UNSPSC 40141648: Magnetic valve

A widely used type of valve in which the electromagnet is housed in a chamber which is not exposed to pressure medium to be controlled and in which a rod coupling is placed between the armature of the electromagnet and the valve body.

UNSPSC 40141648 Magnetic valve, a Commodity code, encompasses solenoid valves, ball valves, butterfly valves, and gate valves procured by state and local water utilities, wastewater treatment authorities, and municipal water departments for distribution infrastructure, treatment plant operations, and emergency repair inventory. Recent solicitations show water and sewer authorities buying magnetic valves as components of larger water service assemblies, as replacement parts for treatment facilities, and as standalone inventory items for on-demand maintenance and repair. The City of Tampa's Water Department, Gwinnett County's Department of Water Resources, the Douglasville-Douglas County Water and Sewer Authority, and the City of Marietta's water system are repeat buyers under this code, soliciting through both competitive sealed bids and quotes for inventory replenishment contracts. Issuing bodies include municipal water departments, county water and sewer authorities, and regional water treatment facilities. The work spans both standardized commodity procurement (bulk valve inventory for distribution systems) and specialized OEM-replacement sourcing (original equipment manufacturer parts for proprietary valve systems installed at specific treatment plants).

Geographic activity clusters in the Southeast, particularly Georgia and Florida, where the Gwinnett County Department of Water Resources, Douglasville-Douglas County Water and Sewer Authority, City of Marietta, City of Tampa Water Department, and Hillsborough County have posted recent solicitations. Representative current opportunities include the City of Tampa Water Department's IFB 26P00305 (sealed bids due June 22, 2026) for backflow prevention devices and fireline repair parts, with an estimated contract value of $75,000 and an SLBE set-aside; the Gwinnett County Department of Water Resources' IFB BL126-26 (bids due September 23, 2026) for butterfly valves in sizes 54" through 108" for the Lanier and Shoal Creek Filter Plants; the County of DeKalb's ITB 2026-034-ITB (bids due August 27, 2026) for quick insertion valves under a three-year multiyear contract; and the Douglasville-Douglas County Water and Sewer Authority's IFB 327 (bids due October 7, 2026) for annual water and sewer pipe fittings and valve inventory materials. Single-source and sole-source procurements also appear under the code, including the City of Tampa's intent to sole-source Limitorque valves and actuators to Flotech, Inc., and Hillsborough County's intent to single-source DeZurik valves to Fluid Control Specialties, Inc., both reflecting OEM-authorization requirements at major treatment facilities.
