UNSPSC 40142202: Fluid regulators

UNSPSC 40142202 Fluid regulators (Commodity) encompasses OEM replacement parts, analyzers, actuators, and associated repair and maintenance services for specialized process-control equipment installed across municipal water treatment, wastewater treatment, and reclaimed-water facilities. State and local governments procure these components under this code when existing systems require in-service replacement or repair, often through sole-source or single-source channels because the equipment is proprietary, manufacturer-specific, or already integrated into operating infrastructure. The issuing bodies are predominantly Florida municipalities and counties—the City of Tampa, Seminole County, Sarasota County, Collier County, Hillsborough County, and the City of Plant City dominate recent activity—along with scattered procurements from Austin Community College District and Eastern Municipal Water District in California and Orange County, Florida. Water and wastewater treatment facilities are the primary end-users, with procurement analysts and water production/utilities departments managing the buys.

Recent opportunities reflect two procurement patterns. First, sole-source and single-source notices for branded equipment and authorized parts: Tampa's intents to single-source Siemens Process Instrumentation products ($30,000 estimated annual cost), Wallace and Tiernan analyzers ($75,000), and Limitorque valves and actuators ($75,000); Seminole County's sole-source REXA actuator parts through PRO-CO, Inc.; Sarasota County's sole-source AUMA actuators through CS3 Waterworks; Plant City's sole-source REXA actuators through TSC Jacobs ($29,580); Collier County's intents to single-source ProMinent metering pumps and fluoride analyzers through TriNova, Inc., and Endress + Hauser analyzers and flow meters; and Hillsborough County's sole-source ONICON flow and BTU meters ($29,860) and DXP Enterprises proprietary equipment and parts ($6.6 million over five years). Second, competitive RFPs and RFQs for meter verification, calibration, and repair services (Eastern Municipal Water District, California) and ozone system maintenance across three Dallas water treatment plants (36-month IDIQ, Dallas Water Utilities). Geographic concentration is heaviest in Florida, with secondary activity in Texas, California, and Oregon. These procurements target vendors holding OEM authorization, authorized distributor status, or exclusive regional representation; most carry lead times measured in weeks to months and require factory-certified personnel and warranty compliance.
