UNSPSC 40173908: CPVC plastic pipe rupture disk

Pipe rupture disk made of CPVC plastic

UNSPSC 40173908 CPVC plastic pipe rupture disk is a Commodity code that represents a narrow product category within industrial and utility piping systems, but state and local procurement activity under this specific code shows no direct recent matches. The code nominally describes a pressure-relief or rupture-containment device made from chlorinated polyvinyl chloride (CPVC), yet the recent opportunities tagged to it involve broader industrial pipe, water main, stormwater, and sewer infrastructure procurement — primarily for HDPE, PVC, and ductile iron pipe in various diameters, fittings, couplings, valves, and related appurtenances rather than CPVC rupture disks themselves. The issuing bodies span water authorities, municipalities, and counties across the Southeast and Southwest, including the City of Phoenix Public Works Department, City of Augusta, Douglasville-Douglas County Water and Sewer Authority (Georgia), DeKalb County (Georgia), City of Calhoun (Georgia), City of Palm Bay (Florida), and Santa Clara County (California). The discrepancy suggests that state and local procurement systems may apply this code to broader pipe-supply contracts that include multiple plastic-pipe materials and components, or that the code classification in the system does not precisely align with commodity-level specificity.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Arizona, with secondary activity in Florida and California. Representative solicitations include the City of Phoenix Public Works Department IFB 27-SW-0447, posted September 30, 2026, for supply of industrial pipe, miscellaneous fittings, and equipment on an as-needed basis under a three-year term with two optional one-year extensions starting December 1, 2026, covering HDPE pipe from 1.5 to 24 inches and PVC pipe from 0.75 to 4 inches with DBE-N compliance and small-business participation plans required; the City of Augusta ITB 27-116, posted September 10, 2026, for various HDPE pipe, couplings, and end sections for stormwater infrastructure with MWBE and local-bidder preferences and a one-year term with four optional one-year renewals; and the Douglasville-Douglas County Water and Sewer Authority IFB 327, posted September 2, 2026, seeking sealed bids for annual water and sewer pipe fittings and related inventory materials on an as-needed basis with a one-year firm-price term from December 20, 2026. None of these opportunities explicitly specify CPVC rupture disks; the code appears to be a miscategorization or a catch-all for plastic pipe supply contracts that span multiple material types and components.
