UNSPSC 40141676: Carbon steel globe valve

Globe (throttling flow) made of Carbon steel

UNSPSC 40141676 Carbon steel globe valve is a Commodity code covering valves and valve-related components that state and local water utilities, departments, and special districts procure for water distribution, treatment, and pressurized pipeline infrastructure. Recent solicitations show state and local governments buying butterfly valves, quick insertion valves, detector check valves, resilient gate valves, slide gates, and backflow assemblies—components that serve storage equalization, flow control, pressure regulation, contamination prevention, and maintenance access functions across municipal water systems. The buying agencies are predominantly water departments and utility districts within county and city governments, with Georgia jurisdictions appearing frequently in recent postings.

Georgia counties—particularly Gwinnett County and DeKalb County—dominate recent activity under this code, joined by the City of Marietta, Alameda County Water District in California, and Palm Beach County in Florida. Representative opportunities include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, Department of Water Resources, issuing an ITB on September 23, 2026, for double offset butterfly valves in sizes up to 108 inches for the Lanier and Shoal Creek Filter Plants, with specifications requiring AWWA Standards C504/C516 compliance and NSF/ANSI 61 certification; the City of Marietta issuing a competitive bid on September 22, 2026, for an annual contract covering water service saddles, couplings, clamps, and ball valves; DeKalb County issuing an ITB due August 27, 2026, for a three-year multiyear contract for quick insertion valves and tapping sleeves; and Alameda County Water District issuing an IFB on July 14, 2026, for detector check valves. Gwinnett County appears as a repeat buyer with multiple valve solicitations posted across June, July, and April 2026. Pricing arrangements typically require unit pricing and firm quotations, with F.O.B. Destination freight prepaid, and most awards go to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder meeting technical and compliance specifications.
