UNSPSC 40183104: Tube cap

UNSPSC 40183104 Tube cap is a Commodity code that captures industrial and municipal infrastructure materials—specifically pipe fittings, couplings, and related components—sourced by state and local water, wastewater, and airport maintenance programs on an as-needed basis. State and local governments are buying HDPE and PVC pipe, elbows, couplings, tees, wyes, bends, gate valves, quick-insertion valves, tapping sleeves, fittings kits, and ancillary hardware for water main replacement, sewer rehabilitation, stormwater infrastructure repair, and airport ground-support operations. The issuing bodies span city public works departments, county water and sewer authorities, regional sanitation districts, and municipal aviation programs, with repeat activity from Phoenix Public Works and Georgia municipalities (DeKalb County, Calhoun, Augusta, Douglasville-Douglas County Water and Sewer Authority, and Lavonia).

Recent procurement activity clusters heavily in Arizona (Phoenix) and Georgia (Augusta, Calhoun, Lavonia, DeKalb, Douglasville, and Lavonia), with secondary activity in Florida (Sarasota, Palm Bay) and California (Santa Clara County). The City of Phoenix Public Works Department has issued two solicitations—IFB 26-SW-0379 (due August 12, 2026) and IFB 27-SW-0447 (due September 30, 2026)—for three-year as-needed supply contracts covering HDPE pipe from 1.5 to 24 inches, PVC pipe from 0.75 to 4 inches, fittings, glue, and hand tools; both contracts require 24–48-hour delivery from purchase order and DBE-Neutral (DBE-N) compliance under 49 CFR Part 26. The City of Augusta, Georgia solicited ITB 27-116 (due September 29, 2026) for HDPE pipe, couplings, wyes, tees, bends, and ells in sizes from 8 to 36 inches, priced per linear foot, for down-drain installation with a one-year term and four renewal options; all bids are subject to Minority and Women Owned Business Enterprise Program requirements and a local-bidder preference for awards under $100,000.
