UNSPSC 40174310: HDPE plastic pipe spacer

Pipe spacer made of HDPE plastic

UNSPSC 40174310 HDPE plastic pipe spacer (Commodity) is a narrow product classification that shows minimal recent alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged under this code involve procurement of HDPE pipe in bulk—typically sizes ranging from 1.5 inches to 36 inches in diameter—along with associated fittings, couplings, and related appurtenances for water, sewer, and stormwater infrastructure maintenance and construction. While HDPE spacers may be incidental components within these broader pipe-supply contracts, the solicitations emphasize complete pipe inventory, service-level agreements, and rapid delivery capabilities rather than spacers as a discrete line item or standalone product. The issuing bodies include city public works departments, water and sewer authorities, and county governments; the City of Phoenix Public Works Department has posted multiple opportunities for industrial pipe and fittings supply (IFB 27-SW-0447 and IFB 26-SW-0379, both three-year terms commencing December 2026), indicating repeat procurement activity at that jurisdiction.

Recent activity clusters in Arizona and Georgia, with secondary activity in California and Florida. The City of Phoenix has solicited supply contracts for HDPE pipe and fittings in September and August 2026, requiring 24- to 48-hour delivery and local inventory maintenance. The City of Augusta, Georgia posted an ITB for various HDPE pipe, coupling, and end sections due September 29, 2026, with one-year renewable terms and a local-bidder preference for projects under $100,000. The Douglasville-Douglas County Water and Sewer Authority (Georgia) solicited water and sewer pipe fittings and related materials via IFB 327 with a response date of October 7, 2026. Santa Clara County (California) and the City of Palm Bay (Florida) have active construction projects incorporating HDPE pipe replacement but do not target spacers specifically. The code itself appears overclassified for the actual procurement patterns; business development should treat this as a secondary component within broader HDPE pipe and fitting supply contracts rather than as a dedicated product line.
