UNSPSC 20122361: Standing valve

Downhole valve assembly that is designed to hold pressure from above while allowing fluids to flow from below

UNSPSC 20122361 Standing valve, a Commodity code, encompasses valves procured by state and local governments for law enforcement equipment systems and wastewater treatment infrastructure. The recent solicitation activity shows standing valves appearing in two distinct contexts: as components within broader law enforcement equipment frameworks and as specialized retrofit components in municipal water reclamation systems. State and local buyers under this code include cooperative purchasing vehicles serving multiple jurisdictions (Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government unit), individual municipalities (City of Orem, Utah), and county governments (Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima counties in Washington). The code captures both commodities integrated into larger equipment packages and standalone component replacements supporting facility operations and maintenance.

Activity under the code spans at least two states with recent postings. Sourcewell's Law Enforcement Equipment RFP #061626, issued May 12, 2026 with response due June 16, 2026, establishes a cooperative contracting solution accessible to thousands of governmental agencies, higher education institutions, K-12 school districts, and public entities across the United States and Canada; standing valves would be available as part of this framework for participating entities throughout the jurisdictions Sourcewell serves. The City of Orem, Utah issued RFP2026SECONDARY on April 9, 2026 for Secondary Digester Cleanout & 24" Valve Retrofit, due April 30, 2026, specifically calling for a 24-inch valve retrofit as part of a digester restoration project at its wastewater treatment facility. These two postings reflect distinct buying patterns—one aggregated through a cooperative purchasing vehicle for multi-jurisdictional distribution and one localized to a single municipality's facility maintenance need—suggesting the code captures both cooperative and direct municipal procurement channels.
