UNSPSC 40141637: Wafer check valves

UNSPSC 40141637 Wafer check valves, a Commodity code, sees limited recent state and local procurement activity directly aligned with its nominal scope. Of the nine recent opportunities tagged to this code, only two reflect actual wafer check valve procurement: the City of Tampa's June 2026 RFQs for Kennedy Check Valve repair parts (both a 6-inch swing check valve and a 12-inch swing check valve, with component line items including discs, gaskets, hinges, and bolts for water system maintenance) and Seminole County, Florida's June 2026 sole-source procurement of REXA actuator parts for wastewater treatment plants. The remaining seven opportunities—including fencing and gate operators, resilient gate and tapping valves, slide gates, RBX valves, resilient seat gates, swing check valves for water treatment, and tires—are water infrastructure or non-valve procurements that appear miscoded to this commodity. Water utilities and wastewater agencies account for the issuing bodies in the aligned opportunities, with Gwinnett County, Georgia appearing repeatedly across multiple valve-related solicitations (though most are not wafer check valves), and Florida municipalities and special districts prominent among recent postings.

State and local procurement under this code is concentrated in Florida and Georgia, with the City of Tampa and Seminole County in Florida and Gwinnett County in Georgia showing the most recent activity. Relevant recent opportunities include the City of Tampa Water Department's RFQ 26-P-00344 (6-inch Kennedy Check Valve parts, quote due May 28, 2026) and RFQ 26-P-00354 (Kennedy Swing Check Valve parts, quote due May 29, 2026), both for replacement and maintenance components; and Seminole County's sole-source procurement SS5253 for REXA actuator parts (response due June 1, 2026). The miscoding of the majority of tagged opportunities to this commodity suggests that wafer check valve procurement either sees infrequent solicitation under this specific code or that state procurement systems are applying the code inconsistently. Firms pursuing this code should verify actual demand through direct outreach to water utilities and wastewater treatment operators rather than relying solely on the volume of tagged opportunities.
