UNSPSC 40142504: Steam strainers

UNSPSC 40142504 Steam strainers is a Commodity code that encompasses repair and maintenance services for steam and condensate systems at public facilities, not merely the strainer components themselves. State and local governments procure these services to maintain operational steam distribution networks across multiple facility types, including county health systems, administrative buildings, and other infrastructure. The work involves hands-on repair of steam piping, condensate return systems, and associated equipment at various locations within a single jurisdiction. Issuing bodies include county facilities and fleet departments managing multi-building steam plants and distribution systems. The scope typically includes all labor, equipment, tools, materials, and supplies required to complete repairs as specified in the contract documents, and work is commonly structured as an as-needed vehicle with additive bid items rather than a fixed single-project scope.

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, with bids due June 15, 2026 at 3:00 p.m. The estimated contract value is $5.4 million, covering repairs at various locations for the Facilities and Fleet Department and the County of Santa Clara Health System. This is public work subject to prevailing-wage requirements, with a 10% bid bond requirement ($540,000 minimum). The bid documents are held on file at the County of Santa Clara Procurement Department, and submission is through Biddingo. California shows recent activity under this code, though the single opportunity in the source does not support characterization of broader geographic distribution or issuing-body patterns across multiple states or jurisdictions.
