UNSPSC 40141606: Relief valves

UNSPSC 40141606 Relief valves (Commodity) describes specialized pressure-control valve components that state and local water utilities, corrections facilities, and county infrastructure departments actually procure for system maintenance, repair, and operational inventory. Recent solicitations show demand for branded resilient gate valves, tapping valves, and pressure-relief valve parts — typically purchased in modest quantities (dozens of units per order) and specified to exact model numbers or approved equivalents. Issuing bodies span county-level water departments (Gwinnett County, Georgia), state corrections systems (Texas Department of Criminal Justice), county infrastructure divisions (Riverside County, California), and cooperative purchasing consortiums serving multiple jurisdictions. Water resource and facilities maintenance drives most visible activity, with individual purchases ranging from single-unit to low-double-digit orders delivered on FOB Destination terms with freight prepaid and allowed to county warehouses or field sites.

Procurement activity appears concentrated in the Southeast and Southwest, with recent opportunities from Georgia, Texas, and California. Gwinnett County Financial Services Purchasing Division issued an informal written quotation (IWQ) on June 2, 2026 for twelve Mueller twelve-inch A-2362 RWGV MJXMJ resilient gate valves and twelve Mueller twelve-inch T-2361 tapping valves with a June 9, 2026 response deadline and delivery to the Department of Water Resources; Riverside County posted a Request for Bid on January 21, 2026 for Cla-Val parts warehouse inventory due February 13, 2026. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued a sealed-bid solicitation in March 2026 for plumbing parts (nominally under this code but sparse in specification). Award criteria emphasize lowest responsive and responsible pricing combined with quality, specification conformity, and vendor references; payment typically follows 30-day net terms contingent on legislative appropriation and fund availability.
