UNSPSC 40141919: Aluminum ducts or ductwork

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

UNSPSC 40141919 Aluminum ducts or ductwork is a Commodity code that covers fabrication, installation, and accessory components for aluminum duct systems in building HVAC, fire-alarm, and smoke-control applications. The recent activity shows state and local governments procuring aluminum ductwork primarily as part of larger building automation, fire-life-safety retrofit, and facility renovation projects rather than as standalone duct supply. Orange County, Florida's Corrections Booking and Release Center project, for example, called for retrofit of fire and smoke dampers, terminal boxes, duct heaters, and air handling units as part of a $2.89 million building automation system replacement. Counties and school districts dominate the issuing-body mix; the Stephens County Board of Education in Georgia is pursuing districtwide renovations including HVAC improvements funded through ESPLOST, and the Charlotte transit authority (CATS) solicited boiler and chiller maintenance across facilities where ductwork components support those systems. These jurisdictions typically bundle ductwork procurement within larger mechanical or construction contracts rather than issuing standalone RFQs for duct supply.

Recent opportunities cluster in the Southeast, with Orange County and Orlando-area activity in Florida, Stephens County in Georgia, and Charlotte in North Carolina representing the primary posting activity over the past two months. The Orange County IFB for Corrections Booking and Release Center Building Automation System, Smoke and Fire Alarm Air Duct Accessories (Y26-718) closes October 20, 2026, and requires sealed bids through the OpenGov e-Procurement Platform; Service Disabled Veteran-owned businesses receive a 5 percent preference. The Stephens County Board of Education RFP for districtwide renovations and modifications (PE55598NONST2027000000002), due October 9, 2026, encompasses fire-alarm system replacements, roof and HVAC improvements, and facility modifications across multiple schools with an estimated construction budget of $20 million to $26 million. Both solicitations emphasize pre-bid meetings, site verification of existing conditions, and contractor responsibility for sequencing work around occupied facilities during normal business hours.
