UNSPSC 40173909: ABS plastic pipe rupture disk

Pipe rupture disk made of ABS plastic

UNSPSC 40173909 ABS plastic pipe rupture disk is a Commodity code, but recent state and local opportunities soliciting under this code actually call for industrial pipe, fittings, and appurtenances across multiple material types—ductile iron, PVC, HDPE, and polyethylene-coated products—rather than rupture disks specifically. State and local buyers in this category include city public works and utilities departments (Phoenix, Sarasota, Palm Bay, Calhoun, Lavonia), county water resources and utilities divisions (Orange County, Gwinnett County), and municipal water treatment facilities. The work ranges from standing supply agreements for pipe and fittings on an as-needed basis to project-specific materials procurement for water main replacement, stormwater pipe rehabilitation, and treatment plant upgrades. Buyers typically issue IFBs, ITBs, and RFIs with firm pricing requirements, strict material specifications tied to approved manufacturer lists or AWWA standards, and delivery windows ranging from 24 hours for emergency stock to 90 days for bulk orders. Contracts commonly span three to five years with multiple renewal options and include compliance requirements such as DBE participation, American Iron and Steel Act provisions, prevailing wage standards, and E-Verify employment verification.
