A valve which supplies water to the sprinkler head automatically once one or more of water sprinklers is opened by sensing fire or others.

UNSPSC 40141657 Fire sprinkler control valve is a Commodity code representing a narrow product category, but recent state and local solicitations show that this code is being applied to a much broader range of valve procurement and maintenance work than the name alone suggests. State and local governments are buying backflow prevention devices, check valves, butterfly valves, quick insertion valves, resilient wedge gate valves, electric valve actuators, and fire sprinkler system inspection and repair services under this classification. The issuing bodies include municipal water departments and utilities (City of Tampa Water Department, City of Austin Energy, Douglasville-Douglas County Water and Sewer Authority, City of Marietta), county water resources agencies (Gwinnett County Department of Water Resources, DeKalb County), school districts (St. Lucie Public Schools), and special districts (Seminole County, Hillsborough County). Repeat buyers include Gwinnett County and the City of Tampa, each appearing multiple times in recent procurements.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida and Georgia, with secondary activity in Texas and scattered procurements in California and other states. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Tampa Water Department soliciting backflow prevention devices and fireline repair parts under an SLBE-exclusive IFB (26P00305, bids due June 22, 2026, estimated value $75,000); St. Lucie Public Schools requesting bids for fire sprinkler systems inspection and repair services under ITB2701 (due October 15, 2026); Gwinnett County requesting bids for butterfly valves for two filter plants under BL126-26 (due September 23, 2026, with virtual pre-bid September 2); and DeKalb County soliciting quick insertion valves under a three-year multiyear ITB (due August 27, 2026). The City of Lubbock, Texas has solicited electric valve actuator replacement and rate of flow controller equipment. Several utilities have issued single-source procurement notices for OEM-authorized replacement parts (City of Tampa intending to sole-source Limitorque valves to Flotech, Inc., estimated annual cost $75,000; Hillsborough County intending to sole-source DeZurik valves to Fluid Control Specialties, Inc.; Seminole County pursuing sole-source REXA actuator parts through PRO-CO, Inc.).
