UNSPSC 40175306: Pipe laterals

UNSPSC 40175306 Pipe laterals is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure labor, materials, and equipment for sewer lateral reinstatement, repair, and rehabilitation work within existing sanitary sewer systems. The code captures both the physical pipe laterals themselves and the specialized services required to install, replace, reline, and reinstate service connections in municipal water and wastewater infrastructure. Recent solicitations show work ranging from robotic reinstatement of service laterals following main-line CIPP rehabilitation to lateral trimming, sealing, and post-installation inspection. Issuing bodies include special-purpose water and sewer districts and county transportation departments; the Kearns Improvement District in Utah and Santa Clara County in California appear in the recent posting record, with the KID opportunity specifically focused on sewer-system laterals and the Santa Clara project encompassing broader pavement and infrastructure rehabilitation in which lateral work may be embedded.

Geographic activity centers on the West, with recent solicitations posted from Utah and California. The Kearns Improvement District issued an RFP on March 19, 2026, for CIPP rehabilitation and lateral reinstatement services, with proposals due April 9, 2026, and anticipated award April 23, 2026; the scope includes robotic reinstatement of approximately 65 service laterals in 8-inch diameter clay sanitary sewer, trimming and sealing of reinstated laterals, and post-installation CCTV inspection, with substantial completion targeted for November 2026. Santa Clara County issued an ITB on April 29, 2026, for the Central Expressway Pavement Rehabilitation Project with a May 21, 2026, response deadline; while primarily focused on pavement and traffic infrastructure, the project includes removal and replacement of inductive traffic loops and bioretention work that may involve lateral connections. Contractors responding to sewer lateral projects must demonstrate three completed municipal CIPP projects within five years, hold certified installation crews, and meet ASTM and state regulatory compliance requirements.
