UNSPSC 40174610: ABS plastic pipe tee

Pipe tee made of ABS plastic

UNSPSC 40174610 ABS plastic pipe tee is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under it show little alignment with ABS plastic pipe fittings themselves. Instead, the four opportunities flagged under this code involve substantial water infrastructure and pavement rehabilitation projects where ABS or similar plastic piping may be incidental components rather than primary deliverables. Santa Clara County is soliciting bids for the Central Expressway Pavement Rehabilitation Project (ITB ITBRDAFY260694, due May 21, 2026), a comprehensive roadway project encompassing asphalt overlay, PCC curb and gutter installation, ADA access improvements, traffic signal modifications, and bioretention basin installation. Three additional opportunities from Bryan County and Franklin County, Georgia, and the City of Tampa focus on water system construction and component procurement—booster pump station design-build (Bryan County, due March 31, 2026), water main extension along Interstate 16 (Bryan County, due March 31, 2026), booster pump station renovation (Franklin County ITB PE77589NONST2026000000005, due March 24, 2026), and Standard Class 125 flanged fittings (City of Tampa RFQ 26P00152, due February 25, 2026). The issuing bodies span county boards of commissioners, municipal purchasing departments, and regional water authorities. The opportunities are heavily concentrated in Georgia and California, with secondary activity in Florida.

Activity under this code reflects a disconnect between the nominal commodity (ABS plastic pipe tee) and the actual scope of work being purchased. The recent solicitations are major infrastructure projects—pavement rehabilitation, booster pump station construction, water main extension, and pump renovation—where piping components are subordinate line items within broader design-build or construction management contracts. If your firm supplies ABS plastic pipe tees or similar fittings as a bulk commodity, this code shows limited direct procurement opportunity; the work is being let as general construction services or design-build packages rather than materials supply. If your firm pursues water infrastructure or pavement rehabilitation work more broadly, these opportunities merit attention for their geographic footprint and timeline, but the code itself may not reflect your true commodity or service classification in these solicitations.
