UNSPSC 40141675: Alloy/stainless steel gate valve

Gate (stopping flow) made of Alloy steel/stainless

UNSPSC 40141675 Alloy/stainless steel gate valve is a Commodity code covering metal gate valves and related control components for water and wastewater distribution and treatment systems. State and local governments solicit under this code to source replacement valves, valve assemblies, and associated hardware for municipal water infrastructure — including ball valves, butterfly valves, slide gates, resilient wedge gate valves, quick insertion valves, detector check valves, and backflow prevention assemblies. Water utility departments and county water resources divisions are the primary buyers; cities and regional water districts also participate. Scope spans individual replacement valves for filter plants and water treatment facilities, annual supply contracts providing multiple valve types and sizes on a unit-pricing basis, and multiyear framework agreements to support ongoing system maintenance and upgrades. All solicitations require compliance with industry standards such as AWWA C504/C516 and NSF/ANSI 61 certification for drinking-water service; vendors commonly must provide detailed technical documentation, shop drawings, spare parts lists, and project references demonstrating comparable experience.

Georgia dominates recent posting activity, with Gwinnett County and DeKalb County each issuing multiple solicitations since June 2026 for filter plant equipment, distribution system components, and multiyear supply contracts. The City of Marietta, Georgia; Alameda County Water District (California); and Palm Beach County, Florida (which issued a single-source Wilkins OEM backflow assembly request) also appear in the recent record. Representative opportunities include Gwinnett County's butterfly valve procurement for Lanier and Shoal Creek Filter Plants (ITB BL126-26, bids due September 23, 2026); DeKalb County's three-year multiyear contract for quick insertion valves and resilient wedge gate valves (ITB 2026-034-ITB, bids due August 27, 2026); and Marietta's annual contract for water service saddles, couplings, clamps, and valves (IFB BL121-26, bids due September 22, 2026). Most recent solicitations were posted August through September 2026, with response windows typically two to four weeks; virtual pre-bid conferences and Q&A cycles are standard. No incumbent vendors or contract values are disclosed in the available records.
