UNSPSC 40141671: Carbon steel ball valve

Ball valves (stopping flow) made of Carbon steel

UNSPSC 40141671 Carbon steel ball valve is a Commodity code under which state and local water utilities and departments procure ball valves, butterfly valves, check valves, resilient gate valves, slide gates, and related valve assemblies for water treatment, distribution, and storage infrastructure. The code captures supply contracts for both standard replacement components (small-unit purchases of gate and tapping valves) and large-scale infrastructure valve installations (multi-inch butterfly and slide gates for treatment plants and clearwells). Issuing bodies include county water departments (Gwinnett County Department of Water Resources, DeKalb County), municipal water systems (City of Marietta), county commissions (Palm Beach County Board of County Commissioners), regional water districts (Alameda County Water District), and cooperative purchasing vehicles on behalf of multiple jurisdictions (Sourcewell). Gwinnett County emerges as a standout repeat buyer, with multiple solicitations for butterfly valves, resilient valves, slide gates, and quick insertion valves posted between April and August 2026.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and California. Representative opportunities include the City of Marietta's annual contract for water service saddles, couplings, clamps, and ball valves (RFQ, due September 22, 2026); Gwinnett County's ITB for quick insertion valves as a three-year multiyear contract (ITB 2026-034-ITB, due August 27, 2026); Gwinnett County's competitive sealed bid for double offset butterfly valves in sizes from 54 to 108 inches for the Lanier and Shoal Creek Filter Plants with NSF/ANSI 61 drinking water certification required (IB BL126-26, due September 23, 2026, with a virtual pre-bid conference scheduled for September 2, 2026); DeKalb County's three-year multiyear ITB for high-pressure and low-pressure quick insert valves, tapping sleeves, and resilient wedge insert gate valves (due August 27, 2026); and Alameda County Water District's IFB for detector check valves (IFB 26/27-01, due July 14, 2026). Palm Beach County sourced a reduced pressure principle backflow assembly (RFQ, due August 25, 2026) with a local preference ordinance providing a five percent adjustment for vendors maintaining permanent places of business within the county, and the Small Business Development Program applies to non-federally funded portions with preference given to certified small businesses within ten percent of the lowest responsive bid.
