UNSPSC 12165201: Non-potable water

Non-potable water.

UNSPSC 12165201 Non-potable water is a Commodity code tracking state and local procurement of bulk water supply, water system materials, and ancillary water-related goods and services. Recent activity shows demand spanning two distinct purchase categories: major water infrastructure construction and replacement (including mains, service lines, and hydrants), and consumable water products (bottled water delivery and dispensers). Cities and counties dominate the issuing body mix, with water districts, municipal transit authorities, and special districts appearing less frequently. Geographic activity concentrates in the South and West, particularly Florida, Oregon, Mississippi, California, and Utah, with scattered activity in Texas and Arizona.

Representative recent solicitations illustrate the scope breadth. The City of Beaverton, Oregon posted ITB #26-079 on June 30, 2026 (due July 21, 2026) for approximately 3,500 feet of ductile iron water main replacement, service line and hydrant work in the Juniper Terrace neighborhood, with estimated project cost of $1.2–$1.3 million, domestic-manufacture requirements, prevailing wage obligations, and COBID-certified subcontractor good-faith-effort goals. The Orange County Transportation Authority issued RFQ 250431 on June 29, 2026 (due June 26, 2026—now closed) for bi-weekly five-gallon bottled water delivery and hot/cold water dispensers at two facilities through June 30, 2028, budgeted at $52,000 total ($25,000 in FY 26–27, $27,000 in FY 27–28), with 100 percent cost evaluation and firm-fixed pricing. Collier County, Florida solicited sealed bids for the Naples Park 103rd & 104th Avenues North Public Utilities Renewal project (due May 15, 2026) involving 11,330 linear feet of aging asbestos concrete water main removal and replacement with new 8-inch and 12-inch PVC mains, sewer and stormwater conveyance, and roadway reconstruction within a residential right-of-way, budgeted at $17.8 million with 510-day substantial completion deadline and $5,249 per-day liquidated damages. Infrastructure work typically requires Oregon or Florida contractor licensing, prevailing wage certification (Oregon Revised Statutes or Davis-Bacon Act), bid guaranties (10–5 percent), and performance/payment bonds at 100 percent of contract value; consumable water purchases impose cost-only evaluation, firm pricing, and compliance with California or local sanctions certification.
