UNSPSC 40141663: Globe control valve

Globe Control Valves use smooth stems rather than threaded and are opened and closed by an actuator assembly, used for regulating flow in a pipeline, consisting of a movable plug or disc element and a stationary ring seat in a generally spherical body.

UNSPSC 40141663 Globe control valve is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it predominantly reflect water-distribution and water-treatment valve procurement — primarily butterfly valves, resilient gate valves, quick insertion valves, detector check valves, and backflow assemblies used in municipal water infrastructure. State and local governments buy these products as replacement components, repair parts, or annual supply-line items for drinking water systems, treatment plants, filter facilities, and distribution networks. Issuing bodies include county water departments (Gwinnett County Department of Water Resources, Alameda County Water District), municipal utilities (City of Marietta, Georgia), county boards of commissioners, and special-purpose water districts. Gwinnett County appears as a repeat buyer across multiple 2026 solicitations for butterfly valves, resilient valves, and gate equipment for its two major filter plants (Lanier and Shoal Creek).

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia, particularly the Atlanta metropolitan region. Representative solicitations include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners issuing an ITB for quick insertion valves, tapping sleeves, and related equipment under a three-year multiyear contract with bids due August 27, 2026; the City of Marietta, Georgia soliciting water service saddles, couplings, clamps, and ball valves under annual contract BL121-26 with bids due September 22, 2026 (IFB); and Gwinnett County Department of Water Resources posting an ITB for butterfly valves in four sizes (54", 72", 96", and 108") with AWWA C504/C516 and NSF/ANSI 61 compliance required, with bids due September 23, 2026. A single California opportunity — Alameda County Water District's IFB 26/27-01 for detector check valves (bids due July 14, 2026) — represents isolated West Coast activity. Pricing structures are typically unit cost and total price by item category, with FOB Destination and freight prepaid. Awards commonly reserve the right to split line items or make individual awards based on lowest responsive and responsible bidding.
