UNSPSC 40141677: Alloy/stainless steel globe valve

Globe (throttling flow) made of Alloy steel/stainless

UNSPSC 40141677 Alloy/stainless steel globe valve is a Commodity code covering specialized flow-control equipment that state and local water utilities procure for treatment plants, distribution systems, and water-service infrastructure. Recent solicitations show demand for butterfly valves, globe valves, resilient gate valves, quick insertion valves, detector check valves, and backflow assemblies—all serving pressurized and non-pressurized pipeline systems in drinking-water applications. Issuing bodies include county water departments, county boards of commissioners, municipal water utilities, and county water districts. Gwinnett County, Georgia appears as a repeat buyer across multiple recent opportunities, soliciting filter-plant equipment and water-distribution components on both formal sealed-bid and informal quotation bases. Cities and counties typically structure these procurements as single-purchase or multiyear supply contracts with unit or total pricing, FOB Destination freight-prepaid delivery, and compliance requirements tied to AWWA standards and NSF/ANSI 61 certification for potable-water service.

Geographic activity clusters in Georgia, with Gwinnett County and the City of Marietta posting multiple solicitations in June through August 2026; California (Alameda County Water District) and Florida (Palm Beach County Board of County Commissioners) show parallel activity. Representative opportunities include Gwinnett County's invitation to bid for butterfly valves for the Lanier and Shoal Creek Filter Plants (solicitation BL126-26, due September 23, 2026) covering double-offset butterfly valves in four sizes with gearboxes and documented compliance with AWWA C504/C516 and NSF/ANSI 61; the City of Marietta's annual contract for water service saddles, couplings, clamps, and valves (BL121-26, due September 22, 2026); and DeKalb County's three-year multiyear ITB for quick insertion valves and tapping sleeves (2026-034-ITB, due August 27, 2026). Small business set-asides and local vendor preferences apply in some jurisdictions (Palm Beach County), while Gwinnett County maintains an ineligible source list that restricts participation by debarred or suspended vendors.
