UNSPSC 40141700: Hardware and fittings

UNSPSC 40141700 Hardware and fittings is a Class code encompassing fasteners, pipe fittings, valves, plumbing fixtures, hydrants, electrical hardware, and related components that state and local governments procure for facility maintenance, water infrastructure, and capital construction projects. State and local solicitations under this code reflect a broad mix of operational demands: plumbing supplies for routine repairs and upgrades across county facilities, restroom and locker room renovations for public buildings and transit centers, water distribution main replacement and PFAS mitigation projects, fuel storage tank systems, and industrial hardware for public works operations. Recent opportunities show counties, cities, school districts, and special-purpose districts (water authorities, transit agencies) issuing RFQs, ITBs, IFBs, and RFPs for component and supply needs; Fulton County Schools, Pinellas County, the City of Phoenix, Pembroke Pines, and Clayton County Water Authority have posted active solicitations in the past two months.

Activity is concentrated in Florida, Texas, Georgia, and California, with scattered procurement across the Northeast, Pacific Northwest, and Mountain West regions. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Public Works Department's IFB for industrial pipe and fittings (HDPE, PVC, elbows, couplings, glue, and hand tools) on an as-needed three-year supply contract with two one-year options due August 12, 2026; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's formal IFB for HVAC and plumbing parts supporting Vernon State Hospital (27 line items including water heaters, circulation pumps, copper tubing, mixing valves, and replacement cartridges) due July 28, 2026; Clayton County Water Authority's RFB for restroom renovations due August 5, 2026; Seminole County's multiple home reconstruction IFBs requiring plumbing, electrical, and HVAC components; and Pembroke Pines's IFB for park restroom interior renovations covering flooring, fixtures, low-flow toilets, and showerheads at five locations due July 21, 2026. Procurement volumes range from under $50,000 for specialized supplies to $225,000–$310,000 for facility renovations; delivery expectations often require 24–48 hour response times or next-day fulfillment for emergency items, with some suppliers required to maintain local inventory within specific geographic radii.
