UNSPSC 40142007: Special hoses

UNSPSC 40142007 Special hoses, a Commodity code, encompasses replacement and maintenance hoses for industrial and municipal infrastructure, including pump components, fire hoses, and jet nozzles that state and local governments procure to sustain wastewater treatment, water distribution, fire response, and public safety operations. The issuing bodies are primarily water and wastewater authorities and county departments—Fulton County Department of Watershed Management, Gwinnett County Department of Water Resources, and Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners appear in recent activity. Solicitations cover Watson-Marlow Bredel pump parts and replacement hoses for water reclamation centers; fire hoses meeting specified pressure ratings, diameter, and length requirements; and jet nozzles for water system operations. Procurement occurs through IFB (Invitation for Bid), ITB (Invitation to Bid), and IWQ (Informal Written Quotation) notice types, with vendors typically required to provide detailed specifications, product equivalencies, delivery timelines, and project references.
