UNSPSC 40175306: Pipe laterals

UNSPSC 40175306 Pipe laterals is a Commodity code that covers sanitary sewer service connection fittings and lateral pipe materials used in sewer infrastructure rehabilitation and extension projects. State and local governments procure under this code when replacing or installing service connection wyes, lateral pipes, and related appurtenances as part of broader sanitary sewer mainline repair and expansion work. Issuing bodies include county sanitation districts, county public works departments, and special-purpose drainage and wastewater authorities undertaking sewer system rehabilitation programs. The work involves removal and replacement of existing vitrified clay pipe (VCP) and cast iron laterals with modern materials such as PVC SDR26 and high-density polyethylene (HDPE), often coupled with mainline point repairs, pipe bursting, and new sewer extensions in unincorporated or developing areas.

Recent activity centers in California. Santa Clara County's Sanitation District No. 2-3 posted Invitation to Bid (ITB) ITBRDAFY270088 on August 26, 2026, due September 17, 2026, for the Structural Defect Repair Project Phase 2, which includes removal and replacement of twenty-seven 4"×6" wyes, two 4"×8" wyes, and two 4"×10" wyes as part of a sewer infrastructure rehabilitation program in the unincorporated eastern foothills. The project also encompasses approximately 47 linear feet of 4-inch PVC SDR26 service laterals across two mainline extensions on Chula Vista Drive, with completion required within sixty-five working days from Notice to Proceed. A second Santa Clara County procurement—ITB ITBRDAFY260694, posted April 29, 2026, due May 21, 2026—for the Central Expressway Pavement Rehabilitation Project between Bowers Avenue and Scott Boulevard, includes related work but appears primarily oriented toward roadway rather than sewer lateral scope. The Sanitation District opportunity represents the most directly aligned recent activity under the code.
