UNSPSC 40141626: Nonlubricated plug valves

UNSPSC 40141626 Nonlubricated plug valves is a Commodity code covering a range of isolation, check, relief, and specialty valves used in water distribution, wastewater treatment, and fire protection systems. State and local procurement under this code focuses on resilient-wedge gate valves, check valves, butterfly valves, quick insertion valves, double check detector assemblies, and relief valves for municipal water mains, treatment plant infrastructure, and fire suppression lines. The issuing bodies are predominantly municipal water and wastewater departments (City of Tampa, City of Sarasota, City of Calhoun, City of Marietta) and county water resource agencies (Gwinnett County, DeKalb County) in the Southeast. Tampa's Wastewater and Water Departments appear as repeat buyers, with multiple solicitations for APCO valves, backflow prevention devices, and fire protection components. Recent work includes routine supply contracts structured as annual agreements with pre-negotiated unit pricing, multiyear blanket orders for stock materials, and project-specific bids for treatment plant upgrades and water main replacements.

Geographic activity concentrates heavily in Georgia and Florida, with recent opportunities from Gwinnett County, DeKalb County, and the City of Marietta in Georgia, and the City of Tampa, City of Sarasota, and City of Calhoun across Florida.
