UNSPSC 40174909: CPVC plastic pipe union

Pipe tee made of CPVC plastic

UNSPSC 40174909 CPVC plastic pipe union, a Commodity code, addresses plumbing and piping components used in sanitary sewer infrastructure rehabilitation projects managed by special districts and county water and wastewater authorities. Recent state and local solicitations under this code focus on sewer mainline repair and replacement work involving PVC pipe, fittings, and related components. The typical buyer is a sanitation or water district managing infrastructure rehabilitation programs in unincorporated areas or county-wide service territories. Work scopes involve removal and replacement of aging vitrified clay pipe (VCP) and cast iron with modern PVC or HDPE alternatives, along with associated fittings such as wyes, service laterals, and connection components that require standardized union couplings and fastening systems.

Santa Clara County sanitation districts represent the visible recent activity under this code. County Sanitation District No. 2-3 issued ITB ITBRDAFY270088 on August 26, 2026 for the Structural Defect Repair Project Phase 2, a sewer infrastructure program due September 17, 2026, comprising thirty-five mainline point repairs, five pipe-burst replacements, and two mainline extensions totaling approximately 541 linear feet of 6-inch, 8-inch, and 10-inch PVC SDR26 pipe replacement along with twenty-seven to thirty wyes and service connection fittings across the unincorporated eastern foothills. A second Santa Clara County solicitation, ITB ITBRDAFY260694 for the Central Expressway Pavement Rehabilitation Project between Bowers Avenue and Scott Boulevard (posted April 29, 2026, due May 21, 2026), encompassed broader pavement and infrastructure work but included traffic loop replacement and signal modifications that may incorporate ancillary piping components. Activity is concentrated in California's Bay Area, specifically Santa Clara County, with opportunities focused on aging sewer infrastructure replacement rather than new construction.
