UNSPSC 24111835: LPG cylinder valve

A LPG cylinder valve is fitted the open ends of the cylinder. The valves close the open part of the cylinder. A way to allow the cylinder to be refilled also a port for the gas outlet. Valves can incorporate an integrated pressure regulator. They are designed in different shapes due to the different properties of the various gases.

UNSPSC 24111835 LPG cylinder valve is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local solicitations tagged under it actually target large-capacity storage tanks and associated equipment rather than LPG cylinders or their valves. The University of Southern Mississippi Gulf Coast Research Laboratory issued an IFB in September 2026 for ten 10,000-gallon single-wall noninsulated vertical storage tanks for filtered water storage and aquaculture system support, and the University of Mississippi posted an IFB for double-wall insulated vertical towers. The State of Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts issued a statewide IFB encompassing polyethylene storage tanks (500–1,250 gallon horizontal and elliptical models), nine vertical asphalt storage tanks in 8,000-gallon capacity with various electrical configurations, and ten 500-barrel frac tank trailers at 21,000-gallon capacity. The code shows little activity aligned with its nominal scope — LPG cylinders and their valves do not appear in the recent opportunities recorded under this UNSPSC tag.

Issuing bodies include two state universities in Mississippi and the State of Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts procuring for the Texas Department of Transportation. The University of Southern Mississippi's solicitation (IFB 9280-27-R-IFBD-00012) closed October 8, 2026, requiring FDA-compliant food-grade HDPE construction, NSF/ANSI Standard 61 certification, and FOB Destination delivery. The Texas procurement (IFB 304T-26-830A1.1) closed April 14, 2026, with statewide delivery requirements, 1.5% Texas SmartBuy administrative fee, one-year minimum warranty, and $1,000,000 per occurrence commercial general liability coverage. The recent activity spans Mississippi and Texas with no other states represented in the tagged opportunities. The mismatch between the code's nominal product category and the actual scope of work solicited suggests either misclassification by the issuing bodies or data quality issues in the UNSPSC assignment.
