UNSPSC 40175208: PVC plastic pipe wye

Pipe wye made of PVC plastic

UNSPSC 40175208 PVC plastic pipe wye is a Commodity code for plastic wyes and branch connections used in municipal water and sewer infrastructure repair and replacement. State and local procurement under this code reflects ongoing sanitary sewer rehabilitation, mainline extensions, and service connection upgrades. The work involves removal and replacement of aging vitrified clay pipe, cast iron, and other legacy materials with modern PVC and HDPE systems, with wyes serving as critical fittings for service laterals and branch connections. Issuing bodies include county sanitation districts, county water departments, and municipal public works agencies, with regional water authorities representing the primary buyer base.

Recent activity concentrates in California and Florida. Santa Clara County Sanitation District No. 2-3 posted an ITB (ITBRDAFY270088) due September 17, 2026 for the Structural Defect Repair Project Phase 2, a sewer infrastructure rehabilitation in the unincorporated eastern foothills that specifies removal and replacement of service connection fittings including twenty-seven 4×6 wyes, two 4×8 wyes, and two 4×10 wyes as part of a broader mainline and extension project with sixty-five working days for completion. Palm Beach County Board of County Commissioners maintains an ongoing pre-qualified vendor arrangement (RPQ68026035BB11) for ductile iron pipe and fittings through May 4, 2031, though this focuses on iron rather than PVC wyes. A third recent Santa Clara County opportunity (ITBRDAFY260694) for the Central Expressway Pavement Rehabilitation Project posted in April 2026 is primarily a road construction project and shows minimal relevance to PVC pipe wyes. The code demonstrates activity in California and Florida but remains relatively narrow in scope within the overall state and local water and wastewater procurement market.
