UNSPSC 40101504: Ventilation dampers

UNSPSC 40101504 Ventilation dampers, a Commodity code, covers inspection, testing, and repair services on fire, smoke, and combination dampers in institutional and public facilities rather than the damper equipment itself. State and local governments soliciting under this code include state hospital systems, county boards, housing authorities, and municipal building departments. The work involves comprehensive damper inspections to regulatory standards (NFPA 105, 101, 90, and 80.19.3-4), testing and certification, and repair or replacement of non-compliant units. Issuing bodies range from large state health departments managing multi-facility networks to small municipal housing authorities operating single buildings or complexes; repeat buyers include state hospital systems and local housing authorities responsible for ongoing compliance in occupied residential and institutional settings.

Recent activity concentrates in California, Connecticut, Georgia, and Texas. The California Department of State Hospitals (DSH) Napa issued IFB Maint-26-42007-000 on June 18, 2026 (bids due July 16, 2026) for fire, smoke, and combination damper inspections and repairs at the Napa facility. The Housing Authority of the City of Hartford issued a Small Purchase Solicitation on February 5, 2026 (closing February 19, 2026) for fire and smoke damper inspection and testing across three facilities—Smith Tower (242 dampers), Betty Knox (140 dampers), and Administration Building (27 dampers)—on an as-needed basis. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission procured tamper-proof security grilles (an ancillary damper-related product) under IFB HHS0017002 in February 2026. Contracts typically award to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder meeting technical and compliance specifications; prevailing wage and insurance requirements are standard. No dollar values are disclosed in most solicitations, and contract terms run from several months to multi-year periods with optional renewals at the issuing body's discretion.
