UNSPSC 40183004: HDPE plastic tubing

Tubing made of high density polyethylene HDPE plastic

UNSPSC 40183004 HDPE plastic tubing, a Commodity code, shows little alignment with recent state and local solicitation activity; the recent opportunities tagged to this code predominantly solicit PVC pipe and fittings, water main construction, and pavement rehabilitation—work that falls outside the scope of HDPE tubing procurement. The Palm Beach County Board of County Commissioners has posted two term-contract requests for PVC pipe and fittings (RPQ 26-022/JS) with pre-qualification-based vendor lists, offering a five percent local preference for vendors with a permanent place of business in Palm Beach County or the Glades and requiring compliance with Equal Business Opportunity Program requirements, E-Verify, Davis-Bacon prevailing wage standards when applicable, and federal safety compliance. The code shows no decision-relevant recent activity for HDPE plastic tubing specifically.

Recent opportunities mislabeled under this code reflect water infrastructure and transportation work across Georgia and Florida. The Notla Water Authority in Georgia solicited sealed bids for approximately 2,400 linear feet of six-inch water line installation (due June 18, 2026), while Bryan County in Georgia sought construction of approximately 14,350 linear feet of new 30-inch water main along Interstate 16 (due March 31, 2026), and the City of Hogansville, Georgia, issued an IFB for water service line replacement on approximately 266 services (due April 7, 2026)—all federal or state funded through American Rescue Plan Act programs and subject to Build America, Buy America, and American Iron and Steel requirements. Santa Clara County in California solicited a comprehensive pavement rehabilitation project along Central Expressway (due May 21, 2026, ITB). Bidders for water infrastructure work must hold state-licensed contractor credentials and comply with SRF, Section 3, and prevailing wage standards. The code does not currently reflect relevant HDPE tubing procurement activity; vendors in this commodity should monitor other UNSPSC classifications for relevant opportunities or await retagging of future solicitations.
