UNSPSC 40142204: Welding regulator oxygen

Used specifically to regulate oxygen pressure going to cutting torch

UNSPSC 40142204 Welding regulator oxygen (Commodity) covers welding equipment and supplies that state and local governments procure for educational programs, maintenance operations, and infrastructure work. Recent solicitations show that school districts, community colleges, and municipal water districts are acquiring welding lab equipment (plasma cutters, welding machines, welder/generators), welding consumables (rods, electrodes, sheets, tubes, pipes in steel, stainless steel, and aluminum), and specialized apparatus. The work spans capital equipment purchases for new or upgraded welding facilities, consumables contracts supporting ongoing operations, and replacement of worn machinery. Issuing bodies include school districts, community colleges, municipal water authorities, and county agencies; Collin College and Collin County Community College District appear as repeat buyers of welding materials on multi-year contracts.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas. Dalton Public Schools (Georgia) posted an IFB on September 1, 2026, for welding lab equipment at The Dalton Academy with a September 25, 2026, response deadline, specifying nine Powermig 262MP Edu OnePak units, one Flex Cut 45 Plasma cutter, and one MBS-1018-11x18 Saw with three-day delivery and one-million-dollar general liability insurance required. The North Texas Municipal Water District Maintenance Department solicited bids in July 2026 for two Lincoln Frontier 400X diesel-driven welder/generators. Collin College issued an ITB (FY2024-ITB-020) in July 2026 for a three-year welding materials and supplies contract (May 1, 2024, through April 30, 2027) with approximately $400,000 in annual procurement volume, evaluating on purchase price (35 percent), references (15 percent), quality (15 percent), and other factors including state-of-Texas vendor status. Collin County Community College District issued a parallel three-year solicitation (FY2024-ITB-024) with similar scope and $400,000 anticipated annual volume, both open to multi-vendor awards with emphasis on responsive account representatives and competitive pricing.
