UNSPSC 23153415: Automatic chassis decking

UNSPSC 23153415 Automatic chassis decking is a Commodity code that encompasses water treatment plant equipment and potable water system components, specifically flow control and measurement devices paired with isolation valves. State and local water utilities procure under this code venturi-type flow controllers, butterfly valves, and related assemblies designed to regulate and measure water flow through treatment processes. The City of Lubbock, Texas has been the primary recent issuing body soliciting equipment in this category, targeting replacement and upgrade of municipal water treatment infrastructure at potable water plants.

Recent activity shows the City of Lubbock issuing ITB 26-19653-YB in May 2026 for a 16-inch venturi-type flow controller with a 0-144 inches water column flow range paired with an AWWA C504-compliant butterfly valve for the North Water Treatment Plant, with sealed bids due May 27, 2026 at 3:00 p.m. The equipment must be cast iron body constructed to ASTM A536 Grade 65-45-12 specifications with Type 316 stainless steel throat liner, factory assembled and tested to 0.5 percent accuracy, and compatible with the existing EIM electric valve actuator mounting plate. A non-mandatory site visit was scheduled for May 20, 2026 at the treatment plant, with RSVP required by May 19, 2026. The City of Lubbock reserves the right to extend contract awards to Frenship Independent School District, Lubbock County, Lubbock Independent School District, and Texas Tech University through interlocal purchasing agreements. Bidders must submit firm pricing on an F.O.B. delivered basis for a minimum of sixty days and include printed and digital operation and maintenance manuals; the City is tax-exempt and does not require insurance. A competing micro-purchase opportunity from the City of Philadelphia (B2626859) for OVA Storage posted in April 2026 with an April 24 deadline appears unrelated to water treatment equipment and does not reflect typical activity under this code.
