UNSPSC 40141602: Needle valves

UNSPSC 40141602 Needle valves is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local activity posted under it does not align with needle-valve procurement. The most recent opportunity—Collier County Board of County Commissioners' ITB 25-8357, posted March 24, 2026—solicits tires, tire services (mounting, balancing, patching, plug repairs, retreading), and emergency tire service calls for a fleet of approximately 1,610 vehicles across multiple vehicle categories. This mismatch suggests the code is either being misapplied in the county's procurement system or the taxonomy record does not reflect current sourcing patterns. No representative needle-valve solicitations appear in the recent opportunities block.

The Collier County tire opportunity is grant-funded through Federal Transit Administration grants and includes a Local Vendor Preference set-aside, with historical annual spend of approximately $400,000 on tire products and services combined. Bidders must be authorized dealers of at least four major tire manufacturers, comply with DBE participation provisions and Buy America requirements, maintain comprehensive insurance coverage including $1 million per occurrence Commercial General Liability, and meet performance response times as short as 30 minutes during business hours for emergency service calls. The contract term runs three years with two optional one-year renewals. Without additional opportunities tagged to this code, the activity profile for needle valves in state and local procurement remains unclear.
