UNSPSC 40141907: Brass ducts or ductwork

Brass tubing, canal or passage by which fluid or gas is conveyed

UNSPSC 40141907 Brass ducts or ductwork is a Commodity code that in recent state and local procurement activity covers fire and smoke control ductwork, dampers, and related air-handling components installed as part of building automation and HVAC system replacements and upgrades. The code sees active solicitation primarily from county and municipal facilities management, including corrections departments, transit authorities, and school districts seeking retrofits or new installations of fire-alarm ductwork, smoke dampers, terminal boxes, duct heaters, and air recovery units integrated with building control systems. Orange County, Florida issued an IFB on October 6, 2026 (sealed bids due October 20, 2026) for the Corrections Booking and Release Center building automation system and smoke/fire alarm air duct accessories retrofit, estimated at $2.89 million, requiring replacement of fire and smoke dampers, terminal boxes, duct heaters, and energy recovery units alongside Johnson Controls Metasys controls; the City of Charlotte issued an RFP on September 22, 2026 for preventative maintenance and repair of chiller and boiler systems at CATS facilities, and the Stephens County Board of Education solicited CM at Risk services on September 9, 2026 for districtwide renovations in Toccoa, Georgia, including fire-alarm system replacements across multiple schools (estimated $20 million to $26 million construction budget, proposals due October 9, 2026).

Activity concentrates in Florida and Georgia in the immediate pipeline, with Florida showing the most concrete near-term spend on corrections facilities and multi-building HVAC retrofits. Orange County's $2.89 million project requires sealed bids through the OpenGov e-Procurement Platform, mandates a non-mandatory pre-bid meeting with site visit, applies a 5% preference for Service Disabled Veteran-owned businesses, and imposes a 10% bid bond requirement; questions close September 10, 2026 at 5 p.m. EST. Stephens County's construction manager selection is scheduled to conclude by October 20, 2026, with preconstruction services beginning upon contract execution and substantial completion anticipated by December 2029. The Orlando Utilities Commission operates a Preferred Contractor Network registration program listing HVAC/Duct Repair as one of 17 technical disciplines available to qualified contractors, though OUC does not guarantee work distribution to PCN participants.
