UNSPSC 20121104: Cement bulk material equipment

UNSPSC 20121104 Cement bulk material equipment is a Commodity code covering the procurement of large prestressed concrete storage tanks and associated foundation systems for municipal water infrastructure. State and local governments buy finished concrete tanks—typically in the two to five million-gallon range—along with integrated piping, mixing systems, and accessory equipment such as SCADA controls, electrical service, valves, and structural appurtenances. Recent solicitations show that issuing bodies are primarily municipal utilities departments pursuing capital replacement and expansion projects. The work is specialty-contractor driven, with qualification barriers including minimum years of experience in prestressed concrete tank construction, prior completed installations of similar scale, and state-level licensing or certification requirements. The City of Calhoun, Georgia Utilities Department and the City of Marietta, Georgia are the named recent buyers.

Both recent opportunities originated in Georgia, with Calhoun issuing an IFB for a 2-million-gallon prestressed concrete ground storage tank (solicitation PE76500NONST2026000000021, due June 18, 2026) and Marietta issuing an IFB for a 5-million-gallon prestressed concrete tank replacement (solicitation PE66365NONST2026000000031, due February 24, 2026). Calhoun's scope included deep aggregate pier foundations, geogrid, concrete floor slab, mixing system, yard piping, fencing, grading, soil stabilization, and erosion control, with 240-day completion and acceptable manufacturers limited to CROM Corporation, PreCon Corporation, or engineer-approved equivalents; the project was locally funded with no federal requirements. Marietta's scope added demolition of the existing 4.3-million-gallon steel tank and integration of SCADA equipment and electrical service. Both procurements required mandatory pre-bid meetings and detailed prequalification submittals. The geographic spread shown is limited to Georgia; the source provides no activity in other states or regions.
