UNSPSC 40141636: Valve kits

UNSPSC 40141636 Valve kits is a Commodity code capturing replacement and maintenance valve assemblies, individual valve components, and related hardware that state and local water and wastewater systems procure on an as-needed or annual basis. Recent solicitations show cities, counties, and regional water authorities buying backflow prevention devices, butterfly valves, quick insertion valves, resilient gate valves, solenoid valves, actuators, and specialized valve parts for distribution systems, treatment plants, and pumping stations. The work spans both supply contracts (competitive sealed bids for inventoried parts) and services (valve repair, replacement, and off-site service). Water and wastewater utilities dominate the issuing-body mix, including municipal water departments, county water and sewer authorities, and regional water resource departments. The City of Tampa appears multiple times across different valve procurement types, signaling repeat activity in that jurisdiction. Smaller cities and special-purpose districts also participate, though less frequently in the recent opportunity set.

Geographic concentration runs heavily through Georgia (Gwinnett County, DeKalb County, City of Marietta, Douglasville-Douglas County Water and Sewer Authority) and Florida (City of Tampa, Hillsborough County, Seminole County, Collier County), with lighter activity in Texas (City of Austin, City of Lubbock) and Michigan (Wayne County). Representative recent opportunities include the City of Tampa Water Department's sealed-bid IFB for backflow prevention devices and fireline repair parts (26P00305, bids due June 22, 2026, estimated value $75,000, SLBE-exclusive), the Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' ITB for butterfly valves across two filter plants (BL126-26, bids due September 23, 2026, virtual pre-bid September 2, 2026, multiple sizes and valve types for two facilities), the Douglasville-Douglas County Water and Sewer Authority's IFB for annual water and sewer pipe fittings and valve inventory (327, bids due October 7, 2026), and the City of Austin's competitive quote for a single GE solenoid valve (IFQ1100AGM1021, quotes due September 11, 2026, FOB Destination delivery to a specific energy facility). Single-source and sole-source procurements also appear—the City of Tampa's intent to single-source Limitorque valves and actuators to Flotech, Inc. (26X01439, estimated annual cost $75,000, authorized through July 1, 2027) and Hillsborough County's single-source DeZurik valve procurement (26X01356) reflect OEM replacement-parts and authorized-distributor requirements common in aging infrastructure.
