UNSPSC 40141654: Cock valve

A type of plug valve that stops the flow of liquid or increases or and decreases it by turning the plug inserted in the cone shaped or cylinder shaped hole on the liquid route.

UNSPSC 40141654 Cock valve, a Commodity code, covers isolation, check, and specialty valves for water and wastewater infrastructure that state and local water utilities, treatment facilities, and public works departments procure as bulk inventory, replacement parts, and equipment components. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers acquiring resilient gate valves, ball valves, butterfly valves, tapping sleeves, quick-insertion valves, and actuator-mounted valve assemblies for distribution networks, treatment plants, and pumping stations — typically on annual supply contracts with firm pricing and as-needed delivery terms, ranging from small RFQs for specific OEM replacement parts to multiyear framework agreements covering dozens of line items and multiple sizes.

Water authorities in Florida, Georgia, and Texas dominate recent activity. The City of Tampa Water Department solicited backflow prevention devices and fireline repair parts (26P00305, IFB, June 22, 2026 response, $75,000 estimated value, SLBE-exclusive); the Douglasville-Douglas County Water and Sewer Authority requested annual pipe fittings and valve inventory (IFB 327, October 7, 2026, Georgia); Gwinnett County, Georgia issued multiple bids for butterfly valves serving the Lanier and Shoal Creek Filter Plants (BL126-26, September 23, 2026; an earlier BL045-26, July 13, 2026); the County of DeKalb, Georgia sought quick-insertion valves on a three-year multiyear contract (ITB 2026-034-ITB, August 27, 2026); and the City of Lubbock, Texas requested a replacement rate-of-flow controller and butterfly valve assembly for the North Water Treatment Plant (ITB 26-19653-YB, May 27, 2026). Single-source procurements for OEM parts and authorized distributor relationships appear regularly — the City of Tampa issued intent to single-source Limitorque valves and actuators to Flotech, Inc. (26X01439, $75,000 annual estimated cost), Hillsborough County single-sourced DeZurik valves to Fluid Control Specialties, Inc., and Seminole County pursued a sole-source REXA actuator parts procurement through PRO-CO, Inc. — reflecting municipal dependence on proprietary equipment and original manufacturer support for critical water infrastructure.
