UNSPSC 40173611: HDPE plastic pipe reducing coupling

Pipe reducing coupling made of HDPE plastic

UNSPSC 40173611 HDPE plastic pipe reducing coupling is a Commodity code that captures high-density polyethylene fittings and pipe components used in water and sewer infrastructure rehabilitation and replacement projects. State and local governments purchase HDPE couplings, wyes, tapping sleeves, and related pipe-fitting products as part of comprehensive water-main and sanitary-sewer system upgrades, whether through new construction, trenchless pipe-bursting operations, or point-repair programs. Issuing bodies include county utilities and sanitation districts, county public works departments, and municipal water and utilities divisions. The recent opportunities show a mix of large coordinated capital projects (multi-year sewer rehabilitation phases, water-main replacement corridors) and annual supply-on-demand contracts for water service components, with some solicitations structured as multiyear agreements.

Recent activity concentrates in California and Florida. Sanitation District No. 2-3 in Santa Clara County issued an IFB in August 2026 for the Structural Defect Repair Project Phase 2 (due September 17, 2026), which called for 1,080 linear feet of 6-inch HDPE pipe for pipe bursting and service connection wyes across multiple diameters. Pinellas County, Florida posted a two-step qualification and bid process in October 2026 (minimum qualification due October 13, 2026; final bids due November 5, 2026) for the Ridgewood Estates Sewer Improvements and 82nd Avenue & 113th Street Water Main Improvements projects, including 12-inch PVC sanitary sewer pipe and related accessories. The County of DeKalb, Georgia solicited a three-year multiyear ITB in July 2026 (due August 27, 2026) for quick insertion valves and tapping sleeves. The City of Marietta, Georgia issued an annual contract solicitation in August 2026 (due September 22, 2026) for water service saddles, couplings, clamps, and valves. Most recent solicitations use electronic portals (OpenGov, eProcurement systems) for submission, and contracts typically require unit pricing, performance bonds, and compliance with industry material standards.
