UNSPSC 40173907: PVC plastic pipe rupture disk

Pipe rupture disk made of PVC plastic

UNSPSC 40173907 PVC plastic pipe rupture disk is a Commodity code that maps poorly to recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally identifies a single component—a rupture disk for PVC pipe systems—but the actual opportunities posted under this code involve broad-based industrial pipe supply contracts, pipe material replacements in sewer and water infrastructure projects, and related fittings and appurtenances that extend far beyond rupture disks. The recent solicitations show demand for PVC pipe in sizes ranging from 0.75 inches to 4 inches in diameter, used primarily for water main relocation, sewer mainline replacement, and aviation ground-support operations, alongside HDPE pipe, gate valves, mechanical joint fittings, fire hydrants, and miscellaneous couplings and wyes. The scope is essentially catchall pipe supply and infrastructure materials, not the specialized pressure-relief component the code name suggests.

Issuing bodies span cities, counties, and special-purpose water and sewer authorities across the Southeast and Southwest, with repeat buyers including the City of Phoenix Public Works Department (two industrial pipe supply solicitations in August and September 2026), the Douglasville-Douglas County Water and Sewer Authority in Georgia, and local government water departments in Florida and Georgia. Geographic activity concentrates in Arizona, Georgia, California, and Florida, with representative recent opportunities including the City of Phoenix IFB 27-SW-0447 for industrial pipe, fittings, and equipment (due September 30, 2026, three-year initial term with two one-year options commencing December 1, 2026), the City of Augusta ITB 27-116 for HDPE pipe, couplings, and end sections for down-drain installation (due September 29, 2026, one-year term with four optional one-year renewals), and Sanitation District No. 2-3 (Santa Clara County, California) structural defect repair work including removal and replacement of vitrified clay pipe with PVC SDR26 at multiple diameters (due September 17, 2026). Many contracts require 24- to 60-day delivery windows, maintain local inventory, and impose firm fixed pricing across multi-year terms; DBE and local-bidder preferences apply in Georgia and Arizona jurisdictions where noted.
