UNSPSC 40142200: Fluid and gas regulators

UNSPSC 40142200 Fluid and gas regulators (Class) covers the supply of pressure-control components for gas and fluid systems, with recent state and local procurement activity dominated by natural gas utility regulators for residential and light commercial distribution. Collin College in Texas has issued two multi-vendor invitations to bid (FY2024-ITB-020 and FY2024-ITB-024) for three-year welding materials contracts estimated at approximately $400,000 annually each, though these solicitations address welding consumables rather than regulators and appear to reflect code tagging mismatches. The most directly relevant recent opportunity is the City of Lawrenceville's February 2026 sealed bid for 1,000 residential natural gas regulators (7-inch water column set point) and 250 residential/light commercial regulators (2-pound delivery pressure set point), with technical requirements specifying cast grey iron bodies, die-cast aluminum diaphragm cases, and interchangeable aluminum orifices. Issuing bodies pursuing work under this code include municipal gas departments and community colleges, with municipal utilities representing the primary customer segment for gas regulation equipment.

Geographic activity centers on Georgia and Texas, with Lawrenceville and Statesboro (Georgia) actively procuring natural gas infrastructure components and Collin College (Texas) soliciting through multi-year contracts. The Lawrenceville procurement represents a five-year term (initial annual period plus four one-year renewals) with firm pricing requirements and addenda management (Addendum #1 issued March 19, 2026, addressing carton orientation and separation specifications). The City of Statesboro's February 2026 solicitation for the Belair Subdivision Gas Main & Service Replacement Project (due March 26, 2026) involves construction of approximately 4,600 linear feet of 2-inch polyethylene gas main and 12 residential services under CFR Title 49 Part 192 standards, with 120-day substantial completion and $1,000-per-day liquidated damages. Bids in both Georgia opportunities remain open for acceptance for 60 days post-opening, and both require mandatory pre-bid conferences. The code shows active solicitation in municipal utilities and education-sector procurement across the Southeast and South, though the recent opportunities reflect a mix of true regulator procurement and construction-phase gas distribution work.
