UNSPSC 40141726: Hydrants

UNSPSC 40141726 Hydrants (Commodity) covers fire hydrant equipment and components that state and local water utilities, public works departments, and fire protection agencies procure for municipal water distribution and fire suppression infrastructure. Recent activity spans maintenance and testing services, complete hydrant replacement, repair parts and accessories, and specialized equipment such as hydrant flusher kits and backflow preventers. Issuing bodies include municipal water departments (City of Waco, City of Dallas, Long Beach Public Utilities, City of Tampa), county water authorities (Douglasville-Douglas County Water and Sewer Authority, Jackson County Utility Authority, Gwinnett County), fire departments and school districts acquiring hydrant services (Cobb County School District, Hillsborough County Fire Rescue), state forestry agencies (CAL FIRE), regional utilities (Alameda County Water District, City of Madison Water Utility), and multi-jurisdictional authorities (Port Authority of New York and New Jersey). Buyers range from large metropolitan systems to smaller regional authorities, with activity concentrated in municipal water and fire infrastructure maintenance programs.

Recent opportunities reflect two primary procurement patterns: on-call and as-needed supply or service contracts, and discrete projects for replacement or repair. The City of Waco posted RFB 2026-031 (due August 12, 2026) for fire hydrant maintenance covering approximately 740 hydrants—exercising, pressure testing, greasing, and minor repairs—with 60 percent self-performance requirement and 365-day completion timeline. Long Beach Public Utilities issued Specification UD-26-342 (due July 23, 2026) seeking fire hydrants and fire hydrant parts across 46 line items including extensions, complete hydrant bodies, replacement parts, and accessories for Mueller and Clow equipment with ANSI/AWWA compliance and local preference available. CAL FIRE issued IFB 3CA07818 (due August 5, 2026) for furnishing, installing, and replacing four fire hydrant locations at Fenner Conservation Camp with Mueller hydrants or approved equivalents, subject to small business and DVBE preferences. The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey released a three-year requirements contract (Bid #6000003303, due May 7, 2026) for supply and delivery of fire hydrants and accessories—69 line items including AP Smith and Metropolitan Model 94 components—to multiple warehouse locations across the New York and New Jersey Port District. Geographic activity spans Texas (Waco, Midland, Dallas, Houston area), California (CAL FIRE Valyermo, Long Beach, Fremont), Georgia (Douglasville, Fayette County, Atlanta, Cobb County), Florida (Hillsborough County, City of Tampa, Sarasota, Tallahassee), New York and New Jersey (Port Authority), Wisconsin (Madison), Arizona (Yuma), and Mississippi (Jackson County). Prevailing wage requirements, performance and payment bonds, and insurance requirements (general liability $1–2 million typical) are standard across IFBs and major contracts. Small business and DVBE preferences appear in several solicitations; some jurisdictions apply local price preferences.
