UNSPSC 40141641: Poppet valve

A type of valve consisting of a hole and a tapered plug on the end of a shaft also called a valve stem. The shaft guides the plug portion by sliding through a valve guide. The differential pressure seals the valve.

UNSPSC 40141641 Poppet valve, a Commodity code, encompasses replacement poppet and check valve components for municipal water and wastewater treatment infrastructure. State and local governments procure these valves as discrete equipment items for installation in filter systems, pump stations, and distribution networks, typically bundling them with related valve assemblies, actuators, and control equipment. Recent solicitations show water departments and authorities buying individual poppet valve units alongside broader valve procurement programs, and wastewater treatment plants acquiring Anderson Greenwood soft-good kits and retainer plates as wear items for existing valve systems.

Water utilities across Florida, Georgia, Texas, and California dominate recent activity under this code. The City of Tampa Wastewater Department issued an RFQ on July 24, 2026, for Anderson Greenwood parts—specifically soft-good kits and retainer plates—with five-business-day delivery required; the City of Lubbock, Texas posted an RFP on July 23, 2026, for an electric valve actuator and remote control station conforming to EIM model MCAD-1 specifications or approved equivalents for the North Water Treatment Plant, evaluated on manufacturer qualifications (30 points), technical performance (30 points), past performance (20 points), and reliability/warranty/service support (15 points). Gwinnett County, Georgia, solicited replacement check valves in April 2026 for the F. Wayne Hill Water Resources Center, naming DeZurik, Pratt, Crispin, and Val-matic as approved manufacturers; the Hillsborough County Water Resources Department in Florida issued an ITB in February 2026 for Hydra-Stop Insta-Valve 250 Patriot insertion valves with a $175,000 estimated budget. Single-source procurements appear frequently—the City of Tampa and Hillsborough County both pursued sole-source awards with Flotech, Inc. for Limitorque valves and actuators, and Seminole County pursued REXA actuator parts through PRO-CO, Inc. Activity reflects routine replacement demand and OEM-driven competitive constraints when proprietary systems are involved.
