UNSPSC 40174803: PVC plastic pipe toilet flange

Pipe toilet flange made of PVC plastic

UNSPSC 40174803 PVC plastic pipe toilet flange is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under it show minimal alignment with the code's nominal scope. The four opportunities on record — spanning pavement rehabilitation, mechanical joint restraining devices for water mains, cast iron flanged fittings, and general water pipe and miscellaneous fittings — involve substantial infrastructure and utility-system components rather than toilet flanges specifically. State and local issuing bodies posting under this code include county public works departments (Santa Clara County), county utilities and infrastructure boards (Palm Beach County), and municipal water and purchasing departments (City of Tampa, City of Phoenix Water Services Department). The work actually being solicited ranges from highway and pavement rehabilitation labor and materials to purchase and delivery of pipe restraining devices, flanged fittings, and water distribution system components on firm, fixed-price or cost-per-unit bases, often under multi-year or renewable term contracts.

The recent opportunities cluster in California and Florida. Santa Clara County in California issued ITB ITBRDAFY260694 for the Central Expressway Pavement Rehabilitation Project with a May 21, 2026 response deadline, scoping pavement rehabilitation, ADA improvements, and related utility work. In Florida, Palm Beach County issued IFB 26-038/RR for mechanical joint restraining devices (estimated contract value $200,000 over twelve months, renewable) with a June 4, 2026 deadline, the City of Tampa issued RFQ 26-P-00152 for cast iron flanged fittings with a February 25, 2026 deadline, and the City of Phoenix Water Services Department issued IFB 260217 for water pipe and miscellaneous fittings under a five-year contract with a February 19, 2026 deadline. Set-asides and preferences appear selectively — Palm Beach County applies a ten percent SBE price preference and five percent local preference; Tampa identifies SLBE-certified vendors; and Phoenix applies DBE requirements under 49 C.F.R. Part 26. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope (toilet flanges) and the actual solicitations (infrastructure, water utility, and pavement work) suggests the code may be misapplied in recent postings or that activity under this code is sparse and inconsistently tagged.
