UNSPSC 40141649: Directional control valve coil assembly

UNSPSC 40141649 Directional control valve coil assembly (Commodity) represents replacement and service parts for valve control equipment installed in water and wastewater treatment facilities across state and local water utilities. Recent solicitations focus on procurement of proprietary actuator assemblies, valve parts kits, and related components for integration with existing treatment plant equipment; state and local purchasing offices buy these parts on an as-needed and inventory-replenishment basis, often tied to equipment maintenance, equipment upgrades, or treatment-process modifications. The mix of issuing bodies is heavily weighted toward municipal water and wastewater departments and county water resources divisions, with standout repeat buyers including the City of Tampa (multiple single-source procurements for Limitorque and other proprietary valve actuators), Gwinnett County (Georgia), and water treatment authorities in Florida serving potable and reclaimed water systems. The code shows activity across Texas, Florida, Georgia, and California, with the heaviest concentration in Florida, where several municipalities have issued sole-source notices tied to exclusive distributor relationships with valve manufacturers.

Representative recent opportunities underscore the procurement pattern. The City of Lubbock, Texas issued RFP 26-19705-YB (due July 23, 2026) for an electric valve actuator replacement and remote control station for its North Water Treatment Plant, specifying an EIM model MCAD-1 or approved equal with detailed functional and warranty requirements and 100-point evaluation criteria covering manufacturer qualifications, product performance, past performance, and support. The City of Tampa issued intent-to-single-source notices (26X01439, posted July 8, 2026) for Limitorque valves, actuators, and repair services through Flotech, Inc., the exclusive Flowserve-Limitorque municipal representative in Florida, with an estimated annual cost of $75,000; Hillsborough County similarly pursued sole-source procurement (26X01356, posted June 29, 2026) for DeZurik valves and parts through Fluid Control Specialties, Inc. Gwinnett County issued competitive informal quotations (IWQ 127776, due April 17, 2026) for RBX valves and service kits and (BL045-26, due July 13, 2026) for butterfly valves for filter plants. The code shows strong activity in utility maintenance and equipment-replacement cycles, with most procurements either tied to exclusive manufacturer relationships or competitive sourcing of standard industrial valves and actuators, and response windows typically running two to four weeks from posting.
