UNSPSC 40141675: Alloy/stainless steel gate valve

Gate (stopping flow) made of Alloy steel/stainless

UNSPSC 40141675 Alloy/stainless steel gate valve (Commodity) encompasses water utility gate valves, check valves, butterfly valves, and related flow-control products sourced by water districts and municipal authorities for supply to treatment plants, pump stations, and distribution infrastructure. Recent solicitations center on specialty resilient-seat gate valves, check valves for specific hydraulic applications, and butterfly valves in sizes ranging from 6 inches to 36 inches, typically specified to AWWA standards or manufacturer equivalents such as Mueller, Vent-O-Mat, CLOW, and Lineseal XP. Water utilities issue RFQs and IFBs for these components on an as-needed basis to maintain system integrity across finished-water storage, filtration, pump station, and sludge-handling operations. Issuing bodies are predominantly county-level water authorities and municipal water districts rather than state departments, with Gwinnett County (Georgia) appearing as a repeat buyer through the Department of Water Resources, Alameda County Water District (California), and the Douglasville-Douglas County Water and Sewer Authority (Georgia) each posting multiple procurements in the past six months.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and California. Gwinnett County posted eight separate solicitations between January and June 2026 for detector check valves, resilient-seat gates in 6-, 8-, and 10-inch sizes, RBX service kits, and swing check valves for specific treatment and pump facilities; Alameda County Water District issued three RFQs and IFBs for CLOW gate valves and detector check valves between January and July 2026. The Douglasville-Douglas County Water and Sewer Authority (Georgia) solicited gate valves and fire hydrants under IFB 321 due April 29, 2026, and the Eastern Municipal Water District (Riverside County, California) requested quotes for 36-inch Lineseal XP butterfly valves (RFQ 3930) due March 20, 2026. These procurements typically compress response windows to 3–14 days, require FOB Destination delivery to district facilities, demand three project references and proof of non-debarment, and award on lowest responsive and responsible pricing. No set-aside or preference programs are noted across recent postings; Gwinnett County maintains an ineligible source list that disqualifies debarred vendors.
