UNSPSC 40142602: Oil or Lpg or chemical rail/road tanker loading arm and gantry

A loading arm permits the transfer of liquid or liquefied gas from one tank to another through an articulated pipe system consisting of rigid piping and swivel joints to obtain flexibility. Gantries a bridge-like overhead structure with a platform supporting equipment such as a crane, signals, or cameras.

UNSPSC 40142602 Oil or LPG or chemical rail/road tanker loading arm and gantry is a Commodity code; however, the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show no alignment with tanker loading infrastructure. Instead, the sourced opportunities cluster around marine vessel maintenance, dock repair, and maritime infrastructure work — activities outside the code's stated scope. The Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia, Hillsborough County Fire Rescue, Pinellas County School District, Clay County Board of County Commissioners, and the County of Ventura have all posted solicitations tagged to this code for haul-out maintenance of research vessels, CBRN maritime vessel repair, dock and boardwalk replacement, marina redevelopment, and patrol boat servicing. These are dock and waterfront construction and repair services, not tanker loading equipment.

Activity spans Florida (Hillsborough County, Pinellas County), Georgia (University of Georgia, DeKalb County), and California (Ventura County), with most recent postings from June through October 2026. The representative opportunities include the University of Georgia's RFQ for R/V Savannah haul-out maintenance and repair with a mandatory site visit on October 26 and bids due November 11, 2026; Hillsborough County Fire Rescue's sole-source notice for CBRN vessel repair at Land's End Marina of Tampa LLC for $24,800 over one year; Pinellas County School District's IFB for dock and boardwalk repairs at Madeira Beach Fundamental K-8 School valued at approximately $462,745 with bids due April 20, 2026; and the County of Ventura's RFP for Sheriff's Boat 1 maintenance services with proposals due June 15, 2026. This code shows little relevant recent procurement activity aligned to its nominal tanker loading equipment scope; the postings represent a clear category mismatch.
