UNSPSC 40142205: Welding regulator acetylene

Used specifically to regulate acetylene pressure going to cutting torch

UNSPSC 40142205 Welding regulator acetylene, a Commodity code, identifies individual welding equipment and consumable products that state and local governments buy for vocational training programs, maintenance operations, and facility repairs. Recent solicitations show school districts, community colleges, and municipal utilities purchasing specific welding equipment units (plasma cutters, welder/generators, welding machines) and broader consumables (welding rods, electrodes, sheets, tubes, and bars in steel, stainless steel, and aluminum). The issuing bodies are primarily community colleges and school districts running welding programs, along with municipal utilities managing maintenance operations. Collin College and the Collin County Community College District appear as repeat buyers, each procuring welding materials and supplies on multi-vendor three-year contracts; Dalton Public Schools and the North Texas Municipal Water District represent one-time equipment purchases for specific operational needs.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas. Dalton Public Schools (Georgia) posted an IFB on September 1, 2026, for welding laboratory equipment at The Dalton Academy with a September 25, 2026 response deadline, specifying Powermig 262MP Edu OnePak units alongside plasma cutters and saws with three-day delivery required and one-million-dollar general liability insurance mandated. The North Texas Municipal Water District posted an IFB on July 9, 2026, for two Lincoln Frontier 400X diesel-driven welder/generators with a July 29, 2026 response deadline. Collin College and Collin County Community College District each established three-year contracts for welding materials, supplies, and equipment with estimated annual procurement volumes near $400,000, evaluated on purchase price (35 percent), references (15 percent), quality (15 percent), meeting district needs (15 percent), and secondary factors including state of Texas vendor status and total cost of ownership, with encouragement for small business, minority-owned, veteran-owned, and female-owned enterprise participation.
