UNSPSC 40141643: Foot valve

A type of check valve. It is spherical or cylindrical in construction with perforations or slots all over the valve body to allow entry of water into it.

UNSPSC 40141643 Foot valve is a Commodity code. State and local governments procure foot valves and closely related check valves, backflow prevention devices, resilient gate valves, butterfly valves, and quick insertion valves for water distribution, wastewater treatment, and potable water conveyance infrastructure on as-needed and annual contract bases. Recent solicitations show municipal water departments and county water authorities purchasing these components in bulk inventory arrangements, often bundled with related valve fittings, saddles, and couplings, rather than as discrete single-unit purchases. The issuing-body mix spans city water departments (Tampa, Austin, Lubbock), county water and sewer authorities (Douglasville-Douglas County, Gwinnett County, DeKalb County, Wayne County, Collier County, Seminole County), and special districts (Marietta). Single-source and sole-source procurements for OEM replacement parts and proprietary valve systems (Limitorque, DeZurik, REXA actuators) account for a meaningful share of recent activity, reflecting the technical constraints of existing installed equipment in treatment facilities.

Recent opportunities cluster in the Southeast and Texas, with Gwinnett County, Georgia appearing as a repeat buyer posting multiple solicitations for butterfly valves, resilient valves, and quick insertion valves between June and August 2026. The City of Tampa posted an SLBE-sheltered RFQ (26P00305, due June 22, 2026) for backflow prevention devices and fireline repair parts with an estimated contract value of $75,000 and a one-year renewable term; the City of Austin posted an IFQ (IFQ1100AGM1021, due September 15, 2026) for a single solenoid gas fuel vent valve to Austin Energy's Sand Hill Energy Center. The Douglasville-Douglas County Water and Sewer Authority posted an IFB (327, due October 7, 2026) for annual water and sewer pipe fittings and related materials on firm pricing through December 19, 2027. The County of DeKalb, Georgia solicited quick insertion valves and tapping sleeves under a three-year multiyear ITB (2026-034-ITB, due August 27, 2026). Delivery timelines typically range from five to fourteen working days for stocked items; pre-bid conferences and site visits occur on shorter lead times. The code shows steady procurement velocity across municipal water infrastructure upgrades and routine replacement-parts supply chains.
