UNSPSC 40183002: PVC plastic tubing

Tubing made of polyvinyl chloride PVC plastic

UNSPSC 40183002 PVC plastic tubing, a Commodity code, encompasses PVC conduits, pipes, fittings, and related materials that state and local governments procure for water, wastewater, utility, and infrastructure maintenance and construction. Recent solicitations show county water and utility departments buying PVC sewer pipes, fittings, and couplings on as-needed and multiyear contract bases; insulated PVC conduit fittings for filter plants; PVC-coated metal conduits for utility systems; and PVC pipe and fittings as standing supplies. Counties and cities issue most activity—Gwinnett County, DeKalb County, and Palm Beach County appear repeatedly as frequent buyers, though a city's Department of Public Works and a small water authority also solicit under the code. The work ranges from informal written quotations for discrete component sets to three-year term-contract pre-qualifications and ITBs for materials supporting ongoing wastewater and storm drainage projects.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Florida, with supporting solicitations in Texas and California. DeKalb County (Georgia) issued an ITB for a three-year multiyear PVC sewer pipes, fittings, and couplings contract with proposals due October 7, 2026, procuring materials on an as-needed basis for wastewater and storm drainage maintenance and infrastructure projects. Gwinnett County (Georgia) posted an IFB for PVC-coated metal conduits due September 18, 2026, and an Informal Written Quotation for insulated PVC conduit fittings due September 9, 2026, with delivery to the Lanier Filter Plant. Palm Beach County (Florida) opened a term-contract pre-qualification vehicle (RPQ 26-022/JS) for PVC pipe and fittings purchase and delivery, offering a 5% local preference to vendors with a permanent place of business in Palm Beach County or the Glades and accepting new vendor submissions through April 6, 2031. The City of Southlake (Texas) sought utility parts and supplies proposals due August 21, 2026, with anticipated awards to multiple vendors on a category basis.
