UNSPSC 40142505: Y strainer

UNSPSC 40142505 Y strainer is a Commodity code that captures replacement and repair components for steam and condensate piping systems installed in public facilities. State and local governments procure these fittings as part of broader as-needed maintenance and repair contracts for building mechanical systems serving multiple campus-style locations — facilities departments, health systems, and utility infrastructure. The work solicited under this code involves both the supply of Y strainers as discrete parts and their installation as part of larger steam system service calls, typically bundled with labor for system inspection, cleaning, and component replacement. County facilities and health system networks are the primary issuing bodies for this class of work, with as-needed (requirements-type) contracting structures that allow for recurring call-outs across the fiscal year.

The County of Santa Clara Procurement Department issued an ITB for As-Needed Steam and Condensate Systems Repairs Services (ITBPRCFY260708) with a response deadline of June 15, 2026, and an estimated contract value of $5.4 million. The scope covers repairs to steam and condensate systems at various locations serving the Facilities and Fleet Department and the County of Santa Clara Health System, with the contractor responsible for all labor, equipment, tools, materials, and supplies necessary to perform the work. The contract is structured as an as-needed vehicle with additive bid items. Recent activity under this code is concentrated in California, specifically in Santa Clara County, though the broader steam and condensate repair market spans health systems, universities, and large county government complexes across multiple states.
