UNSPSC 40174503: CPVC plastic pipe swivel or rotating joint

Pipe swivel or rotating joint made of CPVC plastic

UNSPSC 40174503 CPVC plastic pipe swivel or rotating joint is a Commodity code that describes specialized plumbing and piping components used in water distribution, drainage, and infrastructure systems. State and local governments procure these components primarily as materials input into larger capital projects—most commonly water system upgrades, wastewater treatment facility construction, and pavement or roadway rehabilitation work that incorporates subsurface or surface drainage improvements. The code spans rigid and flexible joint assemblies designed to accommodate pipe movement, thermal expansion, or directional changes in pressurized or non-pressurized systems. Issuing bodies include county public works departments, city water and sewer utilities, transit authorities managing drainage infrastructure, and special-purpose water districts. The component nature of the code means it rarely appears as a standalone procurement; instead, it is specified as a line item or material requirement within larger construction or rehabilitation contracts.

Santa Clara County solicited bids on ITB ITBRDAFY260694 for the Central Expressway Pavement Rehabilitation Project between Bowers Avenue and Scott Boulevard, posted April 29, 2026 with a May 21, 2026 response deadline. The project scope—pavement rehabilitation, curb and gutter installation, bioretention basin installation, and related drainage work—would incorporate CPVC piping components as part of the stormwater management and subsurface infrastructure. The bid was issued as an invitation to bid (ITB) with 142 working days allowed for completion following notice of award. Bids were due in physical form at the San Jose County Government Center. Beyond this single posted opportunity, the source does not identify additional recent state and local solicitations tagged to this code, limiting visibility into broader geographic concentration or issuing-body patterns under UNSPSC 40174503.
