UNSPSC 40142007: Special hoses

UNSPSC 40142007 Special hoses, a Commodity code, covers hose assemblies and fire hoses that state and local governments procure for operational, maintenance, and emergency-response functions. Recent activity shows demand for fire hoses meeting specific pressure ratings and dimensions, hose assemblies for transit vehicle maintenance, and jet nozzles for water systems. Issuing bodies include county water departments, fire rescue operations, transit authorities, and general county procurement offices sourcing consumable and capital supplies on both emergency and routine bases. Purchases range from single-item expedited procurements to annual consumables contracts, with pricing driven by specification compliance, delivery capability, and vendor responsibility factors.

Geographic activity centers on Georgia and Florida, with recent solicitations from Gwinnett County's Department of Water Resources (two quotations for fire hoses and jet nozzles issued May and June 2026) and Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners (janitorial and operational supplies including hose items, ITB due July 24, 2026, estimated at $765,679.84 for one year). The Dallas Area Rapid Transit Authority solicited a bolster-hose assembly through Dallas County in January 2026 on expedited terms emphasizing availability and delivery timeline. Issuing bodies use informal written quotations (IWQ) and competitive sealed bids (ITB), with awards based on lowest responsive and responsible pricing, specification conformity, and delivery performance. FOB Destination with freight prepaid is standard, and delivery windows typically span five to ten business days depending on urgency.
