UNSPSC 40174505: HDPE plastic pipe swivel or rotating joint

Pipe swivel or rotating joint made of HDPE plastic

UNSPSC 40174505 HDPE plastic pipe swivel or rotating joint is a Commodity code that covers specialized pipe fittings used in water distribution, drainage, and utility infrastructure projects. State and local governments purchase these components primarily as part of larger municipal water, wastewater, and stormwater system construction and rehabilitation work. The issuing bodies sourcing under this code include county public works departments, municipal water authorities, and regional transit or utility agencies undertaking infrastructure upgrades. The scope reflects demand for swivel and rotating joints that accommodate pipe movement, directional changes, or connection flexibility in high-pressure or high-flow applications.

The most recent sourcing activity shows Santa Clara County posting an IFB (Solicitation Number ITBRDAFY260694) on April 29, 2026, for the Central Expressway Pavement Rehabilitation Project between Bowers Avenue and Scott Boulevard, with bids due May 21, 2026. While the primary scope encompasses pavement rehabilitation, asphalt overlay, curb and gutter installation, and traffic signal modifications, the project's drainage improvements—including new bioretention basins and stormwater infrastructure—indicate potential specification of drainage and conveyance fittings such as HDPE swivel joints. The solicitation requires physical bid submission to the County Clerk of the Board of Supervisors in San Jose, California, with a 142 working-day completion timeline beginning 30–45 days after Notice of Award. The source does not disclose a project budget, set-aside designations, or preferred-vendor criteria. Geographic activity appears concentrated in California based on this recent posting, though the sparse opportunity record under this specific code suggests limited direct solicitation visibility or that municipalities bundle HDPE fittings into broader materials procurement categories rather than carving out standalone component purchases.
