UNSPSC 40183004 HDPE plastic tubing is a Commodity code that state and local governments are buying as PVC pipe, conduit, fittings, and related materials for water infrastructure, wastewater, and utility distribution. Recent solicitations show Georgia counties (Gwinnett and DeKalb) and Florida's Palm Beach County purchasing PVC sewer pipes, conduit components, and fittings for maintenance, repair, and capital projects on multiyear term contracts and as-needed supply arrangements. Issuing bodies include county departments of water resources and purchasing, municipal public works departments, and regional water authorities. The scope spans PVC pipe and fittings (coupling types, sizes ranging from 3/4-inch to 6-inch), insulated PVC conduit fittings, PVC-coated metal conduits, and component hardware (elbows, rigid couplings, outlet bodies, hubs), all specified to meet ANSI, NFPA, and federal and state safety standards. Vendors must comply with product certification, delivery scheduling (FOB Destination Prepaid), unit pricing transparency, and for larger contracts, Davis-Bacon prevailing wage and E-Verify employment verification requirements.

Gwinnett County has posted two recent solicitations: IFB 138808 for PVC-coated metal conduits with a September 18, 2026 bid due date, and Informal Written Quotation 135859 for insulated PVC fittings and metal conduit components for the Lanier Filter Plant (due September 9, 2026). DeKalb County is soliciting bids on ITB 2026-118 for PVC sewer pipes, fittings, and related materials under a three-year multiyear contract, with proposals due October 7, 2026 on an as-needed basis for wastewater and storm drainage projects.
