UNSPSC 40142016: Vacuum hose

Hose to handle vacuum functions.

UNSPSC 40142016 Vacuum hose, a Commodity code, covers the procurement of hoses and hose assemblies used in state and local operations, though recent solicitation activity shows minimal direct alignment with the code's nominal scope. The actual work posted under this code spans operational equipment parts for wastewater treatment, fire-rescue consumables, and water-resources infrastructure components—a mismatch suggesting the code is infrequently or inaccurately tagged for hose-related purchases. Recent opportunities instead show vacuum and pressure hoses solicited as discrete components within larger janitorial, operational, and utility-supply procurements rather than as standalone hose commodity buys. Issuing bodies include county departments of watershed management and water resources, county boards of commissioners, and county fire-rescue departments operating across multi-facility jurisdictions.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia and Florida. Gwinnett County's Department of Water Resources posted two informal written quotations in May and June 2026 for fire hoses (100 units, 1-inch diameter, 250 psi rating, 50 feet in length under IWQ 128186, due May 19, 2026) and jet nozzles (IWQ 131560, due June 23, 2026). Fulton County's Department of Watershed Management solicited hose pump parts and replacement components for Watson-Marlow Bredel pumps across multiple Water Reclamation Centers under IFB/GS/DWM/2606-1260240, with bids due July 31, 2026. Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners issued an ITB for janitorial and operational supplies with an estimated contract value of $765,679.84 for the Fire Rescue Department, due July 24, 2026. The code shows limited recent direct vacuum-hose activity; most posted opportunities bundle hoses as components within equipment maintenance or facilities-supply contracts rather than as primary commodities.
