UNSPSC 40141911: Steel ducts or ductwork

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

UNSPSC 40141911 Steel ducts or ductwork is a Commodity code, but recent state and local opportunities show activity concentrated in building automation systems, smoke and fire alarm air duct accessories, HVAC system replacements, and chiller/boiler maintenance rather than steel duct procurement alone. Orange County, Florida's October 2026 IFB for the Corrections Booking and Release Center, estimated at $2.89 million, encompasses retrofitting of fire/smoke dampers, terminal boxes, duct heaters, air handling units, and energy recovery units as part of a building automation system replacement with Johnson Controls Metasys controls and UL-864 compliant smoke control systems. The City of Charlotte's October 2026 RFP for CATS boiler and chiller maintenance and repair services and the Stephens County Board of Education's October 2026 RFP for districtwide renovations (estimated $20 million to $26 million) both include HVAC and duct-related work as components of broader facility upgrades. The Orlando Utilities Commission's Preferred Contractor Network registration includes HVAC/Duct Repair as one of 17 technical disciplines, though this program focuses on contractor qualification and demand generation rather than a discrete procurement. County and school-district purchasing offices dominate the issuing-body mix, with occasional participation from municipal utilities and transit agencies.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida and Georgia, with secondary opportunities in North Carolina and a multistate cooperative vehicle through Sourcewell. Orange County, Florida's sealed-bid process requires electronic submission via OpenGov e-Procurement with bids due October 20, 2026; the City of Charlotte's proposals close October 15, 2026; and Stephens County Schools' RFP deadline is October 9, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. EST. Service-Disabled Veteran-owned businesses receive a 5% preference on Orange County's $2.89 million contract. All three primary opportunities are current, with response deadlines between mid-October and late October 2026. The code shows limited direct procurement of steel ductwork in isolation; instead, duct components appear as line items within larger mechanical systems upgrades, building automation projects, and facility renovations driven by energy efficiency standards, fire safety compliance, or deferred maintenance backlogs.
