UNSPSC 40141653: Sluice valve

A valve that passes, blocks or controls water by installing on pipes for waterworks or industrial water

UNSPSC 40141653 Sluice valve is a Commodity code that encompasses backflow prevention devices, check valves, ball valves, butterfly valves, quick insertion valves, and specialized valve components for water and wastewater infrastructure. State and local water authorities, departments, and utilities are the primary issuing bodies; recent solicitations come from city water and wastewater departments, county water authorities, and regional water and sewer agencies. The scope spans both supply-chain procurement of valve inventory on as-needed and annual contract bases and replacement or repair services for specialized actuators and equipment at treatment facilities. Backflow prevention and fireline repair parts, resilient gate valves, butterfly valves for filter plants, electric valve actuators, and power valve operators with associated spare parts are typical line items. Recent opportunities also include single-source and sole-source procurements for manufacturer-specific OEM replacement parts and authorized distributor services, particularly for proprietary systems like Limitorque, DeZurik, REXA, and Illinois Tool Works valve equipment.
