UNSPSC 40141769: Valve box or valve room

A structure that is made in circular cylinder-shape or rectangular shape made in the reinforced plastic and other materials to prevent various valve structures of water and sewer from breaking from outer impact and others.

UNSPSC 40141769 Valve box or valve room, a Commodity code, covers the supply of water and wastewater infrastructure components state and local governments purchase to support meter installations, utility line management, and underground infrastructure systems. Recent solicitations show governments buying valve boxes, lids, extensions, meter vaults, precast concrete pads and sleeves, and related underground access infrastructure for water distribution and reclaimed water systems. Issuing bodies span county utilities departments, municipal water and public works agencies, and regional water authorities across multiple states. Palm Beach County Board of County Commissioners, Kissimmee Utility Authority, Pinellas County, Fulton County, and Douglasville-Douglas County Water and Sewer Authority appear as repeat buyers in the recent activity. The code captures both blanket supply agreements for on-demand inventory replenishment and project-specific infrastructure procurement tied to meter replacement and system modernization initiatives.

Representative recent opportunities include Palm Beach County's term contract for valve boxes, lids, and extensions (RFQ 27-0002/KD, quotes due October 2, 2026 with 10% SBE preference and 5% local-preference discounts available), Kissimmee Utility Authority's rebid for precast concrete pads, sleeves, and posts on an annual requirements basis (AR 26-050-JG, bids due August 11, 2026), Douglasville-Douglas County Water and Sewer Authority's annual water and sewer pipe fittings and related inventory materials solicitation (IFB 327, bids due October 7, 2026), and Pinellas County's coordinated sewer and water main improvements project requiring valve installation and gate valve work (IFB 260652ITBC, minimum qualification due October 13, 2026 with 10% SBE goal). Recent activity concentrates in Florida and Georgia, with secondary volume in Texas, Oregon, and California. The code sees steady demand driven by aging water infrastructure replacement, AMI (Advanced Meter Infrastructure) system deployments, and regulatory requirements to upgrade utility systems—a trend supporting near-term pursuit by suppliers of precast concrete products, plastic and metal meter boxes and vaults, and valve assembly components.
