UNSPSC 40141652: Pressure reducing valve

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

UNSPSC 40141652 Pressure reducing valve is a Commodity code. State and local governments procure replacement and repair parts for pressure reducing and flow control valves installed in water treatment, wastewater, and potable water distribution systems, along with the associated actuators, bodies, and component kits needed to maintain operational continuity. Recent activity shows water treatment facilities and municipal water departments across the Southeast and Texas purchasing both original-equipment-manufacturer parts through sole-source contracts and competitive bids for approved-equivalent valve assemblies, insertion valves, check valves, and butterfly valve combinations. The issuing bodies are predominantly municipal water departments, county water resources divisions, and special-purpose water authorities. Sole-source procurements dominate because many systems use proprietary actuators and valve technology—Limitorque, DeZurik, REXA, and Cla-Val products appear multiple times—that require OEM replacement parts or direct factory support. When competitive bidding does occur, it targets standard products like butterfly valves, check valves, and resilient gate valves from manufacturers such as Mueller, Pratt, APCO, and Val-matic. Installation is typically performed by the procuring agency or a construction manager, with vendors supplying equipment only or equipment plus remote shop drawings and technical documentation.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida (Tampa, Hillsborough County, Collier County, Seminole County, North Miami Beach), Georgia (Gwinnett County, Douglasville), Texas (Lubbock, Fort Worth, Dallas, Austin, College Station), and California (Riverside, Eastern Municipal Water District). The City of Lubbock, Texas posted two related opportunities in May–July 2026: ITB 26-19653-YB for a 16-inch butterfly valve and rate-of-flow controller assembly for the North Water Treatment Plant (sealed bids due May 27, 2026) and RFP 26-19705-YB for an electric valve actuator replacement with remote control station (proposals due July 23, 2026). The City of Tampa issued an RFQ on July 24, 2026, for Anderson Greenwood soft-good kits and retainer plates for the Wastewater Department. Tampa also pursued sole-source procurements with Flotech, Inc. for Limitorque valves and actuators (estimated cost $75,000 annually through July 2027) and with Fluid Control Specialties, Inc. for DeZurik valves at the David L. Tippin Water Treatment Facility. Gwinnett County, Georgia issued multiple informal written quotations in January–June 2026 for butterfly valves, resilient gate valves, check valves, and water valve locks, with sealed bids for 19 replacement swing check valves due April 24, 2026. Hillsborough County's Water Resources Department issued ITB 26-00122 for Hydra-Stop Insta-Valve insertion valves with an estimated budget of $175,000 and February 18, 2026 deadline. Fort Worth's RFP 26-0068 for cast iron valve boxes and lids closed February 19, 2026, with 30 percent small business participation goal. This code sees steady activity driven by aging infrastructure renewal and OEM spare-parts replacement in municipal water systems.
