UNSPSC 40183003: CPVC plastic tubing

Tubing made of chlorinated polyvinyl chloride CPVC plastic

UNSPSC 40183003 CPVC plastic tubing is a Commodity code that in recent practice encompasses PVC piping systems, conduits, and fittings sourced by state and local utilities and public works departments for water, wastewater, and stormwater infrastructure projects. The code sees activity from county purchasing offices and municipal departments acquiring materials on both IFB and quotation-based vehicles, typically on an as-needed basis for maintenance, repair, and capital construction. Representative recent solicitations include DeKalb County's three-year multiyear ITB for PVC sewer pipes, fittings, and couplings to support wastewater and storm drainage work; Gwinnett County Department of Water Resources' IWQ for insulated PVC conduit fittings and metal conduit components at the Lanier Filter Plant; and Gwinnett County's IFB for PVC-coated metal conduits. Palm Beach County is soliciting pre-qualifications for a term-contract vehicle providing PVC pipe and fittings purchase and delivery on a standing basis, with a 5% local preference available to vendors with permanent business location in the county or the Glades.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Florida. DeKalb County and Gwinnett County (both Georgia) issued multiple solicitations in September 2026, indicating sustained procurement cycles within that region. Palm Beach County (Florida) operates a pre-qualified vendor list for term-based PVC pipe and fittings delivery with rolling submission deadlines, reflecting an ongoing procurement model. The City of Southlake (Texas) solicited utility parts and supplies for public works in July 2026 with awards anticipated to multiple vendors. Most recent opportunities require vendors to meet ANSI, NFPA, and applicable state and federal safety standards, and several impose E-Verify compliance and prevailing wage requirements when federal funding is present. Contracts exceeding $2,499.99 or certain construction thresholds trigger worker verification and, in some cases, Davis-Bacon wage compliance.
