UNSPSC 40141668: Choke control valve

A type of control valve, mostly used in oil and gas production wells to control the flow of well fluids being produced. Another purpose that the choke valves serve is to kill the pressure from reservoir and to regulate the downstream pressure in the flowlines.

UNSPSC 40141668 Choke control valve (Commodity) encompasses flow-control and isolation valves and related assemblies that state and local water utilities procure for water distribution, treatment, and storage infrastructure. Recent solicitations frame the code broadly: municipalities and county water departments are buying butterfly valves, quick insertion valves, resilient wedge gate valves, detector check valves, backflow prevention assemblies, and saddle-mounted couplings—typically as replacement stock or infrastructure upgrade components for filter plants, storage tanks, pump stations, and pressurized mains. Issuing bodies include county boards of commissioners (water resources divisions) and municipal public works departments, with Gwinnett County, Georgia appearing as a repeat buyer across multiple 2026 solicitations for valves serving the Lanier and Shoal Creek Filter Plants.
