UNSPSC 40142005: Material handling hoses

UNSPSC 40142005 Material handling hoses is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure replacement hoses, pump components, and hose assemblies for fluid transfer in municipal water, wastewater, and emergency-response operations. Recent solicitations show scope ranging from specialized reinforced pump hoses with nylon-cord reinforcement and chemical-resistant liners (natural rubber, nitrile, or EPDM) to complete hose kits paired with adapters, groove couplers, and fittings for trailer-mounted pump systems. Issuing bodies include municipal water authorities, city departments of watershed management and utilities, county boards of commissioners, and cities procuring equipment for lift-station rehabilitation, bypass pumping during facility maintenance, and emergency response operations. The code attracts both original-equipment manufacturers and authorized distributors for specific pump brands, with some solicitations requiring vendor certification or equivalency documentation to support equipment interoperability and warranty compliance.

Geographic activity concentrates in Florida and Georgia, with recent solicitations from the City of Atlanta, City of Pembroke Pines (Broward County), Hillsborough County, and Macon Water Authority (Bibb County, Georgia), alongside procurement from the City of Gallup, New Mexico. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Atlanta's pre-advertisement notice for an IFB on Bredel brand pump parts and hoses for four water-reclamation facilities (posted April 21, 2026, due May 21, 2026); the City of Gallup's ITB 2621 for a trailer-mounted diesel pump system with PVC suction and discharge hoses, adapters, and float assemblies, due June 15, 2026; Hillsborough County's ITB 26-00167 for centrifuge mobile sludge dewatering unit rentals across three equipment sizes with an estimated five-year value of $6.62 million, due April 2, 2026; and the Macon Water Authority's IFB for a replacement by-pass pump with floats and solar charging equipment, due April 16, 2026. No standout repeat buyers emerge from the recent-opportunities block, and no set-aside designations or incumbent vendors are identified across the solicitations.
