UNSPSC 23153415: Automatic chassis decking

UNSPSC 23153415 Automatic chassis decking (Commodity) represents a significant mismatch between the code's nominal scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The actual work being solicited involves water treatment equipment — specifically rate-of-flow controllers and butterfly valves for potable water systems — rather than vehicle chassis decking. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its stated classification.

The City of Lubbock, Texas issued an Invitation to Bid (ITB 26-19653-YB) in May 2026 for a replacement rate-of-flow controller and 16-inch AWWA C504-compliant butterfly valve assembly for the North Water Treatment Plant, with sealed bids due May 27, 2026, at 3:00 p.m. The equipment must regulate and measure potable water flow from the final effluent filter to the clearwell, fit within 46.5 inches of space, and achieve factory testing accuracy within 0.5 percent of actual flow rate. The rate-of-flow controller must conform to a 0–144 inches water column flow range, match the specifications of the existing BIF model 0610 controller, and pair with a butterfly valve featuring a cast iron body (ASTM A536 Grade 65-45-12), Type 316 stainless steel throat liner, and compatibility with the City's existing EIM electric valve actuator. A non-mandatory site visit was scheduled for May 20, 2026, at 9:00 a.m. The City of Lubbock applied a local vendor preference for bids under $500,000 when the local bid fell within five percent of the lowest non-resident bid, and reserved the right to extend contract terms 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 specified in the procurement documents.
