UNSPSC 40141633: Slider valves

UNSPSC 40141633 Slider valves is a Commodity code that covers water-treatment and utility valve components, including resilient gate valves, check valves, butterfly valves, and related replacement parts and service kits. State and local water utilities and wastewater treatment authorities are the primary buyers under this code, procuring valves for filter plants, pump stations, distribution systems, and treatment facilities. Water departments in mid-sized counties and cities dominate recent activity, with Gwinnett County, Georgia appearing in multiple solicitations for resilient seat gates, resilient gate valves, butterfly valves, RBX valve kits, and check valves. The City of Madison, Wisconsin and the City of Tampa, Florida also solicit regularly for gate valves and check valve repair parts. Procurement vehicles are straightforward: informal written quotations, requests for quotation, and competitive sealed bids with response windows typically of two to four weeks and unit pricing as the primary evaluation driver.

Recent solicitation activity centers on the Southeast and Midwest. Gwinnett County has issued at least six solicitations since late March 2026 for various valve types and sizes, including informal quotations for MJ resilient valves (due June 9, 2026), butterfly valves for filter plants (due July 13, 2026), resilient seat gates (due April 3, 2026, with addendum April 2), and check valves for the F. Wayne Hill Water Resources Center (due April 24, 2026). The City of Tampa Water Department solicited parts for 6-inch Kennedy Check Valves (due May 28, 2026) and Kennedy Swing Check Valve maintenance parts (due May 29, 2026) via RFQ. The City of Madison issued a request for quotation for resilient wedge gate valves in multiple sizes (due March 17, 2026). Seminole County, Florida pursued a sole-source procurement of REXA actuator parts for wastewater treatment plants (due June 1, 2026). Typical bid values are not disclosed in sourced materials, and delivery terms run FOB destination with freight prepaid. Specifications consistently reference AWWA standards, mechanical joint connections, and approved manufacturer equivalents, with quotation validity periods of 60 days to one year. No state-level set-asides or DBE restrictions appear in recent Commodity code solicitations, though the Collier County tire procurement (which tagged valves incidentally) included FTA grant compliance and DBE provisions.
