UNSPSC 40141646: Valve seat

The fixed surface on which a valve rests or against which it presses.

UNSPSC 40141646 Valve seat is a Commodity code. State and local water and wastewater authorities procure valve seats as components of backflow prevention devices, check valves, resilient gate valves, butterfly valves, and quick-insertion valves used across potable water distribution, treatment plant operations, and wastewater infrastructure. Recent solicitations show that the code tracks both discrete replacement parts—such as soft-good kits and retainer plates for Anderson Greenwood equipment—and original-equipment manufacturer (OEM) components bundled within larger valve assemblies purchased on annual supply contracts. Water departments and utility authorities are the primary issuing bodies, including municipal water departments, county water and sewer authorities, and water treatment filter plant operators. The code sees activity from Florida, Georgia, and Texas municipal and county water systems, with a secondary stream of single-source and sole-source OEM-parts procurements tied to existing equipment in treatment facilities.

Recent activity includes the City of Tampa's August 2026 RFQ for Anderson Greenwood wastewater parts (solicitation 26P00452, quotes due July 24), which called for two line items including soft-good kits and a retainer plate with five-business-day delivery; the Douglasville-Douglas County Water and Sewer Authority's September 2026 IFB for annual water and sewer pipe fittings and related inventory materials (PE77017NONST2027000000058, bids due October 7), which encompassed valves and valve-related products on an as-needed basis; and the County of DeKalb, Georgia's July 2026 three-year multiyear ITB for quick-insertion valves, tapping sleeves, and resilient wedge insert gate valves (PE64400NONST2027000000268, bids due August 27). Single-source and sole-source procurements for OEM valve parts—including Limitorque valves (City of Tampa, $75,000 estimated annual cost), DeZurik valves (Hillsborough County), and REXA actuator parts (Seminole County)—reflect a sustained demand for proprietary replacement components tied to installed base equipment. Geographic concentration is heaviest in Georgia (Gwinnett County, DeKalb County, City of Marietta) and Florida (City of Tampa, Hillsborough County, Collier County), with additional activity in Texas (City of Austin, City of Lubbock).
