UNSPSC 40102004: Natural gas powered boilers

This commodity is a boiler that uses natural gas as a power source. Natural gas powered boilers have varying dimensions and weights, depending on the functionality (e.g. residential vs. commercial boilers). It is used for heating water or air, generating steam or storing hot water.

UNSPSC 40102004 Natural gas powered boilers (Commodity) covers state and local procurement of new gas-fired boiler equipment, boiler replacement systems, and related hydronic and steam heating components for facility infrastructure, as evidenced by recent school district, county, city, and state agency solicitations focused on equipment purchase, installation, and commissioning at public buildings and institutions.

State and local buyers include school districts (Pinellas County Schools in Florida, Liberty County Schools in Georgia, Klein ISD in Texas), county facilities departments and judicial systems (Escambia County, Dougherty County, Fulton County in Georgia; Pinellas County and Santa Clara County), municipal departments (City of Charlotte, City of Phoenix, City of Albany, City of Bridgeport, City of Napa, City of Madison, City of Shelton), state agencies (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, South Dakota Department of the Military, Texas Health and Human Services Commission), and special-purpose authorities (Solid Waste Authority of Palm Beach County). School districts and county courthouse/judicial building replacements dominate recent activity.
