UNSPSC 26131618: Poppet damper

A device used to control pressure, flow, or flow direction in an air or gas system. A poppet damper contains a weight or spring-loaded poppet device that opens when the pressure differential across it exceeds a predetermined value.

UNSPSC 26131618 Poppet damper is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The most recent opportunities solicited under this code span solar energy systems, electrical and emergency power systems, waste-to-energy facility design-build-operate-maintain services, microgrid and DC fast charger design, agricultural water well drilling and installation, rooftop wind microturbine systems, power distribution maintenance, and solar equipment maintenance and repair — none of which involve poppet dampers, which are control valves commonly found in hydraulic or pneumatic systems. The mismatch suggests either systematic tagging misalignment or that this code is not actively used by state and local procurement offices for its intended commodity scope.

The recent opportunities do show issuing bodies spanning municipalities (City of Tybee Island, City of Decatur, City of Pasadena, City of Dallas), counties (Fairfax County, Boulder County, DeKalb County), special-purpose authorities (Solid Waste Authority of Palm Beach County, Eastern Municipal Water District), and state-level cooperative procurement vehicles (South Dakota through Sourcewell), concentrated in Georgia, California, Colorado, Florida, and Virginia. Representative solicitations include the City of Tybee Island's RFP for 42-kilowatt solar installation (due November 3, 2026), the City of Decatur's RFP for microgrid system design and engineering (due October 13, 2026), Boulder County's RFP for agricultural well development with solar pump infrastructure (due September 4, 2026), and the City of Dallas's ID/IQ service agreement for solar equipment maintenance (due July 17, 2026). The code shows no relevant recent activity for actual poppet damper procurement.
