UNSPSC 40142017: Welding hose

Hose approved for use in welding.

UNSPSC 40142017 Welding hose, a Commodity code, encompasses the purchase and installation of flexible vent extraction systems, welding equipment (plasma cutters, saws, welder/generators), and consumable welding materials and supplies—reflecting what educational institutions, transit authorities, and municipal utilities are actually procuring under this classification. State and local jurisdictions soliciting under the code include community college districts (Mt. San Antonio Community College District, Collin College), public school systems (Dalton Public Schools), municipal water districts (North Texas Municipal Water District), and transit authorities (Charlotte Area Transit System). Recent opportunities span both capital equipment purchases and turnkey service contracts for ongoing maintenance and repair, indicating that the code captures both goods procurement and the labor-intensive services that accompany installation and field operations.

Recent activity concentrates in California, Texas, and North Carolina. Mt. San Antonio Community College District (California) posted an IFB in September 2026 for the purchase and installation of forty-seven flexible vent extraction arms with a July 2026 response date and an Engineer's Base Bid Estimate of $150,000, requiring California C-20 licensing and prevailing-wage compliance with a 3% DVBE participation goal. Collin College (Texas) solicited through ITB for a three-year welding materials and supplies contract with an estimated annual volume of approximately $400,000, evaluating vendors on price (35%), references (15%), quality (15%), and meeting district needs (15%), among other criteria. Dalton Public Schools (Georgia) issued an RFB in September 2026 for specific welding lab equipment (plasma cutter, saw, welder units) with a September 2026 response date and three-day delivery requirement. Charlotte Area Transit System (North Carolina) posted an RFP in June 2026 for Blue Line track welding services as a rebid, with proposals due August 2026, covering maintenance, inspection, and repair under Maintenance of Way rail standards. North Texas Municipal Water District (Texas) sought bids for two Lincoln Frontier 400X diesel-driven welder/generators in July 2026.
