UNSPSC 40175209: CPVC plastic pipe wye

Pipe wye made of CPVC plastic

UNSPSC 40175209 CPVC plastic pipe wye is a Commodity code covering plastic pipe fittings—specifically wye connections in polyvinyl chloride and related plastic formulations—procured by state and local water and sanitation districts for sewer infrastructure rehabilitation and mainline extension work. State and local governments buy these fittings as replacement components in point repairs, pipe-burst replacements, and new sewer mainline construction, where they join service laterals to existing or new mainlines. The issuing bodies are primarily special-purpose sanitation and water districts, county water authorities, and county infrastructure departments. The scope of work involves removal and replacement of aging vitrified clay pipe (VCP) and cast iron pipe with modern plastic pipe systems, with wyes serving as connection points for residential and commercial service lines to the public sewer mainline.

Recent activity centers in California and Florida, with the most concrete recent opportunity posted by Santa Clara County Sanitation District No. 2-3 in an ITB (ITBRDAFY270088) issued August 26, 2026, with a response deadline of September 17, 2026, calling for removal and replacement of twenty-seven 4"×6" wyes, two 4"×8" wyes, and two 4"×10" wyes as part of the Structural Defect Repair Project Phase 2—a sewer infrastructure rehabilitation program in the unincorporated eastern foothills that also includes 326 linear feet of 6-inch PVC pipe, 1,080 linear feet of 6-inch HDPE pipe bursting, and two mainline extensions totaling approximately 358 linear feet. A second opportunity posted by Palm Beach County Board of County Commissioners on July 1, 2026 (RPQ68026035BB11) sought pre-qualified vendors for ductile iron pipe and fittings under a term contract extending through May 4, 2031; while that opportunity focuses on ductile iron rather than plastic pipe, it signals ongoing regional demand for pipe and fitting systems in Florida water authority procurement. The code shows active solicitation in California's Bay Area and South Florida, with work concentrated in sanitary sewer rehabilitation and capacity expansion.
