UNSPSC 40174106: ABS plastic pipe socketweld flange

Pipe socketweld flange made of ABS plastic

UNSPSC 40174106 ABS plastic pipe socketweld flange is a Commodity code that sees limited direct solicitation activity in recent state and local procurement. The code's nominal scope — ABS plastic pipe fittings with socket-weld connections and flanged ends — appears in the abstract, but recent opportunities tagged to this code do not consistently reflect ABS plastic pipe products. Santa Clara County's Central Expressway Pavement Rehabilitation Project (ITB ITBRDAFY260694, due May 21, 2026) encompasses extensive roadway work including curb, gutter, and drainage improvements but does not explicitly call out ABS plastic pipe components in the documented scope. Palm Beach County's mechanical joint restraining devices procurement (IFB #26-038/RR, due June 4, 2026) targets ductile iron pipe (DIP) and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipe restraints across multiple sizes and quantities, with an anticipated contract value of $200,000 over twelve months, but does not reference ABS plastic pipe. The City of Tampa's Standard Class 125 Flanged Fittings RFQ (26P00152, due February 25, 2026) and the City of Phoenix Water Services five-year water pipe and miscellaneous fittings IFB (IFB260217, due February 19, 2026) both solicit cast iron and AWWA-compliant water distribution materials rather than ABS plastic pipe products.

State and local water and transportation agencies are the issuing bodies appearing in these opportunities — Santa Clara County, Palm Beach County, the City of Tampa in Hillsborough County, and the City of Phoenix. The geographic spread reflects activity in California and Florida, with Arizona represented by Phoenix's water services procurement. The mismatch between the code's nominal ABS plastic pipe scope and the actual products solicited — DIP, PVC, cast iron, and AWWA-standard water fittings — suggests that recent state and local opportunities do not substantively pursue ABS plastic pipe products under this code. Vendors targeting water infrastructure and municipal pipe supply should monitor whether category misclassification or a genuine absence of ABS plastic pipe demand in recent state and local procurement signals a low-activity period for this Commodity code.
