UNSPSC 40141647: Segment valve

A type of valve designed to provide an optimized flow path for medium consistency pulp.

UNSPSC 40141647 Segment valve (Commodity) covers the supply and replacement of industrial valves—primarily butterfly, check, resilient, insertion, and specialty control valves—for water treatment, wastewater, and potable water distribution systems operated by state and local water authorities. State and local governments buying under this code are sourcing individual replacement components, complete valve assemblies with actuators, and as-needed inventory stock for treatment plants, pumping stations, and distribution networks. Water departments, water authorities, and wastewater agencies comprise the bulk of issuing bodies, with occasional procurement through special-purpose districts and county or city purchasing offices on behalf of water resources divisions.

Recent activity concentrates heavily in Texas, Florida, Georgia, and California. The City of Lubbock, Texas is actively procuring electric valve actuators and flow controllers for the North Water Treatment Plant through multiple notices (RFP 26-19705-YB and ITB 26-19653-YB), with deadlines of July 23 and May 27, 2026, respectively; both solicitations emphasize conformance to AWWA standards and compatibility with existing equipment. The City of Tampa issued an RFQ for Anderson Greenwood wastewater parts (due July 24, 2026) and a sole-source notice for Limitorque valves and actuators from Flotech, Inc. (valued at approximately $75,000 annually), while Hillsborough County's single-source procurement for DeZurik valves reflects the prevalence of OEM-exclusive replacement buys in the sector. Gwinnett County, Georgia, has issued multiple informal quotations for resilient and check valves for filter plants and pump stations (April–June 2026). Specialized procurements include insertion valves from Hillsborough County (ITB estimated at $175,000), backflow prevention devices from the City of Tampa (SLBE-exclusive, June 2026), and cast iron valve boxes from the City of Fort Worth (RFP 26-0068, due February 19, 2026, with a 30 percent small-business participation goal). Single-source and sole-source designations are routine when equipment is proprietary or when the installed base locks procurement to specific manufacturers; competitive quotations and invitations to bid dominate when standard or equivalent products are acceptable.
