UNSPSC 20142901: Oil storage tanks

UNSPSC 20142901 Oil storage tanks (Commodity) covers professional engineering and construction services for evaluation, design, permitting, and installation of fuel oil and gasoline storage systems at public facilities, including underground storage tank removal, replacement, and system upgrades. State and local governments solicit under this code for heating oil UST replacements at schools, fuel system upgrades at correctional facilities, and associated environmental compliance work. The scope includes existing-conditions investigation, alternatives analysis (such as removal versus abandonment-in-place decisions), complete design services across civil, structural, mechanical, electrical, and environmental disciplines, permitting assistance, construction bidding support, and construction administration. Issuing bodies include school districts, counties, and municipalities; the most recent opportunities show school districts and county public works departments as active buyers. Contractors must typically provide Professional Liability insurance ($2 million minimum), General Liability coverage ($1 million per occurrence), and Worker's Compensation insurance, and must ensure compliance with state environmental regulations, NFPA standards (NFPA 30 and 31), UL standards (UL 142 and UL 2085), and federal regulations (40 CFR Part 112).

Recent activity appears in Connecticut and Pennsylvania. The Town of Brookfield Public Schools (Connecticut) issued RFP B2607 for professional engineering services covering evaluation, design, and construction administration of fuel oil storage system upgrades at Whisconier Middle School and Brookfield High School, with a June 18, 2026 proposal due date and mandatory June 4, 2026 pre-bid site walkthrough at 4:00 p.m. EDT; the scope addresses two existing 10,000-gallon heating oil underground storage tanks. The County of Delaware (Pennsylvania) solicited ITB eDPW-062426 for removal of an existing storage tank and installation of a new 1,000-gallon gasoline underground storage tank system at George W. Hill Correctional Facility, with a mandatory pre-bid conference on May 26, 2026 at 11:00 a.m. and bids due June 24, 2026 at 11:00 a.m. via PennBid. Both opportunities require bidders to demonstrate relevant project experience and qualified team composition; neither requires bid bond or performance bond (the school district opportunity), though the correctional facility project follows standard ITB bonding protocols.
