UNSPSC 40141765: Drain separator

A type of device that is installed on the vapor or compression air pipe to release the water in the pipe to external side of the pipe by using the difference of specific gravity between the vapor or compression air and air.

UNSPSC 40141765 Drain separator (Commodity) encompasses pipes, fittings, valves, and related appurtenances that state and local water utilities, public works departments, and wastewater agencies procure for water main installation, replacement, stormwater management, and sewer system expansion. Recent state and local solicitations under this code reflect active procurement of ductile iron pipe, PVC pipe, mechanical joint fittings, gate valves, fire hydrants, curb stops, and miscellaneous drainage and water distribution components, typically as materials-only contracts or as-needed supply agreements. Issuing bodies include municipal water utilities and public works departments (City of Phoenix, City of Sarasota, City of Calhoun, City of Palm Bay, City of Lavonia), county water and utilities divisions (Orange County Florida, Gwinnett County Georgia), and transit authorities subject to federal pass-through compliance requirements such as DBE and Buy American Act provisions. The majority of recent activity concentrates in Florida and Georgia, with secondary activity in Arizona and California.

Recent opportunities span infrastructure modernization across multiple project types. The City of Phoenix Public Works Department issued IFB 26-SW-0379 in July 2026 for an as-needed three-year supply contract of HDPE and PVC pipe ranging from 0.75 to 24 inches in diameter, plus fittings and hand tools, with 24-to-48-hour delivery requirements and F.O.B. destination pricing. The City of Sarasota issued ITB 26-31JS in June 2026 (deadline passed) for materials-only bids on pipe, fittings, and appurtenances for the Small AC Water Main Replacement project, with strict conformance to the City's Potable Water Approved Material List and ninety-day delivery windows. The City of Calhoun, Georgia solicited sealed bids in May 2026 for 69 line items of water main materials including 12-, 8-, and 6-inch ductile iron mains, PVC piping, mechanical joint fittings, gate valves, and fire hydrants for a 3,740-foot water main relocation project. Orange County, Florida's five-year Sewer Pipes and Fittings contract (IFB Y26-126) spans 56 line items of PVC and ductile iron pipes, fittings, valves, and manhole components with approximately $28.7 million in estimated five-year spending, pricing on a percentage-discount-from-MSRP model, and Service Disabled Veteran Business preference at tiered rates. The City of Palm Bay issued an RFI in May 2026 seeking input on stormwater pipe rehabilitation and replacement solutions along the Malabar Road corridor as a pre-solicitation planning phase. Contract structures vary from firm-fixed-price materials supply to as-needed master agreements with extended terms (three to five years with renewal options), and most require compliance with Buy American Act, American Iron and Steel, Davis-Bacon prevailing wage, E-Verify, and state-level DBE or HUB participation goals where federal funding is present.
