UNSPSC 23153414: Articulating lazy arms

UNSPSC 23153414 Articulating lazy arms is a Commodity code that in recent state and local activity covers replacement water treatment equipment — specifically rate-of-flow controllers and butterfly valve assemblies used to regulate and measure potable water in municipal water treatment plants. The City of Lubbock, Texas has posted an ITB for a 16-inch venturi-type flow controller paired with an AWWA C504-compliant butterfly valve, with cast iron bodies constructed to ASTM A536 Grade 65-45-12 specifications and Type 316 stainless steel throat liners, designed to fit within 46.5 inches and maintain accuracy within 0.5 percent of actual flow rate. The equipment must be factory-assembled and tested, delivered with operation and maintenance manuals, and compatible with existing electric valve actuator mounting plates. Issuing bodies under this code include municipal departments of water and utilities; the single recent opportunity identified is from a city procurement office.

The City of Lubbock, Texas issued ITB 26-19653-YB with a response deadline of May 27, 2026. The solicitation includes a non-mandatory site visit on May 20, 2026, sealed bids via the Bonfire portal or hand delivery, firm pricing required for 60 days, and F.O.B. delivered terms. The City applies a local preference for bids within five percent of the lowest non-resident bid on contracts under $500,000 and reserves the right to extend contract terms to other local governmental entities — Frenship Independent School District, Lubbock County, Lubbock Independent School District, and Texas Tech University — through interlocal purchasing agreements. Vendors must complete suspension and debarment certifications, comply with Texas Iran sanctions and Israel boycott provisions, provide three project references, submit a notarized non-collusion affidavit, and disclose conflicts of interest within seven business days of proposal submission. No budget or award value is specified. Recent activity is limited to a single municipality in Texas; the code shows sparse recent state and local procurement activity.
