UNSPSC 40174804: CPVC plastic pipe toilet flange

Pipe toilet flange made of CPVC plastic

UNSPSC 40174804 CPVC plastic pipe toilet flange is a Commodity code covering a narrow product line, yet the recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code reveal a significant disconnect between the nominal scope and actual procurement activity. The four most recent opportunities address mechanical joint restraining devices for water infrastructure, flanged pipe fittings for municipal water systems, and comprehensive pavement rehabilitation projects—none of which center on CPVC toilet flanges. State and local governments appear to be using this code as a catch-all for water-delivery infrastructure components including ductile iron pipe restraints, PVC pipe devices, cast iron flanged fittings, and miscellaneous water pipe assemblies sourced through multi-year term contracts and blanket purchasing arrangements. The issuing bodies include county departments of public works and transportation (Santa Clara County, Palm Beach County), municipal water services divisions (City of Phoenix), and city purchasing departments (City of Tampa), indicating that water utility operations and maintenance drives most activity.

Recent opportunities span California and Florida with Arizona activity emerging as well. Santa Clara County's IFB for Central Expressway Pavement Rehabilitation (posted April 29, 2026, due May 21, 2026) is plainly unrelated to pipe flanges or water fittings. More relevant are Palm Beach County's IFB 26-038/RR for mechanical joint restraining devices in two lots—ductile iron pipe sizes 3 to 54 inches and PVC pipe sizes 3 to 24 inches with estimated quantities of 918 and 912 units respectively (due June 4, 2026, anticipated contract value $200,000 over twelve months); the City of Tampa's RFQ 26-P-00152 for cast iron flanged fittings in five line items including reducers, tees, and outlet flanges (due February 25, 2026); and the City of Phoenix Water Services Department's IFB for water pipe and miscellaneous fittings across 15 product groups under a five-year contract commencing May 1, 2026 (sealed offers due February 19, 2026, with a non-mandatory pre-offer conference on February 4, 2026). The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with CPVC toilet flange procurement specifically; current tagging appears to reflect either misclassification or a broadened administrative practice capturing water-system component sourcing under a single code.
