UNSPSC 23153408: Fill test

UNSPSC 23153408 Fill test is a Commodity code covering water-treatment flow-measurement and flow-control equipment — specifically, venturi-type rate-of-flow controllers and butterfly valves paired as replacement assemblies for potable-water systems. State and local water utilities purchase these components to maintain or upgrade final-stage water-treatment processes where flow regulation and measurement from filtration systems to storage clearwells are critical. The City of Lubbock, Texas, the issuing body in the recent record, is a municipal water utility buying replacement equipment to exact ASTM, AWWA, and NSF specifications to ensure compatibility with existing actuators, piping space constraints, and potable-water safety standards. The work involves factory assembly, pressure-tap precision testing within 0.5 percent accuracy, stainless-steel throat liners, and epoxy coating for corrosion resistance in potable-water service—vendor scope ends at delivery and documentation; installation is the buyer's responsibility.

The code shows activity concentrated in Texas, specifically the City of Lubbock, which issued ITB 26-19653-YB on May 12, 2026, with a response deadline of May 27, 2026. The solicitation required sealed bids for a 16-inch venturi-type flow controller and AWWA C504-compliant butterfly valve assembly fitting within 46.5 inches of space and compatible with the existing EIM electric valve actuator at the North Water Treatment Plant. A non-mandatory site visit was held May 20, 2026. The bid document included local-preference language allowing the City to award to local vendors within five percent of the lowest bid on contracts under $500,000 and reserved the right to extend the contract to Frenship Independent School District, Lubbock County, Lubbock Independent School District, and Texas Tech University through interlocal purchasing agreements. No budget or award value was listed, and the source does not support activity in other states or jurisdictions beyond Lubbock.
