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 that state and local governments procure as components and replacement parts for water treatment, wastewater, and potable water systems. Recent solicitations show demand for electric valve actuators, butterfly valves, check valves, insertion valves, servo valves, and related valve assemblies that interface with treatment plant infrastructure and meter systems. Valve procurement under this code spans both single-unit replacements for specific facilities and inventory-based supply agreements. Issuing bodies include city water departments (Fort Worth, Dallas, Lubbock, Austin, Tampa), county water and wastewater authorities (Gwinnett County, Hillsborough County, Pasco County, Seminole County, Wayne County), and regional water districts (Eastern Municipal Water District in California, Douglasville-Douglas County Water and Sewer Authority in Georgia). Sourcing patterns reflect a mix of competitive open bidding, sole-source and single-source procurements tied to OEM authorization or proprietary technology, and as-needed supply contracts with fixed unit pricing.

Activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Florida over the past six months, with scattered opportunities in California. Representative solicitations include the City of Lubbock's RFP 26-19705-YB for an electric valve actuator and remote control station for the North Water Treatment Plant (response due July 23, 2026); the City of Tampa's RFQ for Anderson Greenwood parts for wastewater inventory (response due July 24, 2026) and its single-source notice for Limitorque valve actuators from Flotech, Inc. through July 1, 2027; Gwinnett County's competitive bids for replacement swing check valves for the F. Wayne Hill Water Resources Center (response due April 24, 2026) and butterfly valves for filter plants (response due July 13, 2026); the City of Fort Worth's RFP for cast iron valve boxes and lids (response due February 19, 2026); and Hillsborough County's ITB for Hydra-Stop Insta-Valve 250 Patriot insertion valves with an estimated budget of $175,000 (response due February 18, 2026). Sole-source and single-source procurements—such as Tampa's Limitorque award to Flotech, Hillsborough County's DeZurik valves, Seminole County's REXA actuator parts, and North Miami Beach's Limotorque valve actuators—represent a significant share of activity and reflect customer lock-in on OEM products and authorized distributors.
