UNSPSC 20142903: Steel holding tank

Tank constructed of steel for containing fluids.

UNSPSC 20142903 Steel holding tank is a Commodity code that encompasses the removal, installation, and replacement of above-ground and underground storage tanks used by state and local governments for fuel, water, and hazardous-material storage. State and local purchasers soliciting under this code are acquiring complete tank system projects—encompassing tank demolition, environmental remediation, new tank procurement, dispensing equipment, site preparation, and facility restoration—rather than tanks as standalone equipment purchases. Recent opportunities show issuing bodies including county governments, municipal utilities, correctional facilities, and medical centers. Work under the code involves coordination with environmental and regulatory agencies (particularly state departments of environmental conservation), compliance with NFPA, OSHA, and EPA standards, substantial insurance and bonding requirements (including pollution liability coverage), and prevailing-wage obligations in some jurisdictions.

Recent activity spans New York, Pennsylvania, and Texas. Erie County Medical Center Corporation (ECMCC) in Buffalo, New York posted an IFB on May 14, 2026 (due June 8, 2026) for removal and replacement of a 5,000-gallon underground diesel tank, including site restoration and installation of a new double-wall above-ground tank with fuel dispensing equipment; the scope encompasses demolition, environmental remediation of petroleum-contaminated soils under New York State Department of Environmental Conservation oversight, and concrete and asphalt restoration, with contractors required to carry $5 million pollution legal liability coverage and comply with prevailing-wage requirements. The County of Delaware, Pennsylvania solicited bids 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 (ITB due June 24, 2026), including fuel facility upgrades, surface preparation, lighting, signage, and asphalt restoration. No other state and local opportunities in the recent-opportunities block substantively align with steel holding tank procurement; those named track to unrelated commodity families (bituminous paving, tandem trucking, fuel delivery, emergency transport).
