UNSPSC 40101858: Inline steam heater low/medium pressure

Inline heaters make use of heating elements that are covered with a special type of vessel chamber that has anti-corrosion properties. This type of heating is indirect. The fluid is circulated through a closed loop around the heating element until it reaches the correct temperature

UNSPSC 40101858 Inline steam heater low/medium pressure, a Commodity code, shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned to its stated scope. The single relevant recent opportunity is the Harrisburg Housing Authority's IFB No. 2026-08 for boiler steam supply line riser repairs at John A.F. Hall Manor Homes, which involves inspection, repair, replacement, and restoration of steam supply line risers, associated valves, fittings, and related piping systems serving approximately 240 residential units across up to 24 building rows. Work includes demolition of failed components, installation of new steam risers using cast iron or Schedule 40 black steel piping, pressure testing, insulation, and site restoration. Housing authorities and other state and local bodies pursuing HVAC and boiler system upgrades and maintenance represent the primary issuing-body mix under this code, though recent solicitation volume appears limited. The Harrisburg Housing Authority is pursuing this work under HUD Capital Fund Program funding and is subject to Davis-Bacon prevailing wage requirements and HUD Section 3 employment and contracting provisions—a compliance structure that applies across comparable public housing and federally funded facility maintenance projects.

The Harrisburg Housing Authority IFB (IFB No. 2026-08) posted June 17, 2026, with bids due August 1, 2026, requires a mandatory pre-bid site visit between June 22 and July 10, 2026, and mandates substantial completion within 300 calendar days from the Notice to Proceed. The contract involves lump-sum bidding with itemized cost breakdowns, a one-year warranty on all labor, materials, and workmanship, and limits active construction to no more than three building rows simultaneously. Prospective bidders must contact Gary Deavers at (717) 443-0838 or GaryD@harrisburghousing.org; failure to attend the pre-bid site visit results in bid disqualification. Pennsylvania is the only state showing recent relevant activity under this code. Recent opportunities tagged to this code but unrelated to inline steam heating—including law enforcement equipment, emergency services, and HVAC replacement solicitations—indicate minimal active procurement volume specifically targeting inline steam heater products or services at the state and local level in the current cycle.
