UNSPSC 40174611: HDPE plastic pipe tee

Pipe tee made of HDPE plastic

UNSPSC 40174611 HDPE plastic pipe tee is a Commodity code that designates a single water infrastructure component, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it reflect broader water main and pump station construction work rather than procurement of HDPE pipe tees as discrete materials. The Santa Clara County Central Expressway Pavement Rehabilitation Project (ITB ITBRDAFY260694, due May 21, 2026) encompasses asphalt overlay, curb installation, sidewalk replacement, ADA improvements, and bioretention basin installation; the Bryan County Booster Pump Station (sealed proposal PE77523NONST2026000000068, due March 31, 2026) involves design and construction of a four-pump station with 30-inch PVC water main and 18-inch reinforced concrete storm piping; and the Bryan County Water Main Extension (sealed proposal PE77523NONST2026000000069, due March 31, 2026) covers approximately 14,350 linear feet of 30-inch water main with horizontal directional drill and jack-and-bore operations. The City of Tampa RFQ 26-P-00152 (due February 25, 2026) solicited cast iron flanged fittings in multiple sizes for various city departments, and Franklin County, Georgia issued an ITB (PE77589NONST2026000000005, due March 24, 2026) for booster pump station renovation with new pump and piping installation. The code shows little relevant recent activity specifically for HDPE plastic pipe tees as standalone materials; the opportunities are large infrastructure projects where such components may be subsumed into broader construction scopes.

State and local issuing bodies pursuing water infrastructure work under this code include county boards of commissioners in Georgia (Bryan County, Franklin County), California county governments (Santa Clara County), and municipal utilities (City of Tampa). Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia and California, with limited Florida activity. Recent opportunities favor sealed-bid and RFQ processes, with pre-bid meetings and site visits standard for substantial water projects. Build America, Buy America Act compliance, Davis-Bacon Act adherence, and federal funding through Water and Sewer Infrastructure State Fiscal Recovery Funds and Drinking Water State Revolving Funds are recurring requirements in the Georgia projects. Performance and payment bonds equal to 100 percent of contract price are mandated for awarded contractors on pump station and water main work. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope (HDPE plastic pipe tees) and the actual solicitation content (full infrastructure projects, cast iron flanged fittings, concrete piping) suggests the code may be applied inconsistently or serves as a catchall tag for water supply system components and construction; business development professionals should verify scopes directly in solicitation documents rather than relying on the code designation alone.
