-034-ITB, due August 27, 2026). The Pinellas County sewer project specifies approximately 500 linear feet of 12-inch PVC sanitary sewer pipe with reducing couplings; Santa Clara County's work includes 326 linear feet of 6-inch, 114 linear feet of 8-inch, and 43 linear feet of 10-inch PVC SDR26 mainline with associated service connection wyes and couplings. Most opportunities are ITB or annual supply contracts with unit pricing or volume-based awards; typical contract terms range 65 to 380 calendar days with 5 percent bid bonds and 100 percent performance and payment bonds required on major infrastructure work.
