UNSPSC 40174308: CPVC plastic pipe spacer

Pipe spacer made of CPVC plastic

UNSPSC 40174308 CPVC plastic pipe spacer is a Commodity code that captures a narrow product category within pipe and fitting supply chains, though state and local procurement activity under this exact code does not clearly align with recent solicitations. The most recent opportunities in the source data tag procurement notices for industrial pipe, fittings, and related water and sewer infrastructure materials—but these opportunities reference HDPE, PVC, DI (ductile iron), and VCP (vitrified clay) piping systems, gate valves, quick insertion valves, wyes, tees, elbows, couplings, and fire hydrants, with no mention of CPVC plastic pipe spacers specifically. The City of Phoenix Public Works Department has solicited twice for industrial pipe and miscellaneous fittings (IFB 26-SW-0379 in August 2026 and IFB 27-SW-0447 in September 2026), both covering HDPE and PVC pipe with three-year terms, but neither references spacers as a line item. Similarly, the City of Augusta, Georgia (ITB 27-116, due September 29, 2026) and the Douglasville-Douglas County Water and Sewer Authority (IFB 327, due October 7, 2026) both solicited HDPE and PVC pipe, couplings, and fittings for annual water and sewer maintenance on an as-needed basis, with no spacer component identified.

State and local agencies sourcing under this code—when it appears in active procurement—would likely include water and sewer utilities, county public works departments, and municipal water authorities concentrated in the Southeast and Southwest regions, based on the Georgia and Florida water infrastructure activity visible in recent months. However, the source data does not provide explicit evidence of CPVC plastic pipe spacer procurement as a standalone commodity or as a line item within bundled pipe-and-fitting solicitations. Firms pursuing this code should verify whether state and local buyers are tagging spacer procurements separately or rolling them into broader pipe-and-fitting RFQs and IFBs; the current opportunity set suggests the commodity may be embedded within larger piping contracts rather than solicited as a distinct product line.
