UNSPSC 40174307: PVC plastic pipe spacer

Pipe spacer made of PVC plastic

UNSPSC 40174307 PVC plastic pipe spacer, a Commodity code, appears infrequently in recent state and local procurement activity. State and local water, wastewater, and aviation departments buy PVC pipe and fittings as components of larger infrastructure projects—water main replacement, sewer line rehabilitation, drainage system upgrades, and airport facility maintenance—but the specific commodity of "PVC plastic pipe spacer" does not surface as a discrete line item in the recent opportunities reviewed. Instead, PVC pipe in various diameters (typically 0.75 inches to 10 inches) and associated fittings such as couplings, elbows, wyes, and tees appear as part of broader industrial-pipe-and-fittings contracts. When PVC pipe is solicited, it is usually bundled with HDPE pipe, mechanical joint fittings, gate valves, and accessory materials under blanket supply agreements or as a component of construction projects requiring pipe replacement or installation.

Issuing bodies include city public works departments, county utilities and water authorities, county sanitation districts, and municipalities in Arizona, Georgia, California, and Florida. The City of Phoenix Public Works Department appears twice in recent solicitations (IFB27SW0447 and IFB26SW0379, both requesting supply of industrial pipe and miscellaneous fittings on an as-needed basis with three-year terms and two one-year options, responses due August 12 and September 30, 2026 respectively). The Douglasville-Douglas County Water and Sewer Authority (Georgia), City of Augusta (Georgia), County of DeKalb (Georgia), and Sanitation District No. 2-3 (Santa Clara County, California) have also solicited PVC pipe and related materials recently. Geographic concentration appears strongest in Georgia and Arizona, with activity also in California and Florida. The City of Phoenix solicitations explicitly specify PVC pipe from 0.75 inches to 4 inches in diameter alongside HDPE pipe and fittings, with delivery required within 24 to 48 hours, local inventory maintenance, firm pricing for the contract term, and compliance with Disadvantaged Business Enterprise – Neutral (DBE-N) requirements under 49 CFR Part 26 for Federal Transit Administration-assisted projects.
