UNSPSC 40141762: Water meter protection tub

A device to secure to prevent frozen damage and leakage of the water meter.

UNSPSC 40141762 Water meter protection tub is a Commodity code with minimal recent state and local procurement activity directly aligned to its nominal scope. The source records show that state and local governments are actively buying industrial pipe, fittings, couplings, valves, and related water and sewer infrastructure materials under broader Family and Class codes, but the specific product—a water meter protection tub—does not appear in any of the recent solicitations. The opportunities posted by the City of Phoenix Public Works Department (two IFBs for industrial pipe and miscellaneous fittings, September and August 2026), the City of Augusta Georgia (ITB 27-116 for HDPE pipe, couplings, and end sections, due September 29, 2026), the Douglasville-Douglas County Water and Sewer Authority (IFB 327 for pipe fittings and related inventory materials, due October 7, 2026), the County of DeKalb Georgia (ITB 2026-034 for quick insertion valves, due August 27, 2026), and the City of Calhoun Georgia (bid for water main relocation supplies, due June 18, 2026) all cover pipes, fittings, valves, couplings, gate valves, and appurtenances for water and sewer systems on an as-needed, multiyear contract basis. None name meter protection tubs or identify that product line as part of the scope.

The code shows activity concentrated in Georgia and Arizona municipal and utility authorities, with opportunities posted through September 2026. However, the divergence between the code's nominal product and the actual work being solicited—which emphasizes bulk pipe and fitting supply for infrastructure rehabilitation and maintenance rather than protective enclosures for meters—suggests that water meter protection tubs either fall under a different taxonomy in state and local procurement practice or represent a low-volume commodity with infrequent standalone solicitation. Practitioners pursuing this code should verify whether it correctly captures meter box and protective enclosure opportunities or whether related products are tagged under different UNSPSC Class or Family codes at the jurisdictions of interest.
