UNSPSC 12165201: Non-potable water

Non-potable water.

UNSPSC 12165201 Non-potable water (Commodity) covers state and local procurement of non-potable water delivery, storage, and distribution infrastructure—including bottled water supply, water hauling services, and irrigation system components. The code sees primary application in two distinct market segments: bottled water and dispenser rental services for administrative and operational facilities, and potable water hauling for remote or supplemental supply to state parks and municipal systems. Recent solicitations show wide issuing-body mix spanning transportation authorities, state resource agencies, municipal water districts, and city governments.

The Orange County Transportation Authority has posted multiple RFQs for five-gallon bottled drinking water and dispenser rental across two-year and three-year terms, with budgets of $52,000 (RFQ 250431, due June 26, 2026 already passed) and $21,600 (RFQ 250433, due September 8, 2026), covering both cold and hot dispensers at Santa Ana and Garden Grove bus operations facilities. The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department issued an IFB on August 11, 2026 for potable water hauling to Franklin Mountains State Park and Hueco Tanks State Park, requiring weekly delivery of 2,500 to 5,000 gallons and on-demand emergency service, with bids due August 25, 2026 at 2:00 PM Central Time. Activity also appears in irrigation infrastructure—the City of DeBary, Florida solicited competitive bids for Rob Sullivan Park irrigation system improvements (Bid 03-15) including Hunter system controller and related components, with a $90,000 engineer estimate. Issuing bodies include municipal governments (DeBary, Richland, and Beaverton), transit authorities (Orange County Transportation Authority in California), state resource agencies (Texas Parks and Wildlife Department), and municipal water districts (Culkin Water District in Mississippi). Geographic spread includes Florida, California, Texas, Mississippi, Oregon, and Utah, with particular recent density in Florida and California. Most opportunities are priced below $100,000, though infrastructure replacement projects move substantially higher; competitive bidding (IFB) and RFQ are the dominant notice types, with response dates clustered in May through September 2026.
