UNSPSC 40141921: Precious metal ducts or ductwork

Precious metal tubing, canal or passage by which fluid or gas is conveyed

UNSPSC 40141921 Precious metal ducts or ductwork is a Commodity code that in practice spans fire-alarm and building-automation system ductwork, smoke-control dampers, and HVAC terminal components installed during facility renovations and system upgrades rather than precious-metal specialty goods. State and local governments solicit these components primarily through counties, municipal utilities, and school districts executing capital facility projects. Orange County, Florida; the City of Charlotte; and Stephens County Schools in Georgia have posted work involving smoke-control ductwork, chiller and boiler system components, and HVAC modifications, indicating that the code captures mechanical and control-system infrastructure tied to life-safety and energy-management upgrades.

Recent activity clusters in the Southeast. Orange County, Florida issued an IFB (Y26718) for a $2.89 million Corrections Booking and Release Center building-automation and fire-alarm ductwork project with bids due October 20, 2026, requiring replacement of smoke-control dampers, terminal boxes, duct heaters, and energy recovery units under a Johnson Controls Metasys system; Service Disabled Veteran-owned businesses receive a 5% preference.

An Orlando Utilities Commission Preferred Contractor Network registration (posted September 7, 2026) includes HVAC/Duct Repair as one of 17 disciplines, though that program targets residential and commercial customer work rather than utility-owned infrastructure. Geographic spread remains limited to Florida and Georgia in the recent posting window; no activity in other states is evident in the opportunities block.
