UNSPSC 40101512: Ventilation tube fittings

Connectors, elbows, tees and related items used to run ventilation tubing to locations underground.

UNSPSC 40101512 Ventilation tube fittings is a Commodity code that spans a broader scope than the code name alone suggests. State and local governments use this code to tag solicitations for water and wastewater infrastructure work—particularly the replacement and repair of water service lines, piping systems, and mechanical components in treatment and distribution facilities. Recent opportunities show purchasing bodies acquiring copper water service tubing, HDPE pipe and couplings, boiler and chiller maintenance, energy recovery ventilator repairs, and residuals-handling pipeline construction. The issuing bodies include municipal utility commissions, city water authorities, county governments, school districts, and special-purpose water authorities, with repeat solicitation activity from the Town of Waterford Utility Commission in Connecticut and the City of Augusta in Georgia.

Recent opportunities cluster in Connecticut, Georgia, California, Michigan, Texas, and Florida, reflecting geographic fragmentation across state and local water infrastructure investment. Representative recent solicitations include the Town of Waterford Utility Commission's IFB26014 for replacement of plastic water services with copper tubing on Rope Ferry Road (response due November 12, 2026); the City of Augusta's ITB 26-177 for removal and replacement of mechanical and electrical components on two Trane energy recovery ventilators at the Charles B. Webster Detention Center (bids due October 9, 2026); Dallas Water Utilities' CIZDWU26019 for ESWTP Residuals Handling Improvements Phase II, a $6.2 million water treatment plant construction project with residuals bypass pipeline, pump station upgrades, and electrical building installation (bids due July 10, 2026); and the Fontana Unified School District's solicitation for water piping replacement at North Tamarind Elementary School including 2-inch underground service lines, yard box and valve replacement, and cold water distribution to fixtures throughout the facility (construction cost estimate $250,000, bids due June 8, 2026). Connecticut projects routinely impose 25 percent small and minority-owned business set-asides on state-funded work; Georgia applies local-bidder preference and MBE/WBE compliance requirements; and Texas water utilities enforce prevailing wage, SBE participation benchmarks, and American Iron and Steel sourcing mandates.
