UNSPSC 40141652: Pressure reducing valve

A valve that consistently maintains the pressure and reduces the pressure on fluid.

UNSPSC 40141652 Pressure reducing valve, a Commodity code, covers valve components and assemblies that state and local governments procure to maintain water, wastewater, and pressurized-system infrastructure. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers acquiring pressure-reducing valves alongside complementary components including check valves, butterfly valves, ball valves, tapping sleeves, and actuator-mounted valve assemblies for treatment plants, distribution networks, pumping stations, and service vehicles. The mix of issuing bodies includes water departments (Tampa), county water and sewer authorities (Douglasville-Douglas County Water and Sewer Authority, Gwinnett County Department of Water Resources), municipal utilities (City of Lubbock, Austin Energy, Marietta), wastewater treatment operators (Seminole County, Collier County Public Utilities), and special-purpose districts (DeKalb County). Water and wastewater utilities dominate the recent activity, with repeat procurement from Gwinnett County, City of Tampa, and City of Lubbock. Set-asides appear selectively: Tampa structures some procurements as Small Local Business Enterprise (SLBE)-exclusive, while most others operate as open competitive solicitations.

Recent opportunities span the Southeast and South, with concentrated activity in Georgia (Gwinnett County, DeKalb County, Marietta, Douglasville-Douglas County) and Florida (Tampa, Hillsborough County, Seminole County, Collier County, Austin Energy), plus Texas procurement (Lubbock). Representative recent solicitations include the City of Tampa's October 2026 sealed-bid RFQ (26P00305) for backflow prevention devices and fireline repair parts, an SLBE-exclusive procurement due June 22, 2026 with an estimated value of $75,000 and one-year term plus renewal options; the Gwinnett County Department of Water Resources' September 2026 sealed-bid solicitation (BL126-26) for double-offset butterfly valves in multiple sizes for two filter plants, due September 23, 2026; the Douglasville-Douglas County Water and Sewer Authority's September 2026 IFB (327) for annual water and sewer pipe fittings and related inventory materials, due October 7, 2026; and the County of DeKalb's August 2026 ITB (2026-034-ITB) for quick insertion valves under a three-year multiyear contract, due August 27, 2026. Single-source and sole-source procurements also appear (City of Tampa's Limitorque valves and actuators to Flotech, Inc.; Hillsborough County's DeZurik valves to Fluid Control Specialties, Inc.), reflecting OEM replacement-parts and service dependencies at major treatment facilities.
