UNSPSC 40142504: Steam strainers

UNSPSC 40142504 Steam strainers (Commodity) encompasses repair and maintenance services for steam and condensate systems at state and local facilities, as evidenced by as-needed service contracts posted by county facilities and health system departments. The code captures work involving the diagnostics, repair, and replacement of steam distribution and condensate return components, including strainers, traps, piping, and associated equipment that support heating and facility infrastructure. State and local facilities departments—particularly county governments operating large campuses serving multiple departments and health systems—are the primary buyers under this code, soliciting both emergency and planned repairs through as-needed service contracts structured with additive bid items.

The County of Santa Clara Procurement Department posted ITB-PRC-FY26-0708 on May 27, 2026, for as-needed steam and condensate systems repairs services across Facilities and Fleet Department and County of Santa Clara Health System locations, with bids due June 15, 2026, and an estimated contract value of $5.4 million. The ITB requires prevailing-wage compliance and electronic bid submission through Biddingo, with a 10% bid bond requirement ($540,000 minimum). Recent activity appears concentrated in California, though the source provides limited geographic breadth to characterize national distribution.
