UNSPSC 40174504: ABS plastic pipe swivel or rotating joint

Pipe swivel or rotating joint made of ABS plastic

UNSPSC 40174504 ABS plastic pipe swivel or rotating joint is a Commodity code that sees minimal recent activity in state and local procurement. The single recent opportunity tagged to this code—Santa Clara County's Central Expressway Pavement Rehabilitation Project (ITB ITBRDAFY260694, due May 21, 2026)—does not reflect procurement of ABS plastic pipe swivel or rotating joints. Instead, the solicitation covers comprehensive pavement rehabilitation including partial depth recycling, hot mix asphalt overlay, curb and gutter installation, sidewalk replacement, ADA improvements, traffic signal modifications, and bioretention basin installation. The code appears to have been applied as a catch-all or secondary component tag rather than a primary procurement focus; the project scope does not center on piping materials or joints.

Santa Clara County issued this ITB as a general contractor procurement for a highway rehabilitation project, typical of county transportation authorities, with bids due in physical form at the County Government Center in San Jose. The work is scheduled for 142 working days commencing 30 to 45 days after award. No set-aside designations, disadvantaged enterprise restrictions, or budget ceiling was disclosed in the notice. The misalignment between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited suggests this code carries limited signal for firms specializing in ABS plastic piping products or components; state and local buyers tagging opportunities under this code are not actively sourcing these items as standalone goods or services in the recent market.
