UNSPSC 40142012: Food and beverage hose

Hose used in the food and beverage industry.

UNSPSC 40142012 Food and beverage hose is a Commodity code covering fluid-transport hose assemblies and components procured by state and local governments for operational and emergency-response use. Recent state and local opportunities under this code reveal actual procurement of fire hoses, jet nozzles, and specialized hose assemblies for water resources and transit operations — work that extends beyond simple food-service applications to include critical infrastructure and public-safety equipment. Issuing bodies soliciting under the code span county governments (Hillsborough County in Florida, Gwinnett County in Georgia, Dallas County in Texas) and independent transit authorities (Dallas Area Rapid Transit Authority). Work is typically acquired through competitive informal written quotations (IWQ) or expedited purchase orders, with suppliers expected to meet strict specifications, deliver within tight timeframes, and provide product samples and project references on request.

Geographic activity centers on the Southeast and Texas, with recent opportunities posted in Georgia (Gwinnett County, two IWQs in May and June 2026), Florida (Hillsborough County, ITB posted July 7, 2026, due July 24), and Texas (DART purchase order, January–February 2026). Representative recent work includes Gwinnett County's IWQ 128186 for 100 units of fire hose (250 psi, 50 feet, 1 inch diameter, single jacket) due May 19, 2026 with delivery to the F. Wayne Hill Water Resources Center Warehouse in Buford, Georgia; Hillsborough County Fire Rescue Department's ITB2600319 for consumable operational supplies including hose components estimated at $765,679.84 for one year, due July 24, 2026; and DART's expedited purchase order for a specialized hose assembly (HOSE, ASSY., BOLSTER-C, 31.15W/2_3/4M. ADAPTERS) due February 2, 2026. All recent procurements require FOB Destination pricing with freight prepaid, delivery within five to ten business days, and compliance with ineligible-source debarment lists.
