UNSPSC 40141909: Bronze ducts or ductwork

Bronze tubing, canal or passage by which fluid or gas is conveyed.

UNSPSC 40141909 Bronze ducts or ductwork is a Commodity code covering sheet-metal ducting, dampers, and associated air-distribution accessories for HVAC and smoke-control systems in building construction and retrofit projects. State and local governments procure these products primarily as components within larger mechanical systems installations, building automation upgrades, and facility renovations—rarely as standalone commodity purchases. The issuing bodies are county facilities departments (corrections, utilities infrastructure), municipal transit authorities (CATS), and school districts undergoing districtwide capital improvements. Orange County, Florida appears as a recent active buyer, soliciting fire-alarm and smoke-control air duct accessories as part of a $2.89 million building automation system retrofit at a corrections facility.

Recent activity centers on Florida and Georgia. Orange County, Florida posted an IFB for Corrections Booking and Release Center Building Automation System, Smoke and Fire Alarm Air Duct Accessories (Solicitation Y26-718) with bids due October 20, 2026, requiring sealed electronic submission via OpenGov e-Procurement Platform; the scope includes replacement of dampers, terminal boxes, duct heaters, and air-handling components, with a Service Disabled Veteran-owned business 5% price preference available. Stephens County Board of Education in Toccoa, Georgia issued an RFP for districtwide renovations and modifications (PE55598NONST2027000000002, proposals due October 9, 2026) encompassing HVAC improvements and fire-alarm system replacements across school facilities as part of a $20 million to $26 million ESPLOST-funded capital program. The City of Charlotte posted an RFP for CATS boiler and chiller maintenance services (26920271769, due October 15, 2026), though that opportunity focuses on service rather than equipment procurement. The code shows light recent activity; only one opportunity directly solicits ductwork and duct accessories as a primary deliverable.
