UNSPSC 40141671: Carbon steel ball valve

Ball valves (stopping flow) made of Carbon steel

UNSPSC 40141671 Carbon steel ball valve is a Commodity code covering industrial valves and related components that state and local water utilities, county water authorities, and municipal water districts procure for water distribution, treatment, and storage infrastructure. Recent state and local solicitations under this code focus on gate valves, butterfly valves, resilient-seat valves, check valves, and slide gates used in water treatment plants, pump stations, and distribution systems rather than ball valves specifically; the code captures a broader family of control and isolation valves deployed across water and wastewater operations. Issuing bodies are predominantly water utilities and county water authorities—Gwinnett County in Georgia, Alameda County Water District in California, Douglasville-Douglas County Water and Sewer Authority in Georgia, and Eastern Municipal Water District in California each appear multiple times in recent procurements. These jurisdictions solicit through informal written quotations (IWQ), requests for quotation (RFQ), and invitations for bids (IFB), typically with response windows of three to fourteen days and delivery on an FOB Destination, freight prepaid basis to specific treatment facilities or central warehouses.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia and California, with Gwinnett County Water Resources issuing the largest volume of recent opportunities spanning resilient-seat gates, MJ-connection valves, RBX valve kits, and check valves between January and June 2026. Representative recent solicitations include Gwinnett County IWQ 128182 for 60 resilient-seat gate valves (due April 3, 2026), Alameda County Water District IFB 25-26-01 for detector check valves (due July 14, 2026), and Douglasville-Douglas County Water and Sewer Authority IFB 321 for fire hydrants and gate valves on a one-year as-needed contract (due April 29, 2026). Gwinnett County maintains an ineligible source list that bars debarred, suspended, or non-compliant vendors from participation. Specifications in these procurements typically reference approved manufacturers such as Mueller, Crispin, DeZurik, Val-matic, APCO, and Vent-O-Mat, with vendors required to provide three references for similar projects and demonstrate local occupation tax compliance or Contractor Affidavits for work exceeding $2,499.99.
