UNSPSC 40101509: Ventilation spad

Materials used to hang ventilation materials in underground mining applications.

UNSPSC 40101509 Ventilation spad (Commodity) shows minimal relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope does not align with the posted opportunities retrieved under it. The one opportunity directly addressing ventilation equipment — the City of Augusta's ITB 26-177 for Energy Recovery Ventilator Repair at the Charles B. Webster Detention Center (response due October 9, 2026) — involves repair of two existing Trane ERV units with component replacement, belt and pulley alignment, electrical terminations, and sanitization, representing maintenance and restoration rather than new equipment procurement. The remaining opportunities tagged under this code involve unrelated work: water service line replacement (Town of Waterford Utility Commission), boiler and chiller maintenance (City of Charlotte), HDPE pipe and coupling supply (City of Augusta), bridge replacement (Orange County, Florida), bathroom renovation (City of St. Marys, Georgia), water treatment plant construction (Dallas Water Utilities), job order contracting for water and wastewater projects (Great Lakes Water Authority), school water piping replacement (Fontana Unified School District), and law enforcement equipment cooperative procurement (Sourcewell). This mismatch suggests the code is either rarely used in state and local procurement or is commonly applied to non-ventilation work.

Geographic activity, where present, spans Connecticut (Waterford Utility Commission, two similar water service projects), Georgia (Augusta, St. Marys), Florida (Orange County), Texas (Dallas), California (Fontana), Michigan (Great Lakes Water Authority), and multi-state cooperative procurement (Sourcewell). The issuing-body mix includes utility commissions, cities, school districts, transit and water authorities, and cooperative purchasing vehicles. The absence of active ERV procurement other than the Augusta repair and the code's heavy misapplication to water infrastructure, facilities maintenance, and construction work suggests low relevance and weak market signal. Pursue only if your firm specializes in energy recovery ventilator service and repair and can compete for maintenance contracts; skip if your focus is new equipment sales or if your capability set is general construction or mechanical systems outside that niche.
