UNSPSC 40142021: Rock dust hose

Hose used in underground mining to rockdust mine for control of coal dust.

UNSPSC 40142021 Rock dust hose, a Commodity code, frames procurement activity narrowly but recent state and local solicitations show that governments are buying a much broader range of hydraulic hoses, fittings, couplers, and repair services—not rock dust hose specifically. State and local buyers are soliciting hydraulic hose assemblies in multiple PSI ratings and diameters, quick-connect couplings in stainless steel, brass elbows, bushings, and fittings tailored to compactor, heavy equipment, and municipal fleet operations. The issuing bodies span city departments (Phoenix Public Works, Tampa Solid Waste & Environmental Program Management, Atlanta Department of Procurement), state transportation departments (Kentucky Transportation Cabinet Division of Equipment), and county equipment divisions (Seminole County). Service providers are also competing to supply on-site and mobile hydraulic hose repair and replacement, with two-hour response times, warranty coverage, and labor billed at quarter-hour increments for emergency and after-hours work.

Solicitations cluster in Florida (Tampa and Seminole County on multiple RFQs for compactor hose assemblies and fittings; Atlanta on repair services), Kentucky (Kentucky Transportation Cabinet issuing dual RFBs for Parker brand couplers and hose assemblies rated 3000 PSI, closing May 7, 2026), Arizona (City of Phoenix Public Works IFB 27-FSD-0353 for hydraulic hose repair and replacement services, due August 13, 2026, with initial term commencing November 1, 2026), and Ohio (State of Ohio quotation for miscellaneous hoses and fittings, bid due June 4, 2026). The City of Phoenix's solicitation is representative of the repair and replacement work: mobile on-site service at multiple service centers and aviation facilities, 90-day warranty on materials and workmanship, and a three-year initial contract with two one-year renewal options. The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet's paired RFBs for hydraulic couplers and hoses (RFB60526000005471 and RFB60526000005472, both closing May 7, 2026, at 1:30 p.m. Eastern Time) illustrate supply procurement with annual volumes of 30 to 500 units per line item and best-value evaluation weighting 95 points for lowest price and 5 points for best delivery time. Reciprocal preferences and qualified-bidder preferences (Kentucky Correctional Industries, Kentucky Industries for the Blind) apply in Kentucky; small business participation plans are noted in Phoenix and Florida.
