UNSPSC 40141913: Cement ducts or ductwork

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

UNSPSC 40141913 Cement ducts or ductwork is a Commodity code that in recent state and local solicitations covers smoke control and fire alarm air duct components, including fire and smoke dampers, terminal boxes, duct heaters, and air handling units installed as part of building automation and life-safety system retrofits. The code sees activity primarily from county facilities and transit authorities managing large mechanical and HVAC infrastructure across correction facilities, transit maintenance depots, and school district campuses. Recent solicitations emphasize replacement and retrofit of existing ductwork systems, damper controls, and integration with building automation platforms — work typically bundled with broader HVAC and fire-life-safety system upgrades rather than procurement of duct materials alone. Issuing bodies include Orange County, Florida (corrections and jail facilities), Charlotte transit authorities (CATS facilities), and school districts undertaking districtwide mechanical and facility renovations.
