UNSPSC 31251509: Electromagnetic actuators

UNSPSC 31251509 Electromagnetic actuators is a Commodity code that covers proprietary and standardized hydraulic and electric actuators, positioners, and control systems procured by state and local water, wastewater, and utility authorities to operate isolation valves, flow control equipment, and process automation at treatment facilities. State and local governments buy these devices when they need to standardize control equipment, replace aging manual operators, comply with environmental discharge regulations, or maintain critical infrastructure across multiple facility locations. The issuing bodies are primarily city water and wastewater utilities and county wastewater treatment authorities, with particular activity in Florida and the Southwest, purchasing both single units for emergency repairs and multi-unit contracts covering four- to five-year periods with standardized technical specifications and warranty provisions.

The geographic footprint spans Florida, Arizona, Georgia, and Texas, with standout recent activity in Florida (Plant City and Seminole County) and Arizona (Phoenix Water Services). Representative recent opportunities include the City of Plant City, Florida's notice of intent to sole source REXA X3R10000-90-C-P actuators for $29,580 (IFB 26-038UM-NOI, posted August 3, 2026, with responses due April 14, 2026) to replace outdated control valves at the Water Reclamation Facility and Wastewater Treatment Plant; Seminole County, Florida's sole-source procurement of REXA actuator replacement and repair parts for wastewater operations (SS5253, responses due June 1, 2026); the City of Phoenix Water Services Department's competitive sealed bid for electric actuators, parts, valves, gearboxes, and related software under a four-and-one-half-year contract commencing September 1, 2026 (IFB-26-0343, offers due June 4, 2026); and the City of Austin Purchasing Office's request for quotes on two units of a Fisher Rosemount DVC 6200 microprocessor-based positioner (IFQ 1100 BAS1093, due June 16, 2026). Approved manufacturers in recent procurements include REXA, Fisher Rosemount, Asahi/America, Badger Meter, Emerson, Flowserve, Limitorque, and US Koei Technologies. Equipment must typically comply with AWWA, NSF/ANSI, IEEE, NEMA, IEC, and UL standards and operate across wide temperature ranges in outdoor utility service.
