UNSPSC 20142800: Production separators

UNSPSC 20142800 Production separators is a Class code encompassing specialized equipment used in water treatment and wastewater operations to remove solids, gases, and contaminants from process flows. State and local governments procure under this code primarily drive shafts, aerators, and allied components for water treatment plant upgrades and wastewater infrastructure maintenance. The issuing bodies span municipal water utilities and county water and wastewater authorities; the recent record shows activity from city water departments and county-level systems managing drinking water and wastewater lift stations. Work is typically accomplished through sole-source procurement when equipment compatibility with existing infrastructure is required or when a single manufacturer holds proprietary rights, though competitive RFPs for residuals removal and disposal services also appear under this classification.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida and Georgia. The City of Holly Hill, Florida posted a sole-source notice for a WesTech DS43 Dual Shaft Drive replacement at its Water Treatment Plant's softener unit, valued at $113,067.00 total ($79,159.00 equipment plus $33,908.00 installation), due September 22, 2020. Hillsborough County, Florida issued a sole-source procurement notice for Wet Well Wizard aeration systems and maintenance across county lift stations and wet wells from 2027 through 2032 at an estimated $5.371 million over five years, with challenges to the intended award to Agora Water Solutions LLC due September 22, 2026. Clayton County and Columbia County, Georgia jointly solicited proposals under RFP 2026025-RFP5105 for drinking water treatment residuals removal and disposal at the Jim Blanchard and Clarks Hill Water Treatment Plants, with proposals due July 30, 2026.
