UNSPSC 40141609: Control valves

UNSPSC 40141609 Control valves, a Commodity code, covers isolation, regulation, and specialty valves that state and local governments procure for water infrastructure, HVAC systems, and facility operations — with recent solicitations emphasizing large-format butterfly valves for water treatment plants, detector check valves for distribution networks, and control valves embedded in building management and thermal systems. Issuing bodies span water districts, county departments of water resources, transit authorities, state facility management offices, and municipal water services departments. The work solicited ranges from direct product procurement (butterfly valves in sizes up to 108 inches for filter plant clearwells and raw water systems) to integrated service contracts that bundle valve maintenance, repair, system integration, and technical support across networked facilities. Water utilities dominate the code's recent activity, with emphasis on AWWA-compliant butterfly valves, NSF/ANSI 61 certification for drinking water service, and manufacturer-specific documentation requirements; HVAC water treatment contracts layer in thermal system control valve maintenance, biocide rotation, corrosion studies, and emergency response. Prevailing wage, workers' compensation insurance, and comprehensive liability coverage are common contract conditions.

Recent activity concentrates in the Southeast (Georgia and Florida) and Southwest (Arizona), with secondary activity in California and Oregon. Gwinnett County, Department of Water Resources, posted two competitive sealed bids for butterfly valves at the Lanier and Shoal Creek Filter Plants, with the most recent (BL126-26) due September 23, 2026, encompassing double offset butterfly valves in four sizes with gearboxes and accessories, mandatory virtual pre-bid on September 2, 2026, and award to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder with potential line-item splits. The City of Phoenix Water Services Department issued a five-year IFB (26-0398) due August 18, 2026, for pressure and temperature instrumentation including diaphragm seals and remote indicators, requiring a local stocking distributor capable of same-day or next-business-day fulfillment and DBE-N participation. The State of Oregon Department of Administrative Services solicited HVAC water treatment services for hot and cold water systems across 24 DAS-owned facilities (RFP S1070000017049, proposals due October 5, 2026, maximum not-to-exceed $5,000,000.00, with Oregon goods and services receiving 5% price preference), and the County of San Mateo, Department of Public Works, requested comprehensive building management system maintenance and repairs (RFP 2027RFP00133, due October 30, 2026) including control system uptime and emergency response across county facilities.
