UNSPSC 40141665: Self-regulating control valve

Self-actuated pressure control valves serve to maintain an adjustable set-point pressure within certain levels in pipelines or vessels which do not feature additional auxiliary energy such as pneumatic air or electricity to operate.

UNSPSC 40141665 Self-regulating control valve is a Commodity code that encompasses isolation and flow-control devices for pressurized water distribution, treatment, and storage systems. State and local water utilities purchase under this code to procure butterfly valves, ball valves, resilient gate valves, quick insertion valves, backflow prevention assemblies, detector check valves, and slide gates — primarily for municipal water treatment plants, distribution networks, and storage facilities. The work is transactional and recurring, structured as annual supply contracts, multiyear purchasing agreements, informal quotations, and one-off capital procurements. Issuing bodies include county water departments, independent water districts, and city water utilities across the Southeast and California. Gwinnett County, Georgia appears as a repeat buyer, with multiple solicitations for butterfly valves, resilient valves, and slide gates for the Lanier and Shoal Creek filter plants.
