UNSPSC 40142507: Conical strainer

UNSPSC 40142507 Conical strainer is a Commodity code that in practice captures components and parts used in steam and condensate system maintenance and repair work procured by state and local facilities management operations. The County of Santa Clara Procurement Department's as-needed steam and condensate systems repairs solicitation (ITB-PRC-FY26-0708, due June 15, 2026) illustrates the actual buying pattern: county facilities departments and health systems require repair services that necessarily include replacement parts such as strainers alongside labor and equipment to maintain steam distribution infrastructure at multiple locations. The code's nominal focus on a single component type does not reflect how state and local procurement offices actually tag these opportunities — they typically classify the broader repair service contract rather than itemizing component SKUs separately, making the code a narrow fit for isolated strainer procurements but more relevant as a subordinate element within larger facilities maintenance contracts.

The County of Santa Clara represents the primary recent activity under this code. The $5.4 million estimated value ITB (invitation to bid) covers as-needed repairs at Facilities and Fleet Department and County of Santa Clara Health System locations, structured with additive bid items and subject to prevailing-wage requirements as public work. The solicitation appears to be the sole recent state and local opportunity directly tagged to this Commodity code in the available record, suggesting limited standalone procurement activity. Business development professionals evaluating this code should expect sporadic opportunities concentrated in county-level facilities management operations rather than regular demand signals across multiple jurisdictions or issuing bodies.
