UNSPSC 40141766: Snap tap with saddle for water works

A type of device that enables the boring work while the water is kept running when working to install the branch pipe (home entry pipe) from the main pipe for water.

UNSPSC 40141766 Snap tap with saddle for water works, a Commodity code, describes water system connection and appurtenance components that state and local governments procure as part of broader water infrastructure, stormwater, and sewer system supply contracts. The recent solicitations tagged under this code show limited direct activity for snap taps alone; instead, state and local water departments are bundling snap taps, saddles, and similar fittings within larger material supply contracts for pipe replacement, water main relocation, outfall rehabilitation, and emergency infrastructure work. The City of Phoenix Public Works Department (IFB 26-SW-0379, due August 12, 2026) is soliciting as-needed supply of HDPE and PVC pipe, fittings, elbows, couplings, and hand tools on a three-year term with two optional one-year extensions, requiring local inventory, 24- to 48-hour delivery, and a dedicated contract representative. The City of Calhoun, Georgia (Bid #2026-00299, due June 18, 2026) requested sealed bids for 69 line items of materials for water main relocation along S.R. 156, including ductile iron mains, PVC piping, mechanical joint fittings, gate valves, fire hydrants, curb stops, and accessory kits. The City of Sarasota (ITB #26-31JS, posted June 29, 2026, response deadline passed) procured materials-only bids for pipe, fittings, and appurtenances conforming to the City's Potable Water Approved Material List, with delivery within 90 calendar days to the City Utilities Department and a 12-month warranty requirement.

Issuing bodies include mid-sized cities and county water utilities in Florida, Georgia, and Arizona. Florida dominates recent activity, with multiple municipalities (Sarasota, Palm Bay, Orange County) issuing water and sewer system supply and construction contracts. Georgia municipalities (Calhoun, Lavonia) and Texas (Dallas) also appear in the pipeline. The code sees activity primarily from municipal water departments and county utilities divisions procuring materials for planned or emergency pipe replacement and system rehabilitation rather than from dedicated distributors of fittings alone. Opportunities are bundled supply contracts under IFB, ITB, and RFQ mechanisms, with response dates spread across the second and third quarters of 2026. Geographic concentration is strongest in Florida and Georgia, reflecting aging water infrastructure renewal across the Southeast; West Coast activity (Santa Clara County pavement rehabilitation) and Southwest presence (Phoenix) appear intermittent. Most contracts emphasize as-needed supply on fixed-price terms, local or rapid delivery, approved material lists or manufacturer standards compliance (AWWA, ANSI), and long contract terms (three to five years) with optional renewals.
