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 water system components — backflow prevention devices, check valves, ball valves, butterfly valves, resilient gate valves, quick-insert valves, solenoid valves, and related actuators and repair parts — that state and local water utilities, wastewater authorities, and treatment facilities procure for infrastructure maintenance, replacement, and as-needed inventory stocking. Recent solicitations show water and wastewater departments sourcing both commodity valve assemblies in bulk and specialized valve replacement equipment for specific treatment plant applications. Issuing bodies include water departments and utilities (City of Tampa Water Department and Wastewater Department, Douglasville-Douglas County Water and Sewer Authority, City of Austin Energy, Gwinnett County Department of Water Resources, City of Marietta), county and municipal purchasing offices (County of DeKalb, Collier County), and specialized authorities (Seminole County Wastewater). A subset of opportunities are sole-source or single-source procurements tied to OEM-specific equipment already installed at treatment facilities, reflecting the installed-base lock-in common in water infrastructure.

Recent activity clusters in Florida and Georgia. The City of Tampa issued an RFQ for Anderson Greenwood wastewater parts (due July 24, 2026) and a competitive solicitation for backflow prevention devices and fireline repair parts under an SLBE set-aside (due June 22, 2026, estimated value $75,000); Tampa also issued a sole-source intent for Limitorque valves and actuators (estimated annual cost $75,000). Gwinnett County, Georgia solicited butterfly valves for filter plants in two postings — one ITB (BL126-26, bids due September 23, 2026) and an earlier informal quotation for Mueller resilient gate and tapping valves. The Douglasville-Douglas County Water and Sewer Authority issued an IFB for annual water and sewer pipe fittings and valves (bids due October 7, 2026), and the County of DeKalb, Georgia issued a three-year multiyear ITB for quick insertion valves and tapping sleeves (bids due August 27, 2026). Cities of Lubbock and Austin and additional Florida utilities (Collier County, Hillsborough County, Seminole County) issued commodity valve procurements and sole-source notices. The City of Lubbock issued two proposals for specialized valve and flow-controller equipment at its North Water Treatment Plant (RFP due July 23, 2026). Geographic concentration is strongest in Georgia and Florida; Texas and Michigan appear as secondary markets. Activity spans competitive sealed bidding, informal quotations, and single-source/sole-source justifications, with response windows typically 14 to 60 days.
