UNSPSC 31371302: Zircon nozzles

UNSPSC 31371302 Zircon nozzles is a Commodity code that in recent state and local procurement activity maps to a much broader range of nozzle and spray equipment than the code name suggests. State and local governments are actively procuring specialized nozzles for mosquito control and water management applications, including jet nozzles for water distribution systems, hand-held spray nozzles for pesticide application, and high-precision rotary nozzles for truck-mounted mosquito sprayers. The issuing bodies include city departments (parks, public works, mosquito control), county water authorities, and municipal equipment services divisions. Scope spans both consumable replacement nozzles and integrated spray systems with nozzle components, as well as repair and parts supply for spraying equipment. Vendors typically must maintain local service capacity, stock parts inventories, and provide warranty coverage.

Recent activity appears concentrated in the Southeast and Southwest.
