UNSPSC 40141669: Control valve positioner

A valve Positioner is a device used to increase or decrease the air load pressure driving the actuator until the valve's stem reaches a "POSITION" balanced to the output SIGNAL from the process variable instrument controller.

UNSPSC 40141669 Control valve positioner is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities in the data block show minimal activity directly tied to control valve positioners. The solicitations posted under this code over the past six months predominantly reflect water utility procurement of gate valves, check valves, butterfly valves, resilient seat valves, and slide gates — all flow-control valve types used in water distribution and treatment infrastructure, but distinct product categories from positioners themselves. Water districts, county water authorities, and municipal water systems are the primary issuing bodies, with a strong concentration in Georgia (particularly Gwinnett County) and California (Alameda County Water District and Eastern Municipal Water District). One unrelated solicitation for law enforcement equipment under a Sourcewell cooperative contract appears to be a tagging error and does not reflect actual procurement under this code.

Recent opportunities reflect state and local water infrastructure demand, with Gwinnett County issuing multiple informal written quotations and sealed bids for valve inventory and replacement between January and June 2026. Representative procurements include Gwinnett County's sealed bid for 19 replacement swing check valves for the F. Wayne Hill Water Resources Center (due April 24, 2026), a competitive sealed bid for 108-inch slide gates for the Lanier Filter Plant (due July 13, 2026), informal quotations for resilient seat gate valves in multiple sizes (due April 3, 2026), and informal quotations for Mueller resilient gate and tapping valves (due June 9, 2026). The Alameda County Water District issued two separate RFQs for gate valves and detector check valves in January and July 2026, and the Eastern Municipal Water District (Riverside County, California) solicited Lineseal XP 36-inch butterfly valves (due March 20, 2026). The Douglasville-Douglas County Water and Sewer Authority in Georgia posted an IFB for fire hydrants and gate valves on an as-needed basis for the 12-month period June 1, 2026 through May 31, 2027 (bids due April 29, 2026). Most solicitations are competitive sealed bids or informal written quotations with response windows of 3 to 14 days, F.O.B. Destination delivery terms, and award to the lowest responsive and responsible vendor. No incumbent vendors, specific budget values, or set-aside programs are disclosed in the available documents.
