UNSPSC 40175401: Pipe stoppers

Lock type pipe stoppers are commonly known as drain plugs, and are used to temporarily seal the end of an open pipe, duct or drain during the pipe laying process.

UNSPSC 40175401 Pipe stoppers, a Commodity code, shows no relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The recent opportunities block contains 47 solicitations spanning water and wastewater infrastructure, trail construction, facility improvements, and emergency repairs across Florida, Georgia, Texas, California, South Carolina, and Connecticut, yet none involve pipe stoppers as defined by the code. The opportunities instead reflect major capital projects for water transmission mains, force mains, sewer interceptors, drainage systems, and related conveyance infrastructure where pipe stoppers would be incidental materials at most, not the primary deliverable being procured.

State and local agencies are actively soliciting infrastructure work through counties, cities, and special-purpose authorities—Pasco County, Orange County, Collier County, Gwinnett County, Flagler County, and transit/water authorities in Georgia, Texas, Florida, and other states. Solicitation types range across RFP, RFQ, ITB, and IFB notices with response dates from June through August 2026. The geographic spread is concentrated in Florida (Pasco, Orange, Collier, Marion, Brevard counties) and Georgia (Gwinnett, Cherokee County), with secondary activity in Texas, South Carolina, and scattered other jurisdictions. However, none of these procurements target pipe stoppers as a discrete commodity category; the code does not align with the actual work being solicited under these notices.
