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, a Commodity code, covers specialized pipe fittings and components state and local governments procure for water and wastewater infrastructure rehabilitation, specifically high-density polyethylene pipe segments, quick insertion valves, tapping sleeves, and associated valve equipment used in pressurized and non-pressurized pipeline systems. The recent opportunities show that sanitation districts and county water utilities are the primary issuing bodies, soliciting these components as part of broader sewer mainline rehabilitation, pipe replacement, and water distribution system modernization projects. Santa Clara County Sanitation District No. 2-3 and DeKalb County, Georgia are the standout recent buyers, with Santa Clara County appearing across multiple infrastructure projects in the unincorporated eastern foothills and corridor improvement zones.

Recent activity concentrates in California and Georgia. The Santa Clara County Sanitation District No. 2-3 Structural Defect Repair Project Phase 2, posted August 26, 2026 with bids due September 17, 2026, encompasses 1,080 linear feet of 6-inch HDPE pipe for pipe-bursting operations alongside PVC replacement work and service connection fittings (ITB ITBRDAFY270088). DeKalb County, Georgia issued a three-year multiyear ITB for quick insertion valves, tapping sleeves, resilient wedge insert gate valves, and optional valve insertion equipment on August 27, 2026 (ITB 2026-034-ITB), soliciting materials for pressurized and non-pressurized systems. A third opportunity from Santa Clara County for the Central Expressway Pavement Rehabilitation Project (May 21, 2026, ITB ITBRDAFY260694) involved broader infrastructure rehabilitation but does not explicitly reference HDPE pipe components in the posted scope, suggesting limited recent activity beyond the two core water and wastewater applications in California and Georgia.
