UNSPSC 40141910: Zinc ducts or ductwork

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

UNSPSC 40141910 Zinc ducts or ductwork (Commodity) covers building mechanical systems components, but recent state and local activity shows little work actually solicited under this code's nominal scope. The single directly relevant opportunity is Orange County, Florida's sealed-bid procurement for fire and smoke alarm air duct accessories as part of a $2.89 million building automation system retrofit at the Corrections Booking and Release Center (Solicitation Y26-718, responses due October 20, 2026). The remaining opportunities in the data set — a Charlotte transit authority's boiler and chiller maintenance RFP, a Georgia school district's districtwide renovation and modification RFP, an Orlando utility's preferred contractor network registration, a Sourcewell law enforcement equipment cooperative procurement, and a county purchasing department relocation notice — fall outside the code's scope or represent different procurement categories entirely. The Orange County project requires installation of UL-864 compliant smoke control systems with retrofitted fire and smoke dampers, terminal boxes, duct heaters, and energy recovery units, with work sequenced during normal business hours Monday through Friday and contractor responsibility for temporary heating, cooling, and daily cleanup. A Service Disabled Veteran-owned business set-aside offers a 5% preference; a bid bond of not less than 10% of the estimated contract amount and subsequent Performance and Payment Bonds are required upon award.

Geographic activity concentrates in Florida (Orange County), with secondary representation in North Carolina, Georgia, and Washington state, though most of those opportunities do not align with zinc ductwork procurement. The Orange County IFB closed October 20, 2026 and represents the clearest signal of demand under this code in the recent opportunity block. Questions were accepted through the OpenGov e-Procurement Platform with a September 10, 2026 deadline; a non-mandatory pre-bid meeting with site visit occurred September 1, 2026. Electronic submission via OpenGov was mandatory; hand-delivered, mailed, faxed, or emailed offers were rejected. Liquidated damages were set at $150 per calendar day for failure to meet substantial and final completion dates. This code shows sparse recent activity and does not appear to drive material state and local procurement volume at present.
