UNSPSC 40141619: Butterfly lug pattern valves

UNSPSC 40141619 Butterfly lug pattern valves, a Commodity code, covers the procurement of butterfly valves and associated equipment for water treatment and distribution infrastructure. State and local governments buy these valves primarily for treatment plant rehabilitation, flow control, raw water intake applications, and routine water system maintenance and replacement. Recent solicitations show two overlapping patterns: large-scale treatment plant projects requiring removal and replacement of multiple butterfly valve units with electric actuators and SCADA integration, and smaller-quantity routine purchases of resilient gate valves, ball valves, and specialty valve components for water mains and system upkeep. Issuing bodies include water utilities (Long Beach Public Utilities Department, West Travis County Public Utility Agency, City of Austin), municipal water departments (City of Lubbock, City of Dallas, Alameda County Water District), and county water agencies (Gwinnett County, City of Marietta). The City of Tampa's sole-source procurement to Flotech, Inc. for Limitorque valves and repair services signals that some jurisdictions rely on manufacturer-authorized distributors for specialized OEM parts and off-site repair, though most competitive solicitations remain open to qualified vendors meeting technical specifications.

Recent activity clusters in California, Texas, and Georgia. The Long Beach Public Utilities Department issued IFB UD26358 (due October 8, 2026) for removal and replacement of 32 butterfly valve units (12 to 36 inches) with electric-actuated controls and associated piping rehabilitation at its Groundwater Treatment Plant, subject to California prevailing wage and Labor Code compliance; the City of Lubbock issued ITB 26-19653-YB (due May 27, 2026) for a 16-inch venturi flow controller and butterfly valve assembly for the North Water Treatment Plant; and the City of Dallas issued solicitation CIZDWU26165166 (due September 25, 2026) for approximately 30,880 linear feet of water and wastewater main replacement across multiple locations. The City of Marietta, Georgia solicited annual contract pricing for water service saddles, couplings, clamps, and valves (PE77023NONST2027000000714, due September 22, 2026), while Gwinnett County issued two separate quotations for resilient gate and tapping valves in June 2026. West Travis County Public Utility Agency's RFQ (due September 2, 2026) sought four motor-operated metal-seated raw water ball valves with DeZURIK VBL AWWA specifications and AUMA actuators for its Water Treatment Plant in Austin, requiring vendor site visits and detailed equipment lead-time estimates. The code shows steady transactional activity across municipal water systems but concentrates in high-volume utility replacements and treatment plant capital projects rather than fragmented, commodity-like procurement.
