UNSPSC 40141620: Butterfly wafer pattern valves

UNSPSC 40141620 Butterfly wafer pattern valves is a Commodity code that covers industrial and municipal valve products procured primarily for water utility operations. State and local governments buy butterfly valves—in sizes ranging from 8 inches to 120 inches—for water treatment facilities, distribution systems, and booster pump stations. Recent solicitations show demand for resilient gate valves, detector check valves, flow controllers paired with butterfly valves, and specialized products such as Lineseal XP butterfly valves (Class 250B) and Limitorque actuator-equipped valve assemblies. Water districts, municipal water departments, and county water authorities comprise the primary issuing bodies, with activity concentrated in California, Georgia, Florida, and Texas over the past four months.

Water utility procurement under the code spans both capital equipment purchases and maintenance-scale component orders. Alameda County Water District sought detector check valves via IFB 26/27-01 with a July 14, 2026 response date; Gwinnett County, Georgia issued parallel solicitations for Mueller resilient gate and tapping valves (IFQ) and MJ resilient valves (ITB) in June 2026; the City of Lubbock, Texas solicited a 16-inch butterfly valve and flow controller assembly (ITB 26-19653-YB) due May 27, 2026; the Eastern Municipal Water District in Riverside County, California posted RFQ 3930 for Lineseal XP 36-inch butterfly valves due March 20, 2026; and Charlotte Water, City of Charlotte, North Carolina issued RFP FY26RFP28 for water treatment valve rehabilitation services (including butterfly, cone, and gate valve inspection and repair) due April 1, 2026. The City of Dallas conducted informal solicitations for butterfly valves and gate valves in January and February 2026. Opportunities range from firm-price supply contracts to indefinite-quantity rehabilitation agreements with no stated minimum purchase. Most solicitations require FOB delivery, new unopened stock, and adherence to municipal procurement compliance including tax exemption and conflict-of-interest questionnaires.
