UNSPSC 40141618: Ball check valves

UNSPSC 40141618 Ball check valves is a Commodity code under which state and local water agencies procure check valves, gate valves, butterfly valves, and related flow-control components for water distribution, treatment, and storage systems. Recent solicitations show water districts and county water authorities buying detector check valves, resilient seat gates, swing check valves for pump stations, and specialized valves for filter plants and culverts—typically as supply-only contracts delivered to treatment facilities or storage infrastructure. The issuing bodies are predominantly county water districts and county water authorities in the Southeast and California, with Gwinnett County, Georgia appearing repeatedly across multiple informal written quotations and sealed bids since January 2026, alongside the Alameda County Water District in California and smaller municipal water systems. The code sees steady activity driven by routine valve replacement and capital maintenance at public water systems.

Recent opportunities include Gwinnett County's April 2026 IWQ for 60 resilient seat gate valves in 6-inch, 8-inch, and 10-inch sizes with mechanical joint connections, due April 3, 2026; Alameda County Water District's April 2026 RFQ for 24 units of 6-inch CLOW gate valves with fusion epoxy coating, due January 29, 2026; and Gwinnett County's January 2026 competitive sealed bid for 19 replacement swing check valves for the F. Wayne Hill Water Resources Center, due April 24, 2026. Activity concentrates in California (Alameda and Riverside counties) and Georgia (Gwinnett County, Douglasville-Douglas County Water and Sewer Authority), with isolated solicitations in Connecticut and Texas. Most procurements use informal written quotations or sealed bid processes with response windows of five to fourteen days; pricing is typically evaluated on a lowest-responsive-and-responsible basis combined with delivery time, specification conformity, and vendor quality and references.
